We are here to do good things for our students, our coworkers, and our community.
We represent qualities such as love, hope, kindness, respect, and responsibility.
Our culture mirrors those attributes. Let’s continue to make our school the best place to work and learn where everyone is inspired to be the best they can be. What we do, we do well.
Let’s keep the courage to shape a bright future for our students.
ATTENTION PEDESTRIANS
Recently, parents are walking across the straight away heading towards our traffic light or the straight away along the car loop line and continue to use the front parking lot for pedestrian needs. These actions impede traffic flow and our bus loop area.
Do not use the front parking lot if you are a pedestrian walking your child in. Please use only the marked and supported cross walk from our side lot.
PLEASE model safe pedestrian skills for our children and stop crossing at unmarked or unsupported areas. We rely on our community to help keep all of us safe. I understand it takes patience and could be inconvenient; however, seeing all of our students arrive safely is a blessing each day.
The car loop will move quickly with less foot traffic in the parking lot and utilizing our full length of safe sidewalk as routes to entry points.
Please have students ready to exit on the right side of the vehicle and follow the sidewalk to their entry.
Positivity Project
Dear Families,
Next week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Love of Learning. Love of learning means you master new topics on your own or in school.
Those with a love of learning are intrinsically motivated and engaged in a topic regardless of achieving an external standard. They enjoy learning simply for the sake of learning. They don’t need a prize of a high grade as a reward. Their reward is the process of doing the work and improving.
Developing a love of learning is highly beneficial for an individual. It means that they are intrinsically motivated to deepen their existing skills and abilities, or learn something completely new. Since intrinsically motivated action is correlated with positive emotions, those who act on their love of learning may also have enhanced mental and physical health. Additionally, individuals who love learning have the desire and ability to overcome challenges, due to a sense of autonomy and control over their environment.
To practice and encourage the character strength of love of learning with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
Have a wonderful week!
March is National Reading Month, and to celebrate, each student participating in March will be taking part in two special reading programs. Each student who completes the monthly goal of reading 20 minutes outside of school on at least 25 days in March will earn a free ticket to a baseball game at Jimmy John’s field through the 2022 USPBL Reading Program and a free bundtlet through the Nothing Bundt Cakes “Books and Bundts” reading program.
We hope you enjoy a month full of great stories!
