November 2023 Parent Newsletter
Boletín para padres de noviembre de 2023
Thank you
A huge thank you to all our school staff and parents who volunteered their time for our Fall Fiesta. It was a great time and also a great fundraiser for our school. Thank you to all who came out to support our PTA.
School Letter grades
Arizona released this year's school letter grades, based on our April 2023 state assessment results. We are proud and excited to share that we remain a "B". This accomplishment is a reflection of the hard work of our teachers, staff, and students. Thank you, parents, for your part in our success- making sure students get to school on time each day, attending parent teacher conferences, regular communication with your child's teacher, and attending our curriculum nights.
Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Thank you to all of our PTA members who helped ensure that our Fall Fiesta was successful and fun for all. Please join us for our next PTA meeting, on November 28th at 3:00pm. We will be planning for our Noche De Gala events and would appreciate parent input and suggestions. All of our classes will be performing at our Noche De Gala event, which is scheduled for December 19th at 5:30pm.
Garden Work Day
Please join us on Saturday, November 4th, from 8:30-10:30 am for our Garden Work Day. We need your help to get our garden beds and garden area ready for students to begin planting in their garden beds. Students are invited with their parents to come help; All tools, snacks, and drinks will be provided. All students who attend will receive a 20 Point Coyote Howl.
Turkey Trot
We would like to extend a huge Thank You to the South Tucson Lions Club for their ongoing support of our annual Turkey Trot event. They generously donate all the turkeys and pies for race prizes. We will be having 14 student races that day, and students must submit a signed parent permission form to participate. Each grade level will have two races, one for boys and one for girls, including our pre-school students. Please join us that morning to cheer on all of our runners, at 9:00am on Wednesday, November 22nd.
Counselor Corner
Greetings families! Let me begin by saying how grateful I am to be a part of the Mission View family and to be a part of your student's journey. As students enter the month of November, we will be exploring the character trait of empathy. Students will also continue to expand their emotional vocabulary by spending time before lessons exploring feeling words to describe their mood and various mindfulness strategies. This month we will also be learning about circle of control and healthy boundaries. Circle of control is a visual representation for students to understand things people can and cannot control. This can help our students have a more positive mindset when they are focused on things they can control.
