Dear Olmito Elementary Families,
We are excited to share important updates and reminders as we continue our journey through the spring semester. Thank you for your ongoing support in ensuring our students’ success. Please take note of the following:
📌 TELPAS Testing: February 17-28
Emergent Bilingual and Parental Denial students in 2nd-5th grades will participate in the TELPAS assessment during this time. Please ensure that your child is present, well-rested, and ready to do their best. Refer to the letter sent by Mrs. Rodriguez for further details.
🥞🍳 February Attendance Challenge Continues – Breakfast Incentive 🥓🍳
We are halfway through February, and second grade is currently in the lead! However, with nine days left, it’s still anyone’s game. The grade level with the most hearts earned by the end of the month will win a catered breakfast from the Child Nutrition Department. Let’s keep attendance strong—Attendance = Growth!
❤️ "Love To Be On Time" – No Tardies/Perfect Attendance Challenge
We are thrilled to recognize the many students who were present and on time from February 10-14! These students will receive a special treat on Monday during their lunch period. Keep up the great work!
🎉 "Dress Down Day" Attendance Challenge
Our students are excited about the "Dress Down Day" attendance pass challenge! This first round runs from February 12 through March 6. Students with perfect attendance during this period will be recognized at lunch on March 6, receive a special bracelet, and enjoy a dress-down day on Friday, March 7!
