Shuey Source October
Respect Yourself, Others, and the Environment
Habit of the Month for October: Habit #2 Begin With the End in Mind
Hello Shuey Familes,
We certainly had a fantastic start of the school year! The first month and a half of school has brought a special meaning and a sense of excitement; it marked a fresh start and exciting possibilities. For our students it means new friends and teachers, new learning, discovery, and growth. Everyone has settled in their new classrooms, new routines, and are engaged in learning.
October is always a fun month at school. We will be diving into all things Fall as we gear up for the busy holiday season. Our PBIS school store, SHARKS-R-Us, will be opening on October 4. Students will use their RESPECT tickets to shop for items. As part of our PBIS Initiative, students earn a RESPECT ticket for demonstrating the school wide Expectations: Respect Yourself, Respect Others, and Respect the Environment. All students participated in the PBIS Launch, which was led by their teacher. School-wide Expectations were reviewed in the classroom, and then teachers took their students on a walking tour of the common areas to reinforce the school wide Expectations.
Leader in Me (LIM) Student Elections were held on Friday, September 29. Our 4th-6th grade candidates did an exceptional job delivering their speeches to their peers. I would like to give a BIG THANK YOU to Ms. Son for being our LIM coach. Our elected Lighthouse team will thrive under her direction, guidance, and leadership.
Red Ribbon Week is October 23-October 27. Please see the flyer posted below. On October 30 from 5:30pm-6:30pm the PTA will be on campus for a costume exchange. Our students and staff are looking forward to our annual Book Character Parade on October 31.
I also want to thank the PTA for hosting the Room Family Tea. It was a great turn out, and we are grateful for the support and look forward to the wonderful celebrations and activities that will take place this year. Together, we will make a positive difference.
For the month of October we are focusing on Habit#2: Begin With the End in Mind. This means that we think about how we would like something to turn out before getting it started. In class students are taught to plan ahead and set goals, and are an important part of their classroom. Please take a look at this Habit #2 Parent Resource so you can reinforce Habit#2 at home.

Shuey is a Platinum Model School
Shuey is recognized, by the the state of California, as a Platinum PBIS Model School for the implementation of Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS). PBIS is an evidence-based, three-tiered prevention framework that integrates data, systems, and practices that impacts student outcomes.
This recognition demonstrates Shuey's commitment to positive outcomes for all students and helps us celebrate all efforts made to enhance school climate, acknowledge appropriate behavior, and use data to identify the needed supports for students and teachers.
Drop-off and Pick-up Safety---Please Be Mindful and Safe
- Drop-off and Pick-up Safety. Please Be Mindful and Safe
- To ensure your child's safety please do not double park (or stop anywhere in the street) or ask your student to cross the parking lot or walk between cars to get to you. THIS IS NOT SAFE.
- PLEASE use the designated crosswalk in front of the school where our crossing guard is on duty. Often, we see families jaywalking, and stopping traffic on Wells Avenue, which is illegal, obstructs motion traffic, and is not safe. Please take a couple of extra minutes to use the crosswalk.
- PLEASE be courteous do not block our neighbors' driveways. Again, please take the extra time to park and walk.
Uniform Policy Reminder
The safety and overall well-being of our students remains a priority for the Rosemead School District, and our staff wants to ensure all students feel empowered to seek help when they need it.
