Happy New Year and Welcome Back!
I certainly hope you had a wonderful, restful and healthy break, celebrating with family and friends. I know it was a much needed break and I am excited to begin the second semester to see the incredible growth of Dos Rios.
We are thrilled to have two new teachers join our staff for the remainder of the year. Please welcome to our staff, Mrs. Vicky Peacock and Mr. Justin Meirer.
Special Schedule Changes: With the addition of a 6th Grade Classroom, our Specials Schedules have changed slightly for Quarter 3. Taking into consideration some of the concerns that have been brought up as well, I hope these changes will address them.
- 5th and 6th Grades have been split to different times
- 5th Grade will take Kindergarten's special time
- Kindergarten Specials will be at 11:00
- Special Teachers will no longer have lunch duty
We are still in search of a 7th/8th Grade Writing teacher. If we are not successful in finding a qualified teacher for the position, the class might be split and Middle School schedules will be adjusted.
Rising Rockets Club: Thank you to all the staff who followed through on reaching out to your focused 5 Rising Rockets. Wednesday evening will be an introduction/induction meeting for parents and students. Grades 3-8 Teachers, Special Teachers, Interventionists, and Resource Teachers should attend to meet with your parents and share some strategies that you and they can begin to move their Rising Rocket to the next level. This is a 301 event.
Please make sure you call, email or Dojo your Rising Rocket parents to invite them to Wednesday's meeting.
