Cameron Ranch Falcon Connection
November 2023
Greetings Falcon Community,
It's time to gear up for family-teacher conferences the week of November 13-17, 2023 with a 12:05 dismissal all week. This is the perfect time to connect with your child's teacher to learn about first trimester successes and how you can support learning at home. We value this time to build understanding and partner with families. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you still need to schedule your conference.
The Families First Friday events during October and November brought families to campus and strengthened our connection by providing insight into our morning routines and time to briefly gather in the library to learn about upcoming monthly events. Please mark you calendars for our next families first event on Friday, December 1st 8:40a.m.
During the months of November and December, our school-wide focus of Aim High and Achieve will be highlighted across campus. The leadership students introduced the aim high theme during our community assembly last week by sharing examples with the whole school.
November also brings additional opportunities for students to discover more about their place in the world by exploring our hands-on library learning lab materials (image below), on civics and government.
The after school soccer club will have its final fall practice on Wednesday 11/15.
Literacy Night on 10/19 was a lot of fun and the look on students' faces when selecting books was a joy to see. Thank you to all who joined us!
***HIGHLIGHT ***
Volunteers needed to help in our school book fair during the week of November 27-December 1. Please email Kristen Sroay to volunteer: kristen.sroay@sanjuan.edu
For those who were not able to join our 25th anniversary of the Garden of Learning, it was a well attended event with a blend of honoring the past and building towards the future. To honor the incredible work put forth by our volunteer garden docent, Evelyn Margolin, we have officially named this space as the Margolin's Garden of Learning. See image below.
Finally, trimester 1 report cards will be available to view through the parent portal on November 20, 2023. View directions below on how to access the portal or call the school office for support.
Warmly,
Principal Aliceon Sloss
