Week of October 14

We are doing picture retakes on Tuesday.  If your student was absent on picture day, they can get their picture taken on Tuesday morning.  If your student had pictures taken, but doesn’t love them, they can take another picture.  If you ordered pictures and are getting a retake, please bring them to return.  Pictures can still be ordered from the first picture day or from retakes by going to mylifetouch.com.  Use code F202410OFF to receive 10% off your order.  

Fall conferences are on October 30th and 31st.  Teachers will be available from 3:30-7:30 on the 30th and 8:00-5:00 on the 31st.  Students will be dismissed at 11:30 on the 30th and there is no school on Friday, November 1st.  Families can sign up for conferences through PTCFast beginning at 8:00 am on the 21st.  We hope to see all families at conferences. 

Six week grade reports were sent out on Friday via email.  They can also be viewed in PowerSchool.  Please review these with your student and identify areas of celebration and areas of growth.  If your student is struggling in a class, be sure to schedule a conference with that teacher. 

This is our last chance to opt into Rhithm.   It is an invaluable tool for our school. In order for your student to use Rhithm, they need your permission. Please watch this presentation to learn more about Rhithm and then use this form to give your student permission to use it.  Please don’t hesitate to contact Kevin O’Dea at kodea@acsd1.org or 307-721-4430 if you have any questions. 

The October meeting of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC, formerly known as PTO) is on Tuesday at 6:00 pm in the LMS library.  All LMS families are cordially invited.  We will be discussing conferences, our school colors, and school to home communication.  We hope to see you there.  Make it a great week!

Week of October 7

This month, we’re challenging students to envision future goals and take intentional steps toward who they want to be. We are partnering with you to grow and develop your child’s ability to self-direct. We can model self-direction by celebrating the positive in each day, seeking the good in others, and emphasizing our responsibility to make positive choices. If your student doesn’t already use a planner, empower them to start using one to manage their time better. Have a weekly meeting with your student to share what they have added to their planners. You can help them add family gatherings, school events, and due dates.  You can also review the week at a glance in Canvas for each of their classes to help your student manage their time and have them use their Outlook calendar in place of a paper planner.  Read more about helping your student self-direct in the September CKH newsletter.

We are still collecting opt-ins for Rhithm.   It is an invaluable tool for our school. In order for your student to use Rhithm, they need your permission.

The week is underway and it’s going to be a good one.  Boys wrestling practice began today and volleyball and cross country conclude their seasons this week.  Many of our clubs have started as well. Please encourage your student to get involved in a sport, a club, and/or the fine arts.  Participating in these activities enriches their school experience and helps them develop essential life skills.  Make it a great week!
