If your student is in band, they probably noticed things looking a little different as they returned to the classroom this year. We are pleased to announce that over the summer, we were notified that our band program was going to receive a significant boost from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund. Thank you to Mr. Gregg and the Kirkpatrick Family Fund for this grant and for investing in our students.

Dear Parents, Why do students get out early every Friday? It’s not so teachers can leave early—teachers stay on campus working together in what we call “Professional Learning Communities” or PLCs.

Think of your child’s teachers like a team of coaches. On early release Fridays, they:
*Share best strategies* – If a teacher finds a great way to teach something, they share it with others.
*Solve problems together* – Teachers work as a team to help students who may be struggling.
* Learn new skills* – From technology to new teaching methods, teachers use this time to grow professionally.
*Review student progress* – Teachers look at student data to plan how to support each child.

This time directly benefits your child with:
- Better teaching
- Stronger support
- More engaging lessons
- A focus on every student’s success

We know early release can be an adjustment, but it’s truly an investment in your child’s learning. Thank you for your support!

Estimados padres, ¿Por qué los estudiantes salen temprano todos los viernes? No es para que los maestros puedan irse temprano, los maestros se quedan en el campus trabajando juntos en lo que llamamos "Comunidades de Aprendizaje Profesional" o PLC.

Piense en los maestros de su hijo como un equipo de entrenadores. Los viernes de salida temprana, ellos:
*Comparte las mejores estrategias* – Si un profesor encuentra una buena manera de enseñar algo, lo comparte con otros. *Resolver problemas juntos* – Los maestros trabajan en equipo para ayudar a los estudiantes que pueden estar luchando.
*Aprender nuevas habilidades* – desde la tecnología hasta los nuevos métodos de enseñanza, los profesores aprovechan este tiempo para crecer profesionalmente.
*Revisar el progreso de los estudiantes* – Los maestros observan los datos de los estudiantes para planificar cómo apoyar a cada niño.

Esta vez beneficia directamente a su hijo con:
- Mejor enseñanza
- Mayor apoyo
- Lecciones más atractivas
- Un enfoque en el éxito de cada estudiante

Sabemos que la salida temprana puede ser un ajuste, pero en realidad es una inversión en el aprendizaje de su hijo. ¡Gracias por su apoyo!
