September’s Capturing Kids’ Hearts Focus: EMPATHY
Empathy means understanding and sharing another person’s feelings—to imagine how they might feel in their situation.
This month’s challenge: Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Listen before judging, recognize when someone may need support, and choose kindness.
When we lead with empathy, we help create an environment where students feel seen, heard, and valued—building trust and positive relationships every day.
Families, our students will soon be completing their Math Benchmark Assessment! This assessment helps teachers understand what students know, identify areas where they may need additional support, and plan instruction to help every student grow.
Grades 1–8: September 8
Kindergarten: September 15
Please help your child do their best by:
Getting a good night’s sleep
Starting the day with a healthy breakfast
Arriving at school ready to learn
Reminding them to take their time and do their best!
Thank you for partnering with us to support student success! We’ve got this!
Our students in Grades 1–8 will begin their Reading Benchmark on September 1, with Kindergarten beginning on September 8.

Good luck, students! You’ve got this!
