We have several important opportunities coming up for Emmet Belknap families to stay informed, get involved, and support student success—both during the school day and beyond. Below is a look at what’s happening this month and into next.
📅 Family Information Session: CSI Overview
Wednesday, January 14, 2026
9:30–10:30 AM or 5:00–6:00 PM
EB Library
Families are invited to attend a Family Information Session focused on Emmet Belknap’s Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) designation and the work underway to support all students.
During this session, families will learn:
What CSI means for our school
How instruction and student supports are being strengthened
The additional resources available to support student growth
Ways families can partner with the school
Both sessions will cover the same information. Families are encouraged to attend the time that works best for them.
📊 Grades, Growth and Beyond – Part 4
Thursday, February 5, 2026

Grades, Growth and Beyond – Part 4 is a family learning night designed to share student progress, curriculum updates, and tools families can use at home.

An update on the CSI designation
Student data comparisons from Diagnostic #1 to #2, including i-Ready resources for families
Student data comparisons from Benchmark Advance Interim #1 to #2 and at-home literacy supports

✏️ Scholar Hour: After-School Academic Support
We are excited to continue offering Scholar Hour, a small-group afterschool program designed to provide students with additional academic support in a positive, encouraging environment.
Scholar Hour focuses on:
Reinforcing skills in core subject areas
Building confidence and strong learning habits
Supporting students who may benefit from extra time and guidance
Students are invited to participate based on individual needs, and families of invited students will receive direct communication with additional details.
The deadline to confirm attendance to this program is January 21, 2026. If your child was chosen to partipate, you should have received information sent home the week of January 5, 2026. If your child was not selected but you feel they would benefit from Scholar Hour, please reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher, school counselor, or the Main Office to learn more.
