Pacific Sky Family Update
Principal's Weekly Message 11/13 - 11/17
Dear Pacific Sky Families,
It is hard to believe how much learning has occurred at Pacific Sky during the first trimester of school. We are thrilled to see students making significant progress and I am so proud of the education our compassionate, dedicated staff design for all Pilots. Not only does our staff focus on the academic growth of each child, but we also regularly talk about our students’ social-emotional well-being. As we design learning experiences, we consider our Portrait of a Learner and the competencies we hope our students will achieve. To learn more about our Portrait of a Learner and our Strategic Plan, Destination 2028!, see HERE.
This week you will have the opportunity to meet with your child(ren)’s teachers and get to hear about their performance in school at their parent/teacher conference. It’s an exciting time and we look forward to seeing you on the Pacific Sky campus and in our classrooms. Just a reminder - school dismisses at 12:30 pm all week to provide time for our parent/teacher conferences to take place.
With Gratitude,
Chelsea Moore, Principal

Please see HERE for our STEAM+ Spotlight in PE with Coach Brand.
The goal of PE at Pac Sky is to provide every child with a positive PE experience, build their confidence, and provide many opportunities for them to work in pairs, teams and individually on physical and social emotional skills (that are connected with sports, games & activities). I strive to help students find their JOYful movement, so they can be physically active for life.

Encouraging Reading and Rewarding Top Readers!!
Our first Pacific Sky School Readathon is going well! The primary objective of the Readathon is to cultivate a love of reading among all our students. We have set a target goal of 200 total reading minutes for each participating student (average of 15-20 minutes per day) to be completed between November 4th-17th. Prizes will be awarded to the top students and classes who read the most. We welcome any amount of donations to support the PTA and its efforts to introduce various educational, fun, and exciting programs and events to the school and community.

Math Club is Looking for Coaches
PTA is excited to offer Math Club (free of charge!!) again in the spring of 2024!!
The PTA will cover all the cost for contest registration, practice materials, certificates, etc.
The purpose of the Math Club is not to provide Math tutoring but to help participating students practice and prepare to compete in the Spring Noetic Learning Math Contest (NLMC) in April. During the Math Club practice sessions, the volunteer coaches will provide past NLMC contest questions for the participating students to practice.
We are looking for student interest (4th-6th grades) and volunteer coaches!!
Please reach out to Matthew Cheng at healthsafetychair@pacificskypta.com with questions.
