I was so proud to see all the great student awards this morning! Lots of smiling faces from our students! Keep up the amazing work with our kids. Let's continue recognizing great things our students are doing!
Our last 5th grade Math and Science unit tests showed great results! Math was placed #4 among other schools in our district with 37% of the students reaching advance. Science was number #2 among other schools in our district! Keep up that awesome work! KUDOS once again to our 5th grade team for giving EXCELLENCE in all you do! We have lots of other unit tests and checkpoints taking place this next week. I am looking forward to seeing some great results from our kids!
This coming week is our scheduled "late night" with our Report Card conferences. Manny will register you in Eduphoria. On both days we will have someone in the front office to allow parents into the school. Please send your parent conference schedule to the front office. We will need you to sign out in the front office before you leave each day in order to get credit for each day.
Friday, the Safety and Security department will be serving us pancakes for breakfast since we received the Safety Spotlight of the Month Award for being the first school to have all of our safety drills and paperwork completed! Kudos to Mrs. Sanchez for leading us to excellence! Thanks to all of you for doing a great job with our safety drills!
Enjoy this wonderful week! Make it a fun and relaxing one! Is anyone waiting on this cool weather to get here like I am? ENJOY!
