Hello Hawk Families!

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the second quarter, the year is flying by! We’ve seen incredible teaching, learning, and student growth happening across campus. Our classrooms are buzzing with excitement as students track their goals, celebrate progress, and take ownership of their learning.

We’re so proud of our Hawks for the way they’ve embraced data chats, goal setting, and Progress Learning practice. Every day, we see students challenging themselves to improve, whether it’s reading just a little longer, mastering a new math skill, or beating their last quiz score. These are the daily moments that lead to big success.

Thank you, families, for your continued partnership. Your encouragement at home truly makes a difference. We couldn’t do this work without your support, your communication, and your trust. As we move closer to PM2 testing, let’s keep working together to help every student reach their personal best.

With appreciation,

Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Vargas

WHEN: WEDNESDAY 11/12

TIME: 2:00PM-9:00PM

MENTION HICKORY TREE!

Don't forget to use the new PROGRESS LEARNING program available to all students through Classlink.

This computer-based program will provide remediation and enrichment for all students in K-5 Reading, Math, and Science. We encourage your student to take advantage of this valuable tool at home.

Students work on their Study Plan, at their pace, as they review foundational skills designed to build fluency and understanding. Access is available via Class Link. We encourage students to use the program several times a week as they sharpen their knowledge in preparation for the upcoming PM2 State Exam.

Other tips for at home support include:

Our teachers continue to deliver top-notch instruction each day — using data, small groups, and creative lessons to help every student grow. Please continue encouraging your child to:

ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

Small moments at home can make a big impact on your child’s confidence and success at school.

There will be no school on Tuesday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.

However, we will be holding our annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Monday, November 10th, to honor and celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country. This special event is one of our favorite traditions, reminding our students about courage, sacrifice, and gratitude.

Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue as we come together to say thank you to our heroes — past and present.

Q2 Progress Reports will be posted this Friday, November 14th in the Focus Parent Portal! This marks the halfway point of the second quarter, and believe it or not, almost the halfway point of our school year!

Please take time this week to sit with your child and review their grades together. Have a conversation about their goals:

Your involvement and encouragement are key to helping them stay on track and finish the quarter strong!

Our PM2 Testing Window begins in December! Every student has a personal growth goal to meet based on their PM1 score and their year-end PM3 goal. Teachers are holding one-on-one goal-setting conversations with students to review their progress and plan next steps.

We encourage you to have this same conversation at home! Ask your child about their PM2 goal — what it is, how they plan to reach it, and how you can help support them along the way.

Students who meet or exceed their PM2 goals will earn special incentives and celebrations! 🎉

Together, let’s make sure our Hawks soar on PM2!
