March Reading Madness Update!

The Gearity March Madness Read-a-thon is now going into its 4th week. We only have two weeks left before the winning homeroom is announced. Please encourage your students to keep reading and submit their reading logs. We had two homerooms get back into the competition last week by having a higher minutes per week reading average than two team that had qualified the week before. As a reminder:

Each Monday, homeroom teachers are sending home the new reading log for that week’s competition, regardless if the homeroom is on the bracket or not.
Each week, the minutes read by the class will be averaged (someone not turning in a log will impact the class average).
Students that read 100+ minutes in a week will be able to choose an item from a specially curated collection of prizes that cannot be purchased in the PAWS store.
The winning class will win bragging rights as champion and a special class prize (to be shared at the conclusion of the competition).

Kindergarten Information Night is Coming Soon ...

We need your help spreading the word - Gearity will host our Kindergarten Information Night on March 21st from 6-7 pm. Please let any family members who live in University Heights or neighbors who have future kindergarten students know about the event. Families will have an opportunity to meet our Kindergarten team. They will also learn how to register their new student, about readiness assessments, and how to find important school information (such as busing, daily menus, academic programs, etc...).
