Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Kindness Week was a blast! Our students embraced the spirit of kindness through various activities, spreading positivity and support throughout our school. We wrapped up the week with an exciting Kindness Dance on Friday, where students had a great time celebrating their commitment to being kind to one another.
This week, our PBIS expectation focuses on the proper use of technology. We encourage students to be responsible digital citizens by using technology respectfully and appropriately, both in and out of the classroom. Please help reinforce these expectations at home by discussing the importance of using devices for learning, staying safe online, and being mindful of screen time.
Additionally, we want to remind everyone of the importance of consistent school attendance. Being present every day allows students to fully engage in learning, stay connected with their peers, and develop strong habits for future success. While we understand that absences due to illness or emergencies may happen, we encourage families to communicate with the school and support students in making up missed work.
Thank you for your partnership in fostering a positive school environment. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Mrs. Herrera
Principal
