Ms. Kiuchi's and Mr. Serrato's classes held publishing parties on Friday. The students have been working hard on their writing. They celebrated by reading their stories to each other. I was lucky enough to hear quite a few of them.
Coach Schwitters had Ms. Magidson's fifth grade class learning juggling. Some of the fifth graders were great, especially for their first lesson.
Be Safe is our first Corvallis rule. We show safety in a number of different ways. Apologizing is only a start. When we repair the damage we've done we also do a "clean up".
Question of the week: How do we apologize and make things right?
I know that I ....
I apologize.
What can I do to make it right?
Next time I will...
Will you forgive me?
Next week we'll talk about forgiving and what that means.
Morning Drop Off
Do not park in the driveway in front of the school during drop off. There is a safety issue created when parents wait with their students before 8:15. It forces parents to drive on the left side and drop students off into possibly moving traffic. If you would like to wait with your child until 8:15, park in outside of the driveway. Thank you for helping to keep our students safe.
Absences and Tardies
Every school day is a day of learning for our students. It's important that students are in class on time and ready to learn. Our students line up at 8:33 and are in classrooms at 8:35.
Students entering the building from 8:35-8:45 will be greeted by our staff and given a tardy slip to take to class. After 8:45 students will report to the office to obtain a tardy slip.
If your child will not attend school on a particular day you may email cor.att@slzusd.org or call 510-317-4999. Please leave a voice mail. Our office checks it several times a day.
