Parent Involvement

Dear Hohokam Families,
Mr. Caudle was nice enough to allow me to post a quick blog entry on the Hohokam Blog….how fun is that?
Half days come with mixed emotions as I often find myself wishing I could continue teaching instead of going to a meeting. Today though, was such a pleasant surprise! What is it that we do during ½ days you ask…well, today, we had a chance to share some wonderful things Hohokam created and celebrate the ideas of other schools in our complex.
It was a win –win situation really, we exchanged ideas with other schools in our complex on how to up our parent involvement, a whole complex of schools working toward one common goal….love it!
I was so interested to see what other schools are doing to involve the whole family in education, but I was even more proud to be part of Hohokam. As I listed all sorts of events we host, Come Read with Me Night, The Carnival, Technology Tune Up, Movie Nights, and Math Night, it reminded me that I work with such a committed group of people! Now, if we could just get a few more parents involved!!!!!
Wondering what you can attend in the near future? Math Night…it’ll be fun! Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 3.
Hope to see you at math night,
Mrs. Westphal

Parent Survey

Dear Hohokam Family,

Each year it is mandated that school districts across Arizona send out a parent survey rating the quality of their school/district. The feedback that you provide is valued and used to make improvement decisions and highlight positive aspects of each school.

Please take the time to complete the survey online at http://susd.hohokam.schoolfusion.us/. We will also be sending home a hard copy of the survey on Friday, January 7th. If you choose to fill those out, please return them to your child's teacher.

Once again, we value your opinion and partnership. Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.

Mr. Caudle
