1/9/22-1/15/22

 


We had a wonderful first week back.  It was heartwarming to see all of the students and their smiles and to hear their happy voices.  It was abundantly clear that everyone was so excited to be back together.  The teachers spent time in community-building circles to bring students back together in a fun and loving way.  They gave students opportunities to reconnect with their peers and to share the winter break experiences.  They also spent time reviewing our PBIS rules and expectations and refocusing students on working together and learning. Bringing students back to school and into our safe spaces is such a rewarding experience.  It is my hope that you and your family enjoyed your winter break. 



Progress Reports come out Friday 1/14

Please read the communication from your child's teacher about progress reports so you know what to expect. If you have questions, contact your child's teacher.

January’s Attribute: Open-minded

An OPEN MINDED student knows that all people are different.  They listen to the points of view of others and consider many possibilities before making a decision.  They celebrate the differences in everyone. 

How can families help at home?

  • Expose your child to different festivals, celebrations and traditions.

  • Encourage your child to value others’ opinions. 

  • Teach them about your family culture.
