Parents - May 1

⏰May 2nd is a 1:15 pm release

As we sprint towards the finish line of the school year with just three weeks to go, let's encourage our students to power through by embracing our WISE expectations. A Willing attitude helps us tackle every task with enthusiasm, Innovation sparks creative problem-solving as we wrap things up, Self-control keeps us focused during these busy days, and Empathy strengthens our community as we support each other. Let's make these final weeks strong and positive for everyone!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We want to ensure the safety and well-being of all our students. Please take note of the following important information regarding morning arrival times:

• Cafeteria Breakfast: The cafeteria gate will open at 7:30 AM ONLY for students who are purchasing and eating breakfast.
• Campus Opening: The rest of the school campus will open at 7:45 AM.
• Supervision: From 7:30 AM to 7:45 AM, the cafeteria is the only location on campus with staff supervision.
• Beginning Monday, April 14th: If your child arrives on campus before 7:45 AM, they will be directed to the cafeteria to purchase breakfast. This is necessary to ensure they are supervised until the rest of the campus opens.

We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these arrival times to maintain a safe environment for all students.

Thank you for your understanding.

During our 1:15 pm dismissal time, teachers meet together, and we call these Collaborative Team meetings. Las Brisas is a PLC school (Professional Learning Community). Our 90-minute early release days support planning for student learning, interventions, and targeted support. This time is invaluable to our teachers, and our students, as it gives critical time to our teacher teams to design skill-based instruction and assessments, review student progress data, and design supports and interventions.
