The Bobcat
Week of May 13, 2019
Vision: Academic Excellence and Success
From Mr. R's Desk
The end of the school year is right around the corner and we cannot let our guard down, especially right now. This is crunch-time and we need everyone doing their part.
- Continue with quality instruction.
- Continue with supervision. Your presence makes a big difference, especially in between classes.
- Continue reporting safety concerns regarding staff and/or students.
- Continue contacting parents. If there's an academic or behavior concern with a student, you should call parents immediately.
- Remember, only one student per pass and no hall passes the 1st or last 15 minutes of instruction.
- You're the adult, the professional, and the one who controls the climate/culture of the classroom. No one else.
I will say it again... instruction and discipline go hand-in-hand. If there’s quality instruction and it’s meaningful, students will stay on task but if there’s no instruction and/or it’s not meaningful, students will be off-task and be disruptive. Instruction/learning should be from bell to bell and have a purpose. We have taken great strides and we cannot afford to take a step in the wrong direction. Let’s continue making progress.

Rio Hondo's Castaneda relishing senior season.
Senior Kayla Castaneda has been in plenty of big spots in her career. The slugger is one of three remaining members from Rio Hondo’s 2017 region final team. Last year, Castaneda suffered a season-ending knee injury during the first scrimmage of the season. A year later, Castaneda is back fully healthy and is providing Rio Hondo leadership and a bat in the middle of the Lady Bobcats’ order.
