Windham Family,
And just like that we are into the final month of the 22-23 school year. Thank you for sharing your children with us. It is a privilege to be part of their lives.
There are many different types of events taking place this month. Some of them are a bit less structured than our typical school days. We appreciate families reiterating with students at home the importance of following Bomber PRIDE for the safety of all students and adults. Have a conversation with them about what Bomber PRIDE (Prepared, Respect Integrity, Demonstrating Safety, Excellence) stands for and how they can demonstrate it in each area, even while they are at home. We continue to use Zones to determine how we are feeling and what strategies we can utilize to best cope and manage those emotions.
We wrapped up state testing in 3rd and 4th grade this past month. All students worked diligently. All grade levels will begin to take the final diagnostic in iReady for both reading and math. Other tools may be utilized to assess students too.
Grade level field trips will be taking place. STEAM Night, featuring various grades in the district, will be hosted at the JH/HS on Thursday, May 4th. May 8th-12th is Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week. May 15th-19th is our annual “Making Memories” week. All week fun activities are scheduled from rock decorating, to tie dyeing t-shirts, to planting and decorating pots, along with other events happening too. Your teachers will send home a more detailed schedule as the time nears and the order of events may change due to weather. All supplies will be provided. 3rd and 4th grade will take on each other in a friendly game of kickball. Our Annual Field Day takes place on May 23rd, rain date, TBD.
