October Important Days

Dear Families,

We are now in October and our new Character Trait for the month is Responsible. Responsibility means many different things including the following:


  • being dependable so people can count on you
  • keeping one's word and agreements
  • meeting one's commitments
  • doing something to the best of one's ability
  • being accountable for one's behavior
  • accepting credit when you do things right and acknowledge mistakes
  • being a contributing member of the family


Talk with your child about being responsible.


  • How do we take care of our environment and show we are responsible?
  • How can they be responsible at home? School?
  • Create a chart with things they are responsible for.

Here are some videos to watch with your child about responsibility.

Student of the Month

The month of September our students learned about how to show RESPECT. Each classroom selected a student who demonstrated Respect towards other students, in the classroom, outside on the playground. On Friday we celebrated our students at our assembly.


We all celebrated the class with the best attendance, grade level with best attendance, as well as the class with the most dolphin tickets. We had 123 students who had perfect attendance in the month of September. These students will receive an ice cream treat this week.

Best Attendance for Month of September: Ms. Aguilar-Ortiz Class
