The Paloma Elementary Spelling Bee winners, Kekeli Ntony and Mica Servino, represented our school at the district spelling bee on Wednesday, January 15th at Day Middle School. We are so proud of them and grateful to Mrs. Polhill for serving as a our school's spelling bee coordinator!

This week, two students cashed in their Panther Paws for Principal's Privileges! Jaxon Pottorff earned 100 Panther Paws to be Principal of the Day! He even assisted with our expectation assembly for kindergarten students. Stella Hackney earned 25 Panther Paws for Games with the Principals! Teachers and staff award Panther Paws to students who are meeting our three school expectations to be safe, responsible, and respectful! Keep up the good work, Panthers!

We had our Winter Wonderland party this week for those students who completed 200 minutes of reading over winter break. They enjoyed fun activities, and games and there was even snow! Way to go Panthers!

• Submission Deadline: The window opened on Monday, October 14, 2024, and will remain open until January 31, 2025.
  
• Continuing Transfers: If your child is already on an approved transfer and will continue to attend the same school during the 2025/2026 school year, there's no need to submit a new transfer request. New requests are only required if you wish to change schools.
• New Transfers: If you would like your child to attend a school other than your school of residence based on your current address, please be sure to submit a transfer request during the Open Enrollment Transfer Window.
• Transitioning to Middle and/or High School: The transition from elementary to middle school and/or from middle school to high school is not based on a previous/current school of attendance; it is solely based on primary residence address. If you plan on having your child attend a middle school or high school other than your school of residence, be sure to submit a transfer request prior to January 31, 2025.
• New to/or not currently attending a TVUSD School: You may submit a transfer request during the Open Enrollment Window for the 2025/2026 school year even if your child is not currently enrolled in a TVUSD school. If your child is new to TVUSD during the 2025/2026 school year, additional eligibility information must be submitted (after the first semester report card).
• Equal Consideration: All timely submissions received during the Open Enrollment Transfer Window will be given equal consideration. Consideration will be based on space availability at the requested school and meeting the District’s transfer eligibility criteria.
• We anticipate notifying parents/guardians of the transfer decision, either by email or by mail, using the addresses provided on the application, no later than May 2025.

The Arts at RCOE is pleased to announce that submissions are now open for our annual Pre-K through 8th grade competition in solo and ensemble dance. We look forward to viewing this year's submissions and recognizing student dancers in Riverside County!

For the month of January, students will be learning about the Thriver trait, Perseverance, from Michele Borba's book Thrivers.

How to teach perseverance at home....

To teach perseverance to kids, you can: model perseverance yourself, set realistic goals, break down large tasks into smaller steps, praise their effort rather than just the outcome, encourage a growth mindset, provide practice opportunities, and share stories of your own experiences overcoming challenges; essentially, showing them that it's okay to make mistakes and that persistence leads to success.

This week, ask your child what they learned about Perseverance at school.

All students are able to receive a free breakfast and hot lunch, please make sure your child knows whether they have brought a lunch or if they need to get one from our cafeteria. Breakfast is served at recess. Click on the link below to view both the breakfast and lunch menus.

When using the loop to pick up or drop off your child by car, PLEASE.....

• Only park in appropriate areas. The pick up loop can be a very busy place, especially on modified days. However, it is important to remember to only park in designated parking spaces. Please do not park along curbs that are painted red or in handicap spots unless you have a handicap placard. If there is not parking available when you arrive, you will need to park on the street and walk to meet your child or join the pick up loop. If you are parked in these areas, you will be asked to move.
• Always use the crosswalks.
• Do not use the parking lot as an additional pick-up line. This blocks access to parking spaces, including handicap spots. If there is not an open parking spot, please pull through and go around again to look for an opening or join the loop pick up line.
• Stay in your car when using the loop. If your child needs assistance entering or exiting the car, please park in the lot and walk them to their gate.
• Move all the way forward as directed by the school staff.
• In the morning, do not wait until your child reaches the gate to pull away. Staying in the loop and watching your child walk in through the gate, slows the flow of traffic. If you would like to watch your child enter the gate, please park your car and walk your child.
• At dismissal, do not stop in the loop and wait for your child to come your direction, instead pull up when there is space to pull forward. Pull all the way forward and continue to move forward with the traffic. Your child will walk down towards you.
