Week Of March 8, 2021
Principal's Den
I pray that you are all doing well and staying healthy. This week we embark on our Third Trimester for this school year. Report cards for second trimester are being prepared and will soon be mailed to you. This year has been a very different experience to say the least. I am very proud of the resiliency and support from our entire learning community. I believe our entire school staff has worked very hard and have done an outstanding job in serving our entire school community.
As we close out second trimester, we will soon be celebrating our second trimester awards with a special ceremony for each class. We also have our monthly awards recognition assembly coming up soon.
This month we also celebrate Women's History Month. Each week you will hear me highlight an individual and share a little about their biography.
Thank you to all of you that were able to come in and have your make-up pictures taken for our yearbook. Please remember to share pictures of your students dressed up during our different spirit day celebrations.
Our school is getting ready to administer the ELPAC assessment to all of our students classified as English Language Learners. If your child is listed as an English Learner, you will be receiving more information about the assessment and schedule soon.
Please continue to follow safety protocols and remind others to do the same regarding Covid 19. The faster we can overcome this pandemic as a community, the faster we can return to a sense of normalcy. Remember to wash your hands frequently and thoroughly. Wear your mask and stay at home as much as possible.
STAR students of the week - Congratulations to our STAR students of the week: Natalia Hoefer from Ms. Gallegos's class and Roman Soto from Ms. Magallanes's class. We have many other outstanding nominees for this special award and I will proudly read their names in the morning announcements. Please make sure that your students continue to stay engaged and participate in their classes daily.
Employees of the Month: We are recognizing a certificated teacher and a classified educator for the month of March. Our teacher of the month is Ms. Ayala and our classified educator is our school librarian Ms. Cruzen.
I also want to recognize our teacher of the year and classified educator of the year that will represent our school at our district's Saluting Education event. Our teacher of the year is Ms. Richards and our Classified Educator of the Year is Ms. Kim Sharp, our evening custodian.
Thank you,
At Cloverdale we strive to be Leaders by Example. As I mention to our students during announcements, this means that we always try to do the right thing even when no one is looking.
As part of our school's Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS), we also learn to ROAR. This is a matrix that exemplifies our core values of being Respectful, Organized, Accountable, and Responsible.
Our goal is to be college ready once we graduate from High School and that starts today!
Sincerely,
Genaro García
