New Month, New CORE Value: Resilient

Uniqueness is our core value for the month of February!

"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is you-er than you!"-Dr. Suess

Thank you for being you!

Why is this CORE value important for students?

Teaching elementary school students about their uniqueness is important because it helps them develop a positive self-image, fosters inclusivity in the classroom, promotes critical thinking by exposing them to diverse perspectives, and prepares them to navigate a diverse world by celebrating individual differences and appreciating the contributions of others, ultimately leading to a more accepting and empathetic society.

#Growth

Take some time to review how your child is currently progressing in class. Do you have have concerns about your child's academics? Have you reached out to the teacher? How can we help you to help your child grow?

If you have any concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher to get your questions answered and the support you need.

#Opportunity

We are going on a trip and riding in a charter bus!

First copy of the permission slip was sent home last Thurdsay or Friday. Second copy of permission slips will be sent home tomorrow. There is a very short turnaround time for this trip. I have started filling charter bus number one!

Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity for your child to attend. There is no cost to students. K-2nd students must have a guardian attend and the cost for the adult is only $20.00.
