Principal's Message:

Happy Friday!

Attendance is vital for every child every day as lifelong habits are established in the early school years and contribute to student success throughout their school career and beyond. The best way to keep up with your student's curriculum pacing is to ensure they are in class daily and engaging with peers and their teachers.

 

When students are absent, they miss participating in discovery, student discourse, and the friendships made inside and outside the classroom through play and collaborative learning. Knowledge and understanding are more than being able to complete a worksheet; it is connecting new knowledge with concepts known previously to construct new meaning and sharing explanations of what is learned. Our teachers want to celebrate students and peers attending school in person and gaining knowledge.

Please be reminded that our upcoming vacation days for the remainder of the year are the following:

• Monday, March 13, 2023 - Teacher Learning Day - No school for students

• Monday, April 3 - Tuesday, April 11, 2023 - Spring Break - (return on April 12, 2023)

• Monday, May 29, 2023 - Non-School Day/Holiday

• Tuesday, June 6, 2023 - Last Day of School

• Summer Break: June 7, 2023 - August 9, 2023)\

Please try and schedule appointments on non-school days and after school. If your child will be absent for an extended period, please visit our district website or contact the school's front office to set up a short-term independent study contract. We want to ensure that students can keep up with schoolwork as best as possible.

In partnership,

As a Positive Behavior Intervention Support school, the focus is on setting clear expectations, teaching the expectations, and recognizing the expectations when we see them. Classrooms are recognized as whole groups throughout the day and individual students also receive recognition and reinforcement for demonstrating expected behaviors. Our PBIS Leadership Team includes teachers, classified staff, parents, and administrators.  The team meets regularly to plan and review the guidelines we follow as a school and the systems used to support student decision-making.
