The MORE Monthly - October
October 2024
Noticias from Mr. Macias 🎤
Yes, Fall Break is here! We are hopeful that summer’s heat grip begins to loosen and fully welcome cooler Fall weather! We hope that our students take this opportunity to sleep in for the week and recharge and reengage for the next quarter.
As we look forward to October end of Quarter 1, it’s also a good time to look back and reflect of what we accomplished this past quarter and what we want to do in Quarter 2. Many of our students had great strides both academically and in attendance this past quarter and we thank for the support that parents have provided. We also hope that you post those certificates proudly on the refrigerator!
We truly believe that it will always take a Village to help our students succeed. Please, please, please continue to reiterate the importance of attending school every day and on time. We understand that life happens and will always throw those surprises and thank you for communicating any struggles or barriers that you are experiencing.
When we return from Fall Break, we return to a opportunity to review our benchmark data and see what adjustments we need to do to prepare our students for testing in the Spring. We truly want for our students to have an opportunity for the next stage in their educational journey and that includes college if they wish that. For our school, benchmark scores provide us with very valuable information on where our students currently are and where we want to go.
Sincerely and proud principal,
Mr. Macias

Community Building 🤝
We have been having community building sessions with students. The last two sessions have been a great time of community building. Students have focused on their why to be in school and to graduate with Ms Perry. Ms. Jackson and community partners from Goodwill have worked on social awareness and violence prevention. Ms. Billings has done activities focused around relationship building and responsible decision making.
