Happy Sunday Eagles!
We had another successful week at Clyde Erwin Elementary Magnet School! It is hard to believe that the first quarter is over half complete. Midterm reports were sent home with students last week. Teachers are scheduling conferences with all parents during the first quarter, and it is our goal to meet with every parent prior to the beginning of intercession on September 13. Please work with teachers to schedule a time for a face-to-face or phone conference about your child's progress.
Our next PBIS celebration, Fun in the Sun, will be on September 13. Students must have 125 DoJo points (25 points per week), no think sheets, and no office referrals to attend. We regularly review our PBIS expectations with students during morning meetings, over the announcements, and in classrooms. Please review these expectations with your children at home. It is our goal for 100% of students to attend the next PBIS celebration!
Reminder: Tuesday, August 20 is an Early Release Day, and students will be dismissed at 11:55am. Please notify teachers about any changes in transportation.

International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme Information for Parents
The PYP provides an ideal foundation for children to become successful, lifelong learners by developing their:
- social and emotional well-being
- independence, as they take responsibility for their own learning
- international mindedness
- understanding of the world and their ability to function effectively within it
- attitudes and dispositions for learning
- ability to take mindful, appropriate and sustainable student-initiated action
- language skills; all students study an additional language from at least 7 years of age.
Learning in the PYP is underpinned by six transdisciplinary themes, each selected for their relevance to the real world. Young learners explore the commonalities of human experience by investigating these themes through a programme of inquiry.
Who we are
Inquiry into the nature of the self; beliefs and values; person, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; and human relationships.
Where we are in place and time
Inquiry into our orientation in place and time; personal histories; the discoveries and explorations of humankind; and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations.
How we express ourselves
Inquiry into the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values.
How the world works
Inquiry into the natural world and its laws, the interaction between the natural world and human societies; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment.
How we organize ourselves
Inquiry into the interconnectedness of human-made systems and communities; the structure and function of organizations; and their impact on humankind and the environment.
Sharing the planet
Inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and other living things; access to equal opportunities; and peace and conflict resolution.
