Greeting families,

This week's newsletter is again full of information.

This past week, you should have received a district parent survey for you to fill out. This survey is another way for the district to open communication channels with all our families, but it also impacts the school's accountability. It is the school's goal to have the highest number of positive responses in the district, so please, keep our school informed about what we can do to get an agreed or strongly agreed answer in that survey. I appreciate real-time feedback as the means to pivot towards excellence quickly.

Our PTO is collecting donations, and our goal is to have 100% membership. This committee's goals are centered around building a strong sense of community while supporting our staff and students. Please read more about ways you can volunteer for their activities. We still need three more cars to participate in the trunk or treat, so please let us know if you can help make this event a success. If you cannot, there is another form in the PTO section to express your interest in helping with other activities.

We need a volunteers to help us with Face Painting and/or Hanna Designs.

Attendance also plays an essential role in our school's accountability. I kindly ask you to prioritize school over other events if possible. Good attendance is tight to high academic success. I encourage you to schedule doctor appointments in the afternoons. Our attendance rate is 93% this quarter, and our goal is to grow to 97%. Thanks for your help with this matter.

Last, please complete the photo release form if you have not done it yet, as it will help us expedite our school promotion efforts.

I hope you all had a great weekend, and I look forward to seeing you bright and early on Monday morning.

If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate and ask.

Thanks for choosing us!

Kind Regards,

Roberto Gonzalez

I met with the Mad Science admin team on Friday afternoon and relayed all feedback.

The topics we discussed were:

• Customer Service.
• Students pick up safety.
• Amount of screen time.
• Curriculum
• Communication.
• Out door experiences

They agreed to work on an action plan. They also agreed to communicate with you by the end of the day on Monday. I requested to be included in the communication.

I am expecting the full implementation of the changes by the week of October 3rd, 2022.

Thanks for your feedback.

We are excited to welcome you to tour our campus. The next rounds of tours will be the first week of October.

We will post the link to sign up in the following newsletter.

I have been working with the bond office and the general contractor to finalize this project. As per your feedback, I have requested the following:

• Work orders to correct the Safety inspection findings have been submitted.

Please, email me if you need more details or want to share other suggestions.

Thanks for your patience as I ensure the students can safely play outside.

By mid week, we will take students to the playground area during recess for games as suggested by SBDM.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, a time for individuals and organizations to learn about attendance issues, absenteeism, and the effects attendance can have on academic performance and success.

School attendance is essential to academic success, but too often students, parents, and schools don’t realize how quickly absences, excused or unexcused, can add up to academic trouble. Chronic absence— missing just 18 days per school year— can lead to third graders being unable to master reading, sixth graders failing courses, and ninth-graders dropping out of high school.

The Parent Portal account allows you to view student grades and attendance information. The below flyers provide the steps to set up your account. Please contact our CRC Ms. Hernandez if you have any questions about your child's ID number or on how to get connected.
