For the next two weeks we are testing in some classes. The test are intended to provide us with baseline data that will be used in identifying student needs and creating action plans in order to move students forward.

Please help us by...

• encouraging your student to try his/her best
• making sure students get a goodnight sleep, are not absent and are on time daily

Below is a table detailing the test during the week of August 21st.

We would like to invite all families to join us next week for our Back To School Night.

Please note that uniform checks are conducted daily and every student is expected to abide by the uniform policy.

Student wearing slides, slippers, sandals or any shoe deemed a safety hazard will remain in the main office until parent is able to bring them a change of shoes.

Students who are not in uniform will…

• Lose PBIS points

• Serve nutrition and lunch detention that day

• Receive a parent phone call, asking to be brought a change of clothes

If you need to purchase additional uniforms, reach out to Faith Uniforms at (323)432-2388 or contact the main office at (213) 348-6850 - as we do have a few extra uniforms.

Food cannot be delivered to students during the school day by food delivery establishments, including but not limited to Uber Eats, Door Dash or GrubHub. Please remember that only parents and immediate family members in the computer system can deliver food to you during the school day. This is to better ensure the security of the school as well as to minimize disruptions to the school day. Food delivered to students by outside delivery companies will be confiscated and given to students at the end of the day, as they head home. If a student opens an outside door to allow an outside food delivery, or accepts food through the gate, they will face disciplinary consequences as that creates a security risk.

Consequences for ordering food will include...

• 1 week of nutrition and lunch detention
• A parent conference
• Confiscation of the food order, which will only be provided to the students guardian after school

If you have any questions or concerns - please feel free to contact the office directly.

Please note that once picture day comes and goes (Friday, August 18) - all students will be required to have their school ID card in order to ride the bus. The ID cards will be scanned daily, allowing us to easily track what student was in what bus, in case that information is needed.

Lastly, remind your student that riding the school bus is a privilege that is contingent upon the continuous observance of bus rules and established regulations.

The expectation is that students...

• Remain seated the entire time that the bus is in motion
• Noice level should be at a minimum - since it is important for them to hear any instructions that the bus driver sees fit to deliver; Thus no speakers are allowed on the bus
• Nothing should be thrown in or out of the bus
• There is no eating on the bus
• Destroying property (including tagging) is not only against the law but agains the bus rules

Students unable to observe these expectations may loose the privilege to ride the bus.

Have a question or concern? Feel free to contact the main office at (213) 348-6850, we would love to help out.

If you would like to reach out to a teacher directly - all staff emails can be found on our school website at https://russellwestbrookwhynoths.org/school-staff/

If a student is having tech issues please email jhonathanv@lapromisefund.org, and ask for assistance. The office cannot provide support, if Mr. Jhonathan are not on site.
