Principal's Message
Greetings, Ericson Families,
As we near the end of another academic year, I wanted to extend my gratitude for continued support throughout this year.
We have two after school meetings next week.
- SSC Meeting on May 21st: 2:30pm
- SGT Meeting on May 22nd: 2:30
As we enter the final stretch of the academic year, I kindly request your assistance in reinforcing the importance of appropriate behaviors among our students. At Ericson, we embrace the 7 Habits from "The Leader in Me" as guiding principles for personal and academic growth. These habits serve as a foundation for developing essential life skills and fostering a positive learning environment:
- Be Proactive: Encourage your child to take initiative and responsibility for their actions.
- Begin with the End in Mind: Help your child set goals and develop a clear vision for their future.
- Put First Things First: Prioritize tasks and manage time effectively to achieve academic success.
- Think Win-Win: Promote cooperation, collaboration, and mutual respect in all interactions.
- Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Encourage active listening and empathy in communication.
- Synergize: Emphasize the importance of teamwork and collective problem-solving.
- Sharpen the Saw: Encourage self-care and continuous personal improvement for overall well-being.
By reinforcing these habits at home, you play a vital role in nurturing your child's character development and academic achievement.
Looking forward to seeing you at the upcoming meetings and celebrating the achievements of our students as we conclude another successful school year.
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Ashton and Ms. Luong
Friendly Reminder / Updates
We kindly ask all families to complete this Leader in Me survey:
https://www.leaderinme.com/s/ericson-elementary/familiesA friendly reminder about the importance of calling in your child's absences when they are unable to attend school. This helps us keep track of their attendance and ensures they don't fall behind on their learning. If you could please make sure to call in at (619) 605-1600 or email Mrs. Crystal Ortiz at cortiz2@sandi.net and let us know whenever your child will be absent, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your attention this matter, and let us know if you have any questions or need assistance.
