Message from the Principal
Wildcat Families,
I kick off our message this week with a big thank you for supporting our schools with the passage of the Local Option Levy in the election this past week. We sincerely appreciate your overwhelming support and investment in our schools.
In other news, we’re looking forward to working with our students in Morning Meeting over the next couple of weeks on a lesson series that helps students work to understand the impact of words and actions on others in terms of the imprints that they leave behind on others. As we strive to make sure that CFT is a place where everyone feels safe and valued, we’ll work through these lessons to identify specific examples and experiences that have left imprints on us, both positive and negative. We’ll ask students to explore who they are and work to plan and build ways to celebrate the unique characteristics that make up our identities. Ultimately, each class will build artifacts that identify actions we can take at school to create positive imprints on others.
One last note: please be on the lookout for student feedback forms with some quick information regarding your child’s academic progress to date. These will be sent via ParentSquare in the coming days. Please contact us in the main office if you need support in signing up for ParentSquare.
Have a great holiday weekend!
Sincerely,
Tim, Principal
Mensaje del Director
Comienzo nuestro mensaje de esta semana con un gran agradecimiento por apoyar a nuestras escuelas con la aprobación del Impuesto de Opción Local en las elecciones de la semana pasada. Apreciamos sinceramente su abrumador apoyo e inversión en nuestras escuelas.
En otras noticias, esperamos trabajar con nuestros estudiantes en las reuniones de la mañana durante las próximas semanas en una serie de lecciones que ayude a los estudiantes a trabajar para comprender el impacto de las palabras y acciones en los demás en términos de las huellas que dejan atrás en otros. Mientras nos esforzamos por asegurarnos de que CFT sea un lugar donde todos se sientan seguros y valorados, trabajaremos en estas lecciones para identificar ejemplos y experiencias específicas que hayan dejado huellas en nosotros, tanto positivas como negativas. Les pediremos a los estudiantes que exploren quiénes son y trabajen para planificar y crear formas de celebrar las características únicas que conforman nuestras identidades. En última instancia, cada clase construirá artefactos que identifiquen acciones que podemos realizar en la escuela para dejar huellas positivas en los demás.
Una última nota: esté atento a los formularios de comentarios de los estudiantes con información rápida sobre el progreso académico de su hijo hasta la fecha. Estos se enviarán a través de ParentSquare en los próximos días. Comuníquese con nosotros en la oficina si necesita ayuda para registrarse en ParentSquare.
¡Que tengas un excelente fin de semana festivo!
Atentamente,
Tim, Director
