A huge thank you to our families who found ways to engage with their child\u2019s education this fall! Whether you talked about math at home after a unit communication, attended Title activities or parent conferences, volunteered to sort literacy materials, or just asked your child about their week, your engagement matters (to us AND especially to your child).<\/span><\/p>\n

We have plenty of additional engagement opportunities coming up, including our wonderful community tradition of a Holiday Sing Along.\u00a0 We will gather in the Middle School gymnasium this year to give more space to our families.\u00a0 Remember to wear your PJs, bring a blanket, and your singing voice! Falcon Families PTO group will sell pizza, nachos and beverages (to be enjoyed in the commons area).\u00a0 We hope to see you for this sing along \/ mini-performance on Tuesday, December 19th at 6:00 PM in the Middle School gym (more information below).<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a few other school-wide student engagement activities for December (see our events section below) and hope you will continue to ask your child about what they are reading, seeing, hearing and participating in each day at school.\u00a0 Happiest of Holidays to all of our families and our extended community. We appreciate you each and every day of the year!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are so very proud of our students and staff on our continuing \u201cExceeds Expectations\u201d designation on our <\/span>Wisconsin DPI State Report Card<\/a>.\u00a0 This data comes from a variety of data pieces, such as attendance, behavior, and most importantly, academic achievement and growth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These past couple of years have seen us adopting new curriculum materials and focusing on our Universal Instruction (instruction for ALL kids).\u00a0 This focus has helped our students grow 20% in math over the past two years! We are excited to learn and grow in our literacy instruction, as well.\u00a0 We are so grateful to our families for your support and enthusiasm for learning at home!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Special Thank You to Falcon Families (which includes <\/span>YOU<\/span>!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, Falcon Families donated a large amount of Scholastic Dollars to our classroom engagement libraries.\u00a0 \u201cAn engagement library, what\u2019s that?,\u201d you ask.\u00a0 Engagement libraries are classroom libraries curated to motivate our students to read for pleasure, creating stronger foundation for reading through exposure, vocabulary, and just enjoyment for reading.\u00a0 Many of our classroom libraries have dated books that teachers have collected over the years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While ALL books have a place, there is nothing like a new book from a contemporary children\u2019s author to excite our budding readers.\u00a0 Examples include Gerald and Piggy, Pigeon, Cool Beans books, Pete the Cat, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and more!\u00a0 A HUGE thank you to Falcon Families for this donation toward building stronger and more motivated readers in our school.<\/span><\/p>\n

If YOU made a purchase at the Book Fair, then thanks to YOU, as well! Every purchase you make helps Falcon Families build Scholastic Dollars, used for projects like the classroom engagement libraries, weekly readers (which many students and families love), and fulfilling teacher wish lists for their classroom.\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you!\u00a0 You matter!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
