Greetings Aspire Families:

We hope everyone had a great first week of September! I hope everyone is settling into the new school year smoothly. Here are some updates and reminders for this week:

🎭Clubs and Activities: Our extracurricular programs are now in full swing! Please encourage your students to get involved in the various clubs and activities offered at our school. It’s a fantastic way to make new friends and develop new skills.

💻Classroom Routines: By now, students should be familiar with their daily routines and expectations. Please continue to encourage them to stay organized and focused as they adapt to the new school year.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 In Person Students: Anyone exhibiting F.I.R.E. behavior will get a FIRE card to enter to win a prize at the end of each quarter.

🥪🥨🍞🍎🍊🍉🍈 Parents - Please have students bring their lunches with them to school. Lunch drop-offs during the school day is highly discouraged. We understand that there are emergencies but if you can ensure that students come prepared for the day- it minimizes classroom disruptions and eases the work load of staff members trying to get lunches to your students in the building. Thank you for your help.🍕🍟🍔🥓🥯🥞

🚕Transportation: High school students: Please wait inside the school for your ride to arrive. Students are not allowed to wait outside of the building unaccompanied.

Here are a few important reminders to ensure we continue to make the most of our learning opportunities:

🍎In Person Support: We have seen many students take advantage of the in-person support days!! Please encourage your students to continue to come into the Innovation Center to get their one-on-one support each week. High School Students - don't forget to get your punch cards for prize incentives. K-8 students - we will be introducing "Fire Cards" soon - stay tuned!

✅ Attendance Submission: Remember to submit your attendance via My Hours. This helps us keep track of your participation and ensures we can provide the necessary supports for your learning. Your attendance is crucial, so please make sure to submit it on time.

Have a wonderful and restful weekend!

As always, if you questions or concerns, please contact your administrator,

Mrs. Juliet Amara @ Aspire@dvusd.org.
