ILEAD: FALL BREAK

Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day

Hello Trailblazer Families:

Have a Wonderful Fall Break!  Make Memories!  Sharpen your Saw!

Students will be out of school for Fall Break October 2 - 9.  School resumes on October 10 with the doors opening immediately at 8:30 and school beginning at 9:00am.

BE PROACTIVE:

• October Habit of the Month Picture Challenge:  Begin With The End In Mind
  For the month of October our Habit of the Month is to “Begin With The End In Mind.”  Students that follow this habit plan ahead and set goals. These students engage in things that have meaning and make a difference. These students are an important part of their classroom and family unit.  They contribute in purposeful ways and look for ways to be a good citizen. 
  This month, try to catch your student “Beginning With The End In Mind.”  Students might be setting a goal and taking steps to try to reach it.  They may be making a plan for getting an assignment completed or a plan on how they will learn something new.  Talk about this habit with your student and see if  you can see them putting it in to action.  Please email any pictures or “shout outs” to Mrs. Spencer (Nickie.spencer@bullitt.kyschools.us) so we can celebrate our students that are Beginning With The End In Mind outside of their school environment!
• New Dates for Krispy Kreme Certficate Sales for PTA:  Order forms go home on October 10 and are due October 17.  
• Help out the PTA by linking your Kroger Card to Crossroads PTA #75830!  This small step helps our PTA to assist in providing for our school.  They have helped with our new buddy bench, the playground, basketball goals, and many other funding items!  We appreciate your consideration and time.
• As you may already know, state assessment scores were released yesterday.  We are currently making progress.  Last year, our school worked very diligently to increase our growth and gap scores from the year before and we did do that.  Are we satisfied with the outcome?  No, but we did make gains and are continuing to refine our practices to ensure that our students are successful.  Please keep in mind that KPREP is one measure - we also measure ourselves by how successful we are in teaching our students more than the content, such as leadership skills, technology skills and how to get along with other people.  We are excited to see how much we grow this year!
