The voyages of Columbus were big news throughout Europe and sparked an age of discovery, exploration, settlement, and expanding trade. During our Columbus Day commemoration, classes will discuss events surrounding the discovery of America, the founding of colonies such as Jamestown, and the significance of European exploration of the American continents.
Students in first through eighth grade are participating in the Challenger Physical Fitness Program. Testing will start this month in five categories: core strength, speed, endurance, arm strength, and flexibility. Students who achieve qualifying standards in all categories during the official testing in fall or spring will receive a Physical Fitness Award at the end of the year.
Midterm grades for students in first through eighth grade will be available to view in PowerSchool later this month. Kindergarten teachers will conference with parents to convey student progress at midterm.
At the end of each semester, Achievement Reports will be available online for kindergarten through eighth grade parents.
Parents of preschool students will soon receive their child’s Beginning This Year report, and additional progress reports will be sent home in February and June.
Contact the campus at any time if you’d like to speak with your child’s teacher.
Halloween at Challenger is lots of fun—you never know what characters you might run into on campus!
For Dress-Up Days (see dates above), students may wear either costumes or their uniforms to school. Please remember, it is not a free-dress day. Students who wear costumes will remain in the costume all day and should not plan on changing into other clothes. We encourage creative costumes, but remember that your child will have regular school activities that day. Please make sure that costumes do not include costume masks, glitter, toy weapons, or violent characters.
Students can look forward to seeing their teachers in costume, too!
Middle school students are invited to a Halloween event on October 25 (ID, UT) or October 31 (CA, NV, TX).
