We are SO excited to recognize our first group of students who have reached 100 steps on their reading practice logs. As of today, the goal is 86 steps, but these students have gone above and beyond! Students earn steps every day! 1 step is equal to 15 minutes of reading. They should be getting 2 steps at school daily, 2 steps at home daily during the week, and 2 steps at home during the weekend. Each student should have a total of 22 steps or 5 1/2 hours of reading logged each week!! Parents: Please make sure you’re signing reading logs at home! Making sure our students are immersed in reading is one of our priorities. We need your help in fostering a love of reading! We are so excited to see how many steps are logged for our kids this year. Thank you for your help with this!

Field Trip Updates: The weather looks like it will not cooperate with us this Thursday for field trips. Overall, it will be cold and rainy. *Pre-K/PPCD Field Trip: They will NOT go to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately, all pumpkin patches in the area are already booked for the season. They will schedule an additional field trip in the spring since they were unable to go to this one. **Kindergarten Field Trips: The classes of Solis, Soliz, Jennings, Krueger/Alexander, and Minyard WILL go on their zoo field trip on Wednesday as scheduled. The classes of Miller, Mercer, Groves, Griffith, and Jackson will postpone their zoo field trip to another day. We will let you the new date for it as soon as we schedule it. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we want our students to enjoy their field trips and not be miserable in the weather! Let us know if you have any questions.
