Colt Weekly Update
Rise to the TOP!
Colt Parents,
Thank you for a great week of learning. It is of upmost importance for your child to be logging in to complete assignments. Attendance is mandatory and is necessary for student success. We are two weeks away from our Thanksgiving break. Let's aim at getting 100% these next two weeks.
We will still be checking attendance for promotion and retention. Attendance is mandatory and we need students to participate in their classes. At this point, we are still taking the state assessments so we want to prepare our students for success.
I hope you were able to attend our Virtual Parent meetings. If you have a specific concern, please email the teacher and request an individual conference. Parent-teacher communication is necessary for your student's success.
Our fundraiser is in full swing. As of today, we only had 11 Colts participating. We really need your help. The top selling boy and girl from our school will be receiving a $50 Visa gift card. The fundraising company will also be giving out the following prizes.
1st-$100
2nd-$75
3rd-$25
Additionally, students who sell $50 worth of popcorn or more will receive a free bag of popcorn! Thank you for all your support!
Kindly,
Leticia Terrazas

ACE:
First ACE parent night will take place on November 12, 5:30-6:30. Parents will be given a link for TEAMS and they will also be notified via Class Dojo.
A second parent meeting will take place on December 10th. Parents, please continue to remind your children who form part of ACE to log in after class. We are trying our best to continue with this great program, and we need your support. New learning kits will be handed out in November to all parents who attend the parent night. Please contact Mrs. Villegas if you have any questions or concerns. She is doing an awesome job and always goes beyond for our COLTS!
Friday Schedule
ATTENTION 8TH GRADE COLTS
It is extremely important that you log in to your classes daily as important information will be shared with you regarding high school. We want to make sure that you do not miss out on this information because there will be deadlines and specific instructions given for the process of applying to the different academies, signing up for your high school endorsements, registering for high school, and much, much more.
I look forward to seeing you on Teams and can't wait to share what's coming your way!
