Progress reports are now visible for the 2nd trimester. You will check them the same way you check the report cards.

SurveyWorks Survey:  It’s that time of year where we ask all students, parents, and faculty to complete the online SurveyWorks Survey.  This survey provides school districts with valuable information that can help to inform changes.  Your participation would be greatly appreciated! We are asking that parents complete youthe survey anytime between January 28th and February 8th.  The survey can be accessed at: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/ride/login and our school login code is 03107family.  All students will be completing their survey in school during their technology classes.To learn more about the program, please go here. Way to go Callahan!!!! So far 54 family members have completed the survey (10 more than last year all together)!!

Are you looking for ways to help your child with writing or math homework? Do you wonder why your child is using different math strategies when the way you learned in school seemed to work just fine? Are you curious about how to help your child develop a good story?
Come to an information session on Monday, February 11th from 5:30 - 6:45. when teachers from WLC will be facilitating sessions on these very topics. Parents will be able to go to different rooms and hear from teachers at various grade levels about what strategies they are using to teach math and writing in the classroom. During this time school age students will be participating in some fun activities in the library.

February>>>>>Food Collection for the month of February for the weekend backpack program will be peanut butter (Plastic containers only please).  We were hoping you would consider donating some for our weekend backpack program. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you Callahan families for the donations so far!! Our Goal is 100 Peanut butter jars!!

We are now collecting items for our Spring Breakfast Theme baskets.  Your child will be coming home with a Pink flyer Monday afternoon with their classroom theme.  Please consider donating to your child’s classroom basket.
