High Expectations:
Every Scholar, Every Day
A Word from Principal Haynes
Greetings Parents,
Another amazing week in the books in the Village!! I am continually grateful for the parental support we have been receiving. We cannot do this work without the connection between home and school. So thank you for all you do to support our work.
We have lots of field trips coming up--please see below for those trips and read important parent information about behavior expectations. Every day I talk with scholars about expectations. I have HIGH expectations for my scholars. I will not accept anything less than the best from them. Not just academically, but in their behavior and in how they carry themselves. They need to be on time for their "jobs" (school) and on their best behavior. They need to have their desks and their classrooms looking the best.
I'm working hard to improve the appearance of Village Elementary so that the school looks its BEST. I need your support in making this a priority as well. This school should look just as good as our fellow schools in Coral Springs, Weston, and Parkland. Let's BELIEVE it. Let's EXPECT it. Let's WANT it.
Our PTA officers have been elected and we are DELIGHTED to have them get started. Please mark your calendars ahead for October 23rd when they are officially sworn in by the Broward PTA. Your support is critical and these ladies are here to help guide you along the way.
Let's make this another great week of High Expectations--Every Scholar--Every Day!!!
Wishing you an AMAZING and BLESSED week!!

Field Trip Expectations
Field trips are an opportunity for us to provide scholars with exposure to many activities and events throughout the county and state. We want our scholars to participate and field trips are open to ALL scholars. That said, I need YOU in partnership with us to explain to scholars expectations regarding behavior. When teachers take scholars off campus, it is imperative that they know and understand how to LISTEN to adults and are responsible to stay with the group. The last thing I want is for a child to get lost and/or hurt on our watch. Make sure that you have conversations with your child about this.
If your child has been struggling with maintaining appropriate behavior on campus, it MAY become necessary for administration to have a conversation with you about whether or not the field trip is appropriate for your child. If you are in doubt, talk with your child's teacher about their behavior. Field trip payments are non-refundable and I don't want anyone to lose money because of their child's poor choices. Let's partner together to make sure our scholars understand the expectations of field trip participation.
