SHES Weekly Update

Updates for the Week of February 13 - 17, 2023

Dear Shadow Hills Families,

I hope this newsletter finds everyone enjoying their three-day weekend with their family and friends. Last week was another fantastic week at Shadow. Students finished their second i-Ready diagnostic test. The data showed how well the dual language model works and how committed our students, staff, and families are to growing their knowledge daily. I must confess again how proud I am of everyone's hard work and determination. You make Shadow the best place to call home for students, staff, families, and me.

Looking forward to this week, we will continue with forward movement and getting our third through fifth graders ready for the CAASPP state testing. Please make sure to send students with charged Chromebooks daily.

I know it's hard to believe, but we are already planning for next year. To do that, we need to know whether your child is returning to Shadow. Please complete the questionnaire below for all children that currently attend Shadow. Please save us a phone call and complete the questionnaire as soon as possible. We appreciate your help with this.

I'm looking forward to another fantastic week at Shadow. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Meris

Please complete this form by Friday, February 17, 2023. One per child.

Character Education - Kindness

Here at school, we have been very busy learning about kindness - what it means, and how we can practice it! Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. Below are many ways that you can help you child continue to learn about the theme of kindness through reading about it, talking about it, and practicing it! We have really enjoyed exploring this topic at school, and I hope your family will enjoy it just as much!

Reading About It

Here are some books to help you learn more kindness:

Practice It!

Spend time writing encouraging notes to people in your community. This could be neighbors, policeman, teachers, nursing home residents, firefighters, anyone! Have your child go with you to deliver your notes of kindness!

Talk About It!

Here are some discussion points to help you talk about courage with your child:

Tell me about a time when someone was kind to you. How did it make you feel?
What do you think kindness means and why is it important?
Who is someone in your class you can be kind to?
What are ways you can be kind to people at home, at school and in the community?
