Students will be completing their middle-of-the-year assessments December 8th–12th to measure the growth they’ve made since the beginning of the year. Teachers will use this information to plan instruction and interventions as we move into the second semester in January.
It is important for students to be in school during these days so they don’t miss their assessments, which would require rescheduling and additional testing time. Please help ensure your child is present during December 8th–12th.
Thank you!

🌟 Leaders of the Pack! 🌟
Congratulations to our most recent Leaders of the Pack for showing what it means to Begin with the End in Mind! These students have demonstrated great goal setting, planning, and purpose in their learning and actions. We’re so proud of the focus and determination they show each day as they lead our Coyote Pack! 🐾
As we move into November and December, our next habit focus is Put First Things First — learning how to prioritize what’s most important, manage time wisely, and make responsible choices. We can’t wait to see our students continue to grow as leaders who know how to take charge of what matters most! 🍂

🌟 Special Cultural Showcase – Featuring Hoop Dancer Tara Kingi for Native American Heritage Month! 🌟
We are excited to announce that professional hoop dancer Tara Kingi will be performing at our Student Showcase on Friday November 21st at 1:15 PM!

In addition, we invite all students and staff to join in the celebration by wearing moccasins or moccasin slippers as part of the "Rock Your Mocs" movement. You’re also encouraged to wear turquoise on the 21st in honor of Native American Heritage Month.
We look forward to celebrating culture, tradition, and student pride together!
