A.W. Becker Community,

I hope all is well with our AWB family as we work our way into November. Here are a few news updates I'd like to share with you.

1.) We have completed 3 out of 6 of our mandatory evacuation drills. I will make parents and guardians aware of our next drill via ParentSquare.

2.)  PTA membership has been fantastic! Our total membership is up 99% from last year already. There is no future obligation if you join. If you are interested in joining, there is a link below. I want to thank the PTA for all they've done in getting Eric Litwin into our building and running our book fair. Both were very successful opportunities for our students and families.

3.) We were lucky enough to get a bin full of small pumpkins donated by Farmer Johns. We have some left over if anyone is looking to add some fall décor to their homes. They are out front by the flagpole. Along with the pumpkins, we have some bales of hay. These are located by our main entrance.  Please feel free to come and get some.

Each school year, RCS develops district and building goals that we strive to meet. This school year, AWB is starting work on four long-term goals that align with our district and BOE initiatives. These goals run through the 2029 school year. These goals serve as our compass, guiding us towards providing the best possible education and support for your children. Together, as a united school community, we are committed to ensuring the academic and social-emotional success of each student within our walls.

1.) Communication - Increase community engagement

2.) Culture and Climate - Cultivate a safe, inclusive learning environment

3.) Academic Outcomes - Provide standard aligned, relevant instruction for all students.
