❤️🖤 Building Belonging at Strack! 🖤❤️This year, we’re focused on making sure EVERY Cougar feels connected and knows they belong with us here at Strack! One way we’re doing that is through our new Strack House System! Our four houses each represent one of our RISE core values: Resilience, Integrity, Self-Discipline, and Empathy. First up… STAFF SORTING! And WOW did we have some fun! The House competition has officially begun! 🎉
Now we’re looking for community sponsors to help provide a House T-shirt for every student. If you or someone you know would like to help, please reach out!
Four Houses. One Cougar Family. You Belong Here. ❤️🐾
🎤 And the survey says… Strack teachers and staff are READY! This year, we took professional development to the next level with a GAME SHOW theme, and our Strack staff was HERE. FOR. IT!!! From friendly competition and lots of laughs to learning, collaborating, and preparing for an incredible year, our Cougar staff brought the ENERGY all week long! One thing is certain… when it comes to our students and the year ahead:
❤️ EXCELLENCE IS OUR FINAL ANSWER! ❤️

Hi Strack Families!
The start of a new school year is almost here, and we are so excited to welcome our Cougars back! Our first day of school is Wednesday, August 12, but before we officially kick off the year, we hope you’ll join us for Cougar Night on Tuesday, August 11, from 4:30–6:00 PM. Students and families will have a chance to pick up schedules, walk the building, and meet their teachers before the school year begins. If you are new to Strack, we will also have two quick information sessions just for you! Student chromebooks will not be distributed until the second week of school. However, families can go ahead and pay the Chromebook fee through SchoolCash now. We can’t wait to see our returning families and welcome all of our new Cougars to Strack!

❤️ 🐾 Today we had so much fun welcoming our newest Cougars teachers to the Strack Intermediate family! These new teachers spent the day learning about Strack, preparing for an incredible school year, and wrapped it all up with an ice cream social alongside many of our returning staff members who will be mentoring and supporting our new teachers along way. We are very excited to see the amazing year ahead with these incredible educators!🐾❤️🍦

🐾 🥁 We are so proud of our Strack Cougars who have been working hard this week at percussion camp alongside our friends from Schindewolf! Affectionately known as SchindeStrack, this camp has been such a great opportunity for students from both campuses to learn, grow, and make music together. It’s been so neat to see these talented musicians building friendships, encouraging one another, and playing side by side. We can’t wait to see all of their hard work shine this year. Great job, Cougars! 🥁🐾
