Estimadas familias,
COVID
Esta semana 12 personas de nuestra comunidad han dado positivo en la prueba de COVID. Por favor, sigan manteniendo a su hij@ en casa si él/ella/elle muestra algún síntoma. También, si su hij@ da positivo a Covid en casa o fuera de la escuela, por favor avísenme a mí o a la enfermera Tamara para que podamos tener un registro lo más preciso posible.
Día de Salida Temprana
Amigos tiene 1 día más de salida temprana este año, el 24 de junio, l@s estudiantes saldrán a las 11:30AM. Por favor marque esta fecha importante en su calendario. No tenemos un día de salida temprana el 8 de junio.
Lo más destacado del aprendizaje
Matemáticas
Nuestr@s estudiantes de K-5 han estado viendo a JiJi subir al 100% en nuestro tablón de anuncios de Matemáticas ST. L@s estudiantes ven sus promedios de nivel de grado para el logro, ya que cada grado trabaja para completar su viaje de nivel de grado.
ST Math es una plataforma de aprendizaje de matemáticas que se centra en la comprensión conceptual de los conceptos matemáticos a través del juego en línea y se puede acceder a través de Classlink en casa. El tiempo adicional en ST Math les da a l@s estudiantes tiempo extra con todos los estándares del nivel de grado, repasa el material previamente aprendido y eventualmente ofrece rompecabezas de desafío. Por favor, apoye nuestro objetivo de llegar a la cima haciendo que su hij@ juegue en casa ST Math.

Dear Amigos Families,
COVID
12 individuals in our community tested positive for COVID this week. Please continue to keep your child home if he/she/they show any symptoms. Also, if your child tests positive for COVID at home or outside of school, please let me or Nurse Tamara know so we can have as accurate records as possible.

Learning Highlights
Math
Our K-5 students have been watching JiJi climb to 100% on our ST Math bulletin board. Students see their grade level averages for achievement, as each grade works towards completing their grade level journey.
ST Math is a math learning platform that focuses on conceptual understanding of math concepts through online play and can be accessed via Classlink at home. Additional time in ST Math gives students extra time with all grade level standards, reviews previously learned material and eventually offers challenge puzzles. Please support our goal of reaching the top by having your child play ST Math at home.

Middle School Health Survey
Every two years all middle schoolers across the district take this very important survey.
- The survey is completely anonymous.
- It gives us information on how students are feeling about themselves and the school.
- We use this information to figure out how we can make ourselves a better school and what supports students need. It also tells us what we are doing well, which is always good to hear.
- We don’t get the information back until the fall. When we have it, we will definitely share the results with you and let you know what we plan to do about it!
