Good evening, We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Since we've adopted a new grading a reporting system this year, report cards will look different than they have in the past. Therefore, before report cards are sent home to EMS families later this week, we wanted to provide some resources that may help you navigate the new report. The report is called a "Student Learning Snapshot" because it is meant to give you a "snapshot" of how your student is doing at this moment in time. As the year progresses, students will continue to learn and grow. Please remember that you can login and check on your student's progress on individual assignments at any time by visiting the SmartScore Family website (www.smartedsystems.com). For now, you are welcome to review the "Student Learning Snapshot Cheat Sheet" (https://bit.ly/slscheatsheet) for a quick overview of the information included in the report card. A more detailed and in-depth overview is provided in the walkthrough video that is linked here (https://youtu.be/YvQZAMxKpdo). As always, our goal is to make these report cards as valuable and informative as possible for you and your student. Please reach out to your student's teacher, principal, or the Curriculum & Instruction office if you have any questions or if you need additional support. Thank you! Erica Harryman, Director of Instruction Kyle Chadburn, Access & Opportunities Coordinator

Building Update: As you can see the rebuilding is well underway. The new flooring in the classrooms should be completed this week. Some of our cabinets have started to arrive, and will be installed soon. Once the cabinets are set in place the plumbers will return to complete the installation of the sinks, toilets, and finish heating repairs. In some of these images you will see boxes full of the items that we were able to salvage - these will have to be sorted and put away. The gymnasium is still in need of a significant amount of work. The contaminants from the gym floor have seeped into the concrete. The test results have come back, and we are currently awaiting word from the engineer regarding the next steps. More to come.

BEHAVIORAL THREAT ASSESSMENT

On Wednesday, October 26, we hosted our 2nd Annual Pizza & Pumpkin Carving Night for OES families. Families were able to enjoy an evening carving and/or painting pumpkins, making apple cider and enjoying some pizza. We are so thankful for the following people who help make this night a success: Travis Terrell for cooking pizza pies; Madison Tinker, Aaliyah Grady, Thayer Meyers and Aiden Powell for gutting pumpkins; Green Mountain Farm to School for the cider press and the Village Office for allowing use of the municipal building while our gym is under construction.

What a season! Our Owls ended the season with a 9-2-1 record. With the youngest team in the district needing 5th graders to fill the field, we are so proud of their hard work and dedication. The final game was a tough loss vs Coventry under the lights. Even though they fell 1-3, they played hard the entire game. We want to extend a HUGE thank you to Coach Brad Phillips for his commitment to Orleans and our greater community's soccer programming.
