Hi Cushing Families!
As we reach the halfway point of the school year, I wanted to share that semester report cards will be released online through Infinite Campus on Monday, February 3rd.
Our goal is for all students to meet their growth goals and proficiency expectations by the end of the year. At this stage, it’s normal for students to be in the beginning or developing stages as they work toward mastery throughout the year. It can seem confusing and it’s important to note that these descriptors are designed to measure progress toward year-end proficiency and indicate how students are performing relative to end-of-year benchmarks.
If you have any questions about your child’s progress or report card, please don’t hesitate to contact their teacher. We ask that you also note that parent teacher conferences are scheduled for the evening of February 13th and morning of February 14th.

Youth Volleyball League
We are excited to offer a new twist to the Spring Friday Night Volleyball League. We are offering Open (A) & Rec (B) levels of play. This is similar to the levels for Adult Volleyball / Rec Volleyball. The Open (A) Level group is meant to be a competitive play opportunity for boys and girls in 4th through 8th grade. These teams will play more like an Open Gym meaning it is a time to play competitive volleyball with friends. All eight weeks will be competitive play. The Rec (B) Level group is meant to be more developmental and will have coaches working with the athletes to learn volleyball and grow in appreciation of the sport. The first two weeks will be practice where skills are learned / developed. The last six weeks will be for competitive play. All eight weeks will consist of adult and high school players who help coach / teach volleyball. This is open to all boys and girls currently enrolled in 4th - 8th grades. Teams will be made up based on the number of players signed up for each level and each grade. We understand some dates may conflict with current volleyball tournaments and if there are, please mark those in the notes section, but we hope you still sign up. Each participant will receive a t-shirt if signed up by the cut-off date in the registration. The winning teams of each division will receive championship medals.
