Descanso Elementary Friday Focus
Family Edition Vol. 10
Important School Information
October is National Bully Awareness Month: At Descanso we pride ourselves on our kind students and staff. Every time we have a substitute teacher or a visitor on campus, we are complimented on our kind, welcoming environment at Descanso. Thank you parents for instilling that kindness at home. We will dress up during the week and plant red tulip bulbs at the end of the week. If anyone would like to help us plant tulip bulbs, let me know.
Monday: Hat day! Put a lid on bullying
Tuesday: Twin Day! Together is better!
Wednesday: Pajama Day! We dream of a kind world!
Thursday: Boot Day! Let's kick bullying out of our school!
Friday: Spirit Day! Wear red or your Jr. Redhawk gear
Cookie Dough: The kids sold a lot of cookie dough. We won't have the exact totals until everyone pays. All money is due October 21st. If your child earned a gift card, they will be issued upon final payment. We went with a new company this year and found out, too late, that you cannot choose the flavor of your free cookie dough. All the free boxes are chocolate chip. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Family Engagement Survey: We have partnered with Scholastic to conduct a family engagement survey. It went home in the Wednesday folder. Please fill it out, one per family, and return by October 31st. Scholastic will help analyze our strengths and weak areas and help our district improve our family engagement practices. We value your feedback on the survey.
