Dear Cheetah Families,

As we head into Thanksgiving break, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the focus of our month: kindness and gratitude. Our students have spent time thinking about what they are thankful for and practicing acts of gratitude throughout the school community. Their reflections and actions have been truly heartwarming to see.

As a school, we are incredibly thankful for all of our students. We are grateful that you share them with us each day, and we deeply appreciate your support and partnership as we watch our little Cheetahs grow and learn.

We wish you and your family a warm, restful, and joyful Thanksgiving.

With gratitude,

Principal Moore

Report cards and progress reports are being sent home today.

Our report cards are standards-based and reflect your child’s progress so far this school year. We expect students to meet the standard by the end of the school year.

If your child receives special education services, their progress notes will also be included.

Please be sure to check your child’s backpack or folder for these important documents.

Thank you for your continued support!

As we move into the break, we also encourage our families to continue supporting daily reading at home. Even just 15–20 minutes a day can make a big difference in building confidence, strengthening comprehension, and keeping students’ skills sharp.

You can support your child by using a few simple AVID critical reading strategies at home:

These small habits help students become active, thoughtful readers—and your support at home makes an enormous difference.

Thank you for all you do to promote learning beyond the classroom. We hope you enjoy reading together and making memories over the break!

Parents, our Lost and Found is FULL. We have everything from water bottles and lunch boxes to pants and coats—and more!

Please encourage your child to look through the lost items and retrieve anything that belongs to them.

All items will also be on display during Reed’s Fiesta on December 6th for parents to look through. Any items not claimed by the end of the event will be donated.

To help prevent future mix-ups, we strongly recommend writing your child’s name inside their coat, jacket, or other frequently misplaced items.

Thank you for your help!
