**Happy Friday!**
A heartfelt thank you to all the 1st Grade parents and guardians who joined us for Bring Your Parent to School. It was such a joy to see you working alongside your students and experiencing first grade together.
We also extend our gratitude to the families who attended our Fall Picnic. What a beautiful day it was! I hope you had the opportunity to connect with our PTO, community partners, and the food vendors. A special thank you goes to our incredible PTO for coordinating this event and to our maintenance team for their hard work with set-up and take-down, making it all possible.
Next week, weβre excited to kick off HERO Week! HERO stands for *Help, Encourage, and Respect Others*. The week will focus on building a stronger school community that values and includes everyone. Each day will feature a Spirit Day, and on Thursday evening, weβll host Family HERO Night from 4:30-6:00 PM in our cafeteria and gym (moved indoors due to early evening darkness).
Additionally, the school will be hosting a Book Fair next week! Students will have the chance to shop during their scheduled library time, and it will also be open every morning from 7:15-8:00 AM for parents to shop with their children.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Building Emotional Intelligence with RULER
Have you heard of RULER? Itβs 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, weβre creating a more positive and supportive learning
environment for all students.
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
