Weekly Howler: Week of February 16, 2026

Campus Updates & Reminders:

We are in for another wet week ahead! Please make sure your child is dressed for the elements. We also recommend having a spare set of clothes, all the way down to socks, in their backpack in case they need to change out of wet gear.

Many families will be celebrating the beginning of Ramadan next week. If your child is fasting and needs an alternative place to gather during the lunch breaks, please let your teacher know and we will have that arranged.

Social Justice Corner:

Each month, students learn a new word to add to our social justice ABCs list. This month’s word is “solidarity.”

  • Solidarity- unity based on a share support of a group

This month, one challenge students can choose to engage with is brainstorming ways to show solidarity with people at school or the community.
