Crimson Point Elementary School
October Parent Update
And we are OFF!!!
The start of the school year is always such a whirlwind!! We have made it through the first month and all of our classroom expectations and routines are in place. The dust has finally settled.
Goal Setting - Every fall, we have students take a math and a reading assessment. I encourage you to speak with your child about their own goals this year. Most of our students set goals with their teachers and track monthly how they are doing on their math and reading assessments to recognize their growth.
Parent-Teacher Conferences - PTC's are coming and our teachers can't wait to brag about how great your students have been doing. Due to these conferences and our annual October days/PD Day, your student's schedules will look different in the next few weeks. Look below for the schedule changes over the next three weeks.
Ready for Kindergarten - Do you have a student ages 0-5? Make sure you check out the flyer below and sign up for our free parent workshops. Dinner, childcare, and free materials will be provided. Personally, I cannot emphasize enough how great this program is. I attended this last year for my 2-year-old and this year I will attend again to get all new content for my 3-year-old! Please call Mr. Jensen and ask any and all of your questions about this great program!
"Don't have a good day, have a GRRReat day!"

Family Involvment! Ideas to work with your student at home!
Cook together
The easiest and most important thing you can always do is take some time and read with your students. "Reading to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand written words. Reading to a child has been proven to improve cognitive skills and aid in cognitive development."
Aside from reading practice, cooking as a family can be beneficial in many other ways. From helping to encourage healthy eating habits and honing fine motor skills to passing down family traditions and making memories, time spent in the kitchen can be a world of wonder for little ones. Along the way, your child will be exposed to both math through measurements and reading through recipe directions. To get the most from the experience, consider allowing your child to read the instructions to you and help execute them.
While the delicious creation will undoubtedly take longer to prepare and clean up with an eager helper, slowing down when you cook can be a fun way for growing minds to learn. After all, food tastes better when it’s made with love!

New Staff Introductions
Kuna is one of my favorite places, I have many excellent memories of swimming in the creek, exploring the desert, and corn topping in my youth. I have spent the last 2 years learning in the district and I am excited to be here at Crimson Point. In my free time, I am usually playing soccer, volleyball, basketball, flag football or hiking. I love traveling, especially to see my children who are all over the world at the moment.
