Cardinal Chatter

Hope you had a great, safe, relaxing Fall Break! We are in a short week as we have had a long weekend! We have conferences this week. Make sure you sign up for a time if you have not yet! I can’t wait to speak to each of us at Parent Teacher Conferences this week. Remember we have a half day of school on the 18th. Thank you for your commitment for your child’s education and success! I am so glad that First Lutheran and I are on your team to assist your child for their flourishing achievement. This is the first week of the second quarter; which means a fresh start academically. AR goals have reset after fall break. As the weather is making many changes, make sure kids are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions. We are still accepting money for hurricane relief this week. Yearbooks are on sale in the office for the yearbook signing party Thursday afternoon. Blessings as we Endure with Christ’s example!

FRIDAY LETTER SPECIAL NOTE:

As we start off the new calendar year please remember keys to success for a positive school year
Help the kids to be in the full swing of school, as we prepare to be fifth graders! This is especially true for work to be turned in a timely manner. It can be tough to get back into routine after a break. The third late assignment each week, a detention is given according to school policy. Some get VERY close weekly. Planners & Fast Direct are the best tools to help.

A great way to do this is to ask the kids what questions they asked in school that day.:

- Taking work home to have other eyes look at simple mistakes
- Taking graded work home
- Using planners & Fast Direct
- Taking Friday Letters and school Chatters home for information
- Paying attention and focusing in class
- Studying at home for tests
- Turing work in on time
- Reading for AR at home uninterrupted

Here is the 10 10 2024 Friday Letter.
