January

Dear Families,

Happy New Year! I hope you had an enjoyable winter break. We are excited to be back in session. Here are some upcoming events for Hurlbutt. 

 
Math Workshop for Families:  Understanding Elementary School Mathematics 
Date: Friday, January 19, 2024
Time: 9:15-10:30 A.M.
Where: South House Cafeteria at HES
 
We are pleased to invite you to our parent workshop! Our goal is to help you understand the math your child is learning and allow you to better support that learning at home. This session will be interactive and hands-on, so come excited to learn some new ways to think about mathematics! Reservations are needed as space is limited, and we need to know how many sets of materials to prepare. If we exceed our capacity, another session will be offered. Please respond to this Google Form no later than January 10.  Sign Up

 

If you have any questions, please reach out to kellydelvecchio@westonps.org. Mrs. DelVecchio is an instructional coach at Hurlbutt and leads our math and science program. She will be leading this session.

 
Kindergarten Registration
If you have an incoming kindergarten student for the 24-25 school year, you can begin the registration process. Follow this link to our district website to register. Children are eligible for kindergarten if they are 5 on or before September 1, 2024.  Registration
 
Winter Progress Monitoring
Our teachers monitor student progress throughout the year. In addition to ongoing classroom assessment of progress, our district uses the NWEA to track student growth in math.The winter assessment falls within the first few weeks of January. Our first and second graders took this online assessment in the fall. Our kindergarten students will take the NWEA for the first time this month. Teachers will analyze the results in the context of all the progress monitoring and classroom observations they have acquired about students. 
 
Sincerely,
Laura Kaddis
Principal
