Week of 2/2 - 2/6

Hey Panda Family,

This week was National School Counseling Week. It is safe to say that we have hands-down the best school counselor in the business! On a daily basis, Ms. Ceglowski gets in thousands of steps as she runs around to meet the individual needs of students who are struggling, advocates for our neediest families, teaches guidance lessons to build important life skills for all students, and supports teachers and administration with a variety of miscellaneous tasks. She is the ultimate team player and we wouldn't have near the success if she wasn't a panda. Thank you for all you do, Ms. Ceglowski! You are amazing! 🐼


Here are the Weekly Wrap updates for this week:



New Updates

Mclass MOY Window: The Mclass MOY window has been extended until February 13. Please make sure all testing is finalized by this date. 


PLTs: All grade levels will have PLTs next week. 


Progress Reports: The progress report window for 3rd quarter has been extended by one week to allow teachers the extra time to record and input grades. I will inform parents to check Infinite Campus Parent Portal on February 20 & any paper progress reports should also go home on February 20. The end of the quarter will still be March 6. 


PBIS Updates: Please see the PBIS updates below.
