Coyote Chronicles

Cloverdale families,


Believe it or not, we are already halfway through the school year! We have seen amazing student growth in the first half of the year and we are excited to continue with that growth over the next few months. As a reminder, students completed their Winter iReady diagnostic test the two weeks before winter break. iReady reports were sent home in your child's backpack on Friday along with a letter explaining the report. Please review those and reach out to your child's teacher with any questions. The newsletter this week is full of very important information, so please take time to read each section.


We hope you have a wonderful week!


Keira Quintero, Principal

Kasey Aponte, Assistant Principal

Howler Hero's!

Each month, staff nominate one student who is modeling our expectations of being respectful, responsible, and safe. This student becomes a Howler Hero for the month and is recognized on morning announcements, with a certificate, and a badge to wear at school. Congratulations to our Howler Hero's for the month of January!

Free Be Seen & Heard Programming Resources for Parents

As previously shared, our school recently hosted the Be Seen and Heard© child sexual abuse prevention program. Students learned about the difference between safe and unsafe touch, the difference between safe and unsafe secrets and the importance of speaking up to trusted heroes in an age-appropriate, safe and engaging environment.


If you wish to continue this valuable conversation about body safety and prevention with your child, you are invited to create a free membership with Be Seen & Heard by completing the signup form linked here. By joining, you will receive a number of free resources.

Cloverdale Families Invited to Speak with Board Member at Listening Post on 1/30

Cloverdale Elementary School will host the CCSD93 Board of Education meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 30, 2025.


Just prior to the meeting, from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m., CCSD93 Board Member Marideth Groves will host a Listening Post. A Listening Post is an opportunity for community members to informally discuss topics of interest directly with a Board Member. If this is of interest to you, please stop in at 6:30 p.m. for some face-to-face time with Board Member Groves.

We started reading Wild Robot last week at school, and students have been really excited and engaged in the story! We want to share a few family resources with you to engage with your student at home. Additionally, there are a few places later in the book that have potentially sensitive content.
