Mirando delante:
- Conferencias de padres y maestros: programadas para la segunda semana de octubre, estas reuniones son una gran oportunidad para analizar el progreso de su hijo y establecer metas para el próximo trimestre.
- Metas académicas: a medida que avanzamos hacia el segundo trimestre, continuaremos enfocándonos en la excelencia académica y brindando apoyo para garantizar que cada estudiante alcance su máximo potencial.
- Celebración del Cuadro de Honor: Celebraremos el progreso académico de nuestros Challengers el 30 de octubre. La participación en este evento es únicamente por invitación. Continúe animando a su estudiante a concentrarse en aprender y demostrar lo que sabe.
- Reuniones del Consejo Asesor Escolar (SAC): invitamos a todos a unirse a nuestras reuniones del SAC para tener voz en las decisiones escolares y colaborar con otros padres, maestros y miembros de la comunidad.

Fanmi Challengers,
Pandan n ap pwoche nan fen premye trimès la epi n ap prepare pou antre nan dezyèm trimès la, mwen vle pran yon ti moman pou m reflechi sou pwogrè enkwayab elèv nou yo te fè. Se te yon kè kontan wè antouzyasm yo pou aprann ak devouman yo nan kwasans pèsonèl.
· Gade devan: Konferans paran-pwofesè: Rankont sa yo pwograme pou dezyèm semèn oktòb la se yon gwo opòtinite pou diskite sou pwogrè pitit ou a epi fikse objektif pou trimès k ap vini an.· Objektif Akademik: Pandan n ap avanse nan dezyèm trimès la, n ap kontinye konsantre sou ekselans akademik epi bay sipò pou asire chak elèv rive nan tout potansyèl yo.
· Selebrasyon Onè: Nou pral selebre pwogrè akademik Challengers nou yo le 30 oktòb. Patisipasyon nan evènman sa a se sou envitasyon sèlman. Tanpri kontinye ankouraje elèv ou a konsantre sou aprann epi montre sa yo konnen.
· Reyinyon Konsèy Konsiltatif Lekòl (SAC): Nou ankouraje tout moun pou yo rantre nan reyinyon SAC nou yo pou gen yon vwa nan desizyon lekòl yo epi kolabore ak lòt paran, pwofesè, ak manm kominote a. Patisipasyon w gen anpil valè epi li ede fòme avni lekòl nou an. Reyinyon septanm lan te repwograme pou Jedi 3 oktòb a 3:45 am akòz tanpèt la. Reyinyon oktòb nou an ap fèt jedi 30 oktòb a 3:45 pm. Nou espere patisipasyon w!
Mèsi pou sipò w kontinye ak patisipasyon w nan kominote lekòl nou an. Ansanm, nou ka fè ane lekòl sa a yon ane memorab ak siksè pou tout elèv nou yo.
Bonjou,
Doktè Millie TorresDirektè
