Dear Cardinal Families:
Happy Friday Cardinal Families.Today marks the end of the first quarter. I am so proud of the work our students and teachers have done so far this year. There hasn't been a day that's gone by where teachers haven't challenged our students to think harder and learn more, and the best part...our students have met these challenges. Report cards will be posted in PowerSchool on October 9th. Please be sure to log in and view your child's first quarter grades. Next week you will be attending parent/teacher conferences. Please take this time to learn how your child has been progressing academically throughout the year and how he/she is doing socially and emotionally. All three areas are very important to the development of our students. Teachers will be sharing ideas on how you can support your child better at home, but it's also important for you to share ideas with the teachers about how we can do a better job here based upon your knowledge of your child. This is a great time for us to connect and partner with you to give your child the best educational experience possible. Our fall break begins on October 12. Students will have a two week break. However, we don't want them to take a break from everything at school. We are asking students to "Fall into Reading" over break with our fall reading challenge. We want students to read for 15 minutes 10 days over the break. Please spend time reading with your child and asking them questions. This is one of the most important things you can do to help your child be successful at school. There will be a celebration for all students who complete the reading challenge. As an extra incentive, any student who completes all three reading challenges throughout the year will enjoy a pool party at the high school pool. Please encourage your child to read! I would like to give a quick shout out to the 5th grade students and Mrs. McMullen's class as well as to Miss Havala. Their music program on Tuesday was awesome. It was evident that they had worked very hard to prepare for this. Congratulations to them! I can't end my note to you without recognizing our students who have clipped up to red recently. I am so proud of the behavior choices these students have made in order to reach the top. Congratulations to these students:

Fall arrived quickly with the temperatures being so cool. I hope you don't get blown away this weekend.
