School-Wide Monthly Celebrations
To cultivate a positive school environment and promote student achievement, we will continue to implement a comprehensive behavior and reward system.
Paws: Staff will award Paws to students who demonstrate exceptional behavior.
Monthly Store Cart: A store cart will be available for students to redeem their Paws for various trinket items.
Cougar Rallies: Monthly assemblies will celebrate exemplary whole-class behavior, attendance, and overall school achievements. These rallies will recognize classrooms for their contributions to our school community. Selected classrooms will receive a trophy to display for the month.
Monthly Behavior Celebrations: Celebrations will be organized based on goals set by the school's Climate & Culture Team. If the school meets these behavioral targets, students will be rewarded with a special celebration, ideas generated by 5th-grade students.
Birthday Celebrations
As a reminder, according to our district policy, birthday treats must be non-food items. If you wish to celebrate your child's birthday, and are in need of ideas, you can explore the potential non-food celebration ideas available on the district website. Visit Birthday Celebration Ideas (English) (Spanish) for more information. We understand your desire to make your child's birthday extra special, but the front office staff is unable to accept food items for classroom distribution due to district policy restrictions. Please remind your child to visit the Principal for a birthday pencil and sticker!
News From Nurse Franco
All medication must be delivered directly to our school nurse. Front office staff and administrators are no longer authorized to handle medications. The medication forms require that a parent or guardian personally deliver the medication to the nurse, which is a critical component of our district medication protocol. The nurse will verify the student's name, medication name, dosage, expiration dates, and quantity with the parent or guardian. This process ensures accuracy and helps prevent medication errors within the school environment. If you need to drop off medication, please coordinate a time with the nurse to ensure they are present in the building. We want to avoid unnecessary trips to school when the nurse is unavailable.
