Welcome to the Second Month of School
As we enter the second month of the school year, we’re excited to continue this journey with you! The first few weeks have flown by, and it’s been wonderful to see how our students are settling into their routines and engaging with their learning.
Character Strong Trait Of The Month "Responsibility"
This month we are talking about Responsibility. One way to define Responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.” Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Positive and responsible actions can help people and irresponsible actions can hurt others. Responsibility is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Strong. Throughout the school, students will be developing skills like focusing, organizing, and goal-setting.

The Power of Punctuality: How Attendance Sets the Stage for Success
As we start the new school year, regular attendance plays a key role in your child’s success. Here’s why:
- Consistency Builds Confidence: Regular attendance helps your child feel more secure and capable in their learning environment.
- Strong Foundations: Missing school means missing essential lessons that build on previous knowledge.
- Future Readiness: Good attendance habits now help prepare your child for future responsibilities.
Let’s work together to make every day count!

OMA and Band News
In OMA class, Mr. Dominic is working with the primary grades on music vocabulary, identifying different sounds in music, singing and keeping a steady beat together. We have a variety of different songs, games, and activities that make this fun for everyone. Our 3rd graders are learning how to read music notes to help them prepare for playing recorders, which we will start in a few weeks. 5th graders are working hard in band and orchestra learning how to work as a team, choosing and becoming acquainted with the new instruments that they will be playing. This is going to be a wonderful year making music together!
