Happy Friday!

As we wrap up another wonderful week of learning, I want to remind you that parent-teacher conferences are just around the corner. These conferences are an important opportunity to strengthen the partnership between home and school. Together, we can celebrate your child’s achievements and discuss ways to support their growth. Conferences will be held Jan 29-31 and there will be more information to come from your child’s teacher. We look forward to connecting with each of you to share updates and insights about your child’s progress.

Additionally, I want to highlight the critical role that daily, on-time attendance plays in your child’s success. Every school day is filled with valuable learning experiences that build on one another. When students arrive on time and attend consistently, they not only keep up with lessons but also benefit from routines that build confidence and responsibility. Let's work together to prioritize attendance and ensure our students are ready to learn each day!

Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our school community. Wishing you a restful and enjoyable weekend. See you Monday!

Warm regards,
CJ Smith
Principal

¡Feliz viernes!

Al finalizar otra maravillosa semana de aprendizaje, quiero recordarles que las conferencias de padres y maestros están a la vuelta de la esquina. Estas conferencias son una oportunidad importante para fortalecer la relación entre el hogar y la escuela. Juntos, podemos celebrar los logros de su hijo y analizar formas de apoyar su crecimiento. Las conferencias se llevarán a cabo del 29 al 31 de enero y habrá más información por parte del maestro de su hijo. Esperamos poder comunicarnos con cada uno de ustedes para compartir actualizaciones e información sobre el progreso de su hijo.

Además, quiero destacar el papel fundamental que desempeña la asistencia diaria y puntual en el éxito de su hijo. Cada día escolar está lleno de valiosas experiencias de aprendizaje que se complementan entre sí. Cuando los estudiantes llegan a tiempo y asisten de manera constante, no solo se mantienen al día con las lecciones, sino que también se benefician de rutinas que generan confianza y responsabilidad. ¡Trabajemos juntos para priorizar la asistencia y asegurarnos de que nuestros estudiantes estén listos para aprender todos los días!

Gracias por su continua colaboración y dedicación a nuestra comunidad escolar. Les deseo un fin de semana tranquilo y agradable. ¡Nos vemos el lunes!

Un cordial saludo,

CJ Smith

Our cafeteria can provide birthday boxes at a very low cost. This reduces the impact on classroom learning time (every minute counts), reduces the likelihood of ants in classrooms and creates a fun celebration during lunch times. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tkA7cxvKb4gCb7RDTtE2mxsgSZzxXMui/view?usp=sharing

We are in need of student uniforms! If your kids have outgrown any of their uniforms from first semester and they are still in good used condition, please consider donating to us! You can leave them in the front office. Thank you!

Building Emotional Intelligence with RULER

Have you heard of RULER? It’s a powerful framework that helps us understand, use, and manage our emotions effectively. As a school, We are excited to share how RULER is helping our students develop crucial social and emotional skills.

What is RULER?

RULER is an acronym for:

• Recognizing our emotions
• Understanding our emotions
• Labeling our emotions
• Expressing our emotions
• Regulating our emotions

By teaching students these skills, we empower them to:

• Build stronger relationships
• Improve academic performance
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Make better decisions
• Resolve conflicts peacefully

RULER is being integrated into our school culture through:

• Classroom lessons: Teachers incorporate RULER into their lessons to teach students about emotions and how to manage them.
• Social-emotional learning activities: Students participate in activities that help them practice RULER skills, such as mindfulness exercises, role-playing, and group discussions.
• Positive behavior interventions and supports: RULER is used to teach students positive behavior strategies and to address challenging behavior.

By fostering emotional intelligence, we’re creating a more positive and supportive learning

environment for all students.
