October 29 - November 2






“Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end." - Scott Adams


A Note From Mr. Witherspoon:

I would like to start off by thanking all of the wonderful PTA volunteers for all the hard work that was put in for Cleveland's Halloween Activity Night!  The night was an overwhelming success and it so incredible to see all the families have a chance and enjoy their time at Cleveland!  Also, thank you to the all of you who took the time to decorate your trunks...they looked awesome!!  Halloween week is upon us and some of you may carry on with traditions of Trick or Treating...please be careful and be sure to monitor what your children are bringing home (especially for the treats you may like 😉).  Lastly, please monitor what "snacks" they are bringing to school (pretty please 😊).   

The staff at Cleveland works diligently at identifying the strengths and challenges for each child as we strive to meet the needs of every child every day.  Intervention blocks are a way for us to focus on the individual needs of the students.  The staff (teachers and support staff) focus one hour per day, 5 days per week, on delivering targeted instruction based on the individual needs of each student.  The interventions that are offered during this time are skills that will help students have more success this school year and beyond.  The students, during this time, will not be missing any "new content" as each of the students will be focused on their specific skill(s).  Please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher to find out what they are working on during this time and to seek out things that you can do at home to support this effort.  

Living the Eagle way of life!  We want our students to be successful in all facets of their lives and, with your partnership, we will!  We are going to begin focusing on "Kindness" for the month of November and how we can demonstrate this in all the different areas of our lives (school, home, at a playground, while shopping, etc.).  We feel it is important to educate the whole child, academically and social/emotionally, and it is our goal to create opportunities.  Please take advantage of any moments to highlight situations that kindness has been demonstrated or could of been demonstrated; these little conversations can make a huge difference!         


Have a great week!!!




Congratulations to Ms. Bone!!!!! WNIC Teacher of the week!!!!!
