Wildcat Weekly

September 25, 2026
Dear Wildcats,

As we wrap up our sixth week of school, routines and procedures are well established across campus, and our Wildcats are settling into the school year. Many evenings and weekends are filling up quickly with activities, events, and busy schedules. This is a great time to check in with your child about their school and stay connected to what's happening on campus. The next several weeks will be especially busy with lots of learning and events!

Today, progress reports were sent home for students in grades 2-6. Please take time to review your child's progress and celebrate their successes while identifying any areas where additional support may be needed. Also, mark your calendars: the first quarter ends on October 23. Parent-Teacher Conference sign-up information will be coming soon, so be on the lookout for details.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

With Wildcat Pride,
Aman Athwal
Principal

Jog-a-thon Update

We are still fundraising for our Jog-a-thon, and the big day is almost here! Our Wildcats will hit the track this Wednesday, September 30th, and we cannot wait to celebrate all of their hard work and school spirit! 
Please see the image above for the specific running times for each grade level so you know when your child will be participating.
We are also incredibly excited to have some local heroes joining us on campus! Our students will have the opportunity to see, meet, and visit with these special guests after they complete their run. It will be a wonderful opportunity for our Wildcats to celebrate their accomplishments while also showing appreciation for the heroes who serve and support our community.
We encourage all students to wear RED, WHITE, and BLUE on Wednesday as we honor and celebrate our heroes!
There is still time to fundraise! Our fundraising campaign will remain open through Friday, October 2nd. Students can continue earning prize credits through the end of the day on October 2nd, so there is still plenty of time to reach those goals and earn those prizes!
Thank you so much for your continued support of our students and our school. We are getting SO close to the finish line, and we cannot wait to see our Wildcats run, celebrate, and come together as a school community!
