Week Of April 5, 2021
Principal's Den
I pray that you are all doing well and staying healthy. Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break with your family and loved ones. It is important that you took the opportunity to rest because now it is time to work hard and finish our 2020-21 school year in a very positive and strong way. Let's strive to have perfect attendance this trimester by attending our zoom sessions and turning in work. It is important that we continue to do our part as well to be safe and reduce the spread of Covid-19. I am very proud of your perseverance and determination to make the best out of every situation and continue marching forward as leaders do.
This month we celebrate Autism acceptance month. The reported cases of autism have risen sharply over the past decade. It is important that we strive to educate ourselves on this condition and learn to be more accepting of one another.
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 follow safety guidelines.
STAR students of the week - Congratulations to our STAR students of the week: Mia Torres from Ms. Dohoney's class and Emily Duenas from Ms. Ayala'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 April. Our teacher of the month is Ms. Valdivia and our classified educator of the month is our school campus support aide Ms. Shelley Jones.
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
