Hello Grijalva Families
It is hard to believe that the first month of school has come to an end. Thank you for a great beginning of the school year! We are now in full swing of things and looking forward to an amazing September. Teachers have jumped right into academic content, students are hard at work with their learning goals, and we are fortunate to be fully staffed with highly qualified teachers.
Parent-Teacher Conference Days are September 14, 15, and 16. Students will be dismissed at 10:40 on each of these days to provide time for teachers and parents to meet. One of our goals this year is to have at least 90% of our families attend fall conferences. Please make sure you have scheduled a conference time with your child’s teacher. We will use Bookings.com to book ALL conferences.
We also have benchmark testing at the end of the month (9/26-10/6). Please have your student present on time and prepared for benchmark exams. Avoid absences during this window, students perform better when they are testing together in the classroom rather than taking a make-up test in a different classroom/environment. Thank you for your support during benchmarks.
PTO is a critically valuable part of the Grijalva community. Our PTO plans community events that allow families to connect with each other and the school. The PTO helps fund class field trips, supplies for classrooms, Art, PE, and many other things that support Grijalva in maintaining its excellence. Please support us in reaching our goal of 100% of families being members of the PTO.
We are Helping to Fight Hunger by partnering with The Cheesecake Factory for the Peanut Butter Drive from September 6th-30th. We are asking for contributions of two (plastic) jars of peanut butter (or other nut butters). All donations will go towards benefiting local food banks!
