A Message from the Principal...
Dear friends,
Thanks for another great week! Teachers, I appreciate all the effort you put into "drafting" your "focus students". Classified staff, to clarify, "focus students" are kids who may struggle academically, behaviorally, or social emotionally. Certificated personnel are each taking on one "focus student" to mentor and support this school year. We would like to invite you to participate as well. If there is a student you feel is in need of a little extra TLC, please email Nicole Pablo at npablo@powayusd.com and she can explain the program in more detail. I am confident that by making a collective effort and showing our Ram pride, we will be able to help coach these students to success.
On another note, in an effort to properly inform you of any emergencies the district is collecting cell phone numbers, so that they may alert you immediately of any issues or concerns. You are encouraged to give your number to Christie Hamilton as soon as possible so we can get our database updated.
Have a great week!
Kelly
