Memorial Day weekend is always a time to pause, reflect, and remember those who have given everything in service to our country. This year, my heart is also with the Northport community as they navigate the deep sorrow of last week's devastating tragedy. It has been moving to see that community come together in strength and unity during such a difficult time. Today, our middle school softball and baseball teams will travel there for their final game—at the request of the grieving family, the games will continue as a tribute and honor to their loved one. Todd and I will be traveling up to support their community, school, and teams, and I ask that you all keep them close in your thoughts and prayers.
As we enter the final three weeks of the school year, things will be busy, exciting, and full of activity. Thank you for your ongoing leadership, teamwork, and flexibility as we wrap up testing, embark on field trips, and continue meaningful teaching and learning in our classrooms.
Let's make this a great week—remember, we are caring for and loving other people's babies every single day. Let that love, care, and compassion shine brightly in all we do.
Memorial Day
Please remind students that although we observed Memorial Day yesterday with no school, we have a regular four-day school week, including a full school day on Friday. Let's help students stay focused and finish the week strong!
Blood Drive
There's still space to donate blood at today's blood drive! Stop by the library between 10:30 AM and 2:45 PM to donate. This is a wonderful opportunity to help save lives and support our community. Thank you for considering!
WSU South Stevens County Celebration – Action Requested
This Wednesday, join us for the South Stevens County Mentorship Celebration at the Mistequa Hotel, starting at 5:30 PM. The evening will include dinner, presentations, and student project displays, honoring our 9th grade Capstone students, 12th grade graduates, and Peer Mentors. Please consider attending to show your support for the impactful work WSU is doing in partnership with our school—your presence makes a difference!
Summative Evaluations – Action Requested
This week, I will be wrapping up summative evaluations and sharing them individually with staff. I've truly appreciated the reflective conversations we've had so far and the thoughtful discussions about how we can continue to strengthen our Charger Learning Community.
Certificated Staff: I will connect with you during your prep periods this week to review your summative evaluations. Many of you have also provided valuable insights and observations about the paras working in your classrooms — thank you! Please let me know if there's anything additional you'd like reflected in the process; your input is always helpful.
Classified Staff: I will be scheduling short meetings with each of you this week, with Friday being the most open and flexible.
Thank you all for your ongoing dedication, hard work, and commitment to supporting our students. I'm grateful for each of you!
Charger Assemblies – Action Needed
This Thursday, we will host our Charger Assemblies! Please send your student recognition names to Bailey as soon as possible. It's also important to reach out to families—send a quick call or email inviting them to join the celebration. Together, let's make this a joyful and meaningful experience for our students and their loved ones!
FLASH – Family Life and Sexual Health Curriculum
This week we will continue teaching the FLASH curriculum to grades 4–8, with our classroom team, PE teacher, nurse, and support staff working together to guide students in making healthy, informed choices. While we approach this curriculum with professionalism, we honor and respect the important role families play in these conversations. Each lesson includes a family discussion activity to support at-home dialogue, and copies of the curriculum are available for review in the office. Thank you for helping us maintain thoughtful, respectful partnerships with our families.
