Advisory Update

Student Schedules for 2nd Semester

This week in Advisory, students checked their second semester schedules. These are available right now in PowerSchool for parents and students to view.

If you have errors or changes to make on your schedule, students have a link in Clever to message their counselor. Parents can email counselors through ParentSquare or via email:

Ms. Weaver: Last Names A-L. mlweaver@kunaschools.org

Mr. Pettit: Last Names M-Z, mlpettit@kunadchools.org

Keep Collecting Pop Tabs!

We are continuing our soda tab competition in advisory to see which class can collect the most soda/pop tabs. All collected tabs will go toward Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho, thanks to the Colquitt family.

James and Stephanie Colquitt have been collecting pop tabs every year to donate in honor of their son Kai, who passed away in 2019 at just six weeks old. This year, our students have the chance to help them collect even more tabs for their 2026 donation, making a meaningful contribution while learning the impact of small acts of generosity.

We can’t wait to see which advisory will bring in the most tabs and support this special cause!

WIN

(What I Need)

Students have switched to their last WIN group for the semester. This time they focus on Reading extension through WIN lessons. Students who still need help in Math will continue to work on Math each day. All students will work on MyPath Math on Monday and Thursdays.

Students have completed or almost completed their Winter Reading Diagnostic. Students will take the iReady Math Diagnostic in January. After all assessments are taken and data is analyzed, students will be placed in new WIN groups based on their Winter scores.

Research shows that students who spend 45 minutes on MyPath a week and who participate in iReady lessons grow more than typical on their ISAT scores each year.

Students can work on MyPath at home!!
