An Update from Dean Hawkins
Drill’s This Week:
We were able to practice our monthly Evacuation Drill this past Friday. This date changed because of Thursday’s late start schedule. The drill was successful as we were able to evacuate the building in less than three minutes with all staff and students accounted for in less than eight. Our teachers and students continue to do a great job of taking these drills and the overall safety of their classroom very seriously. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this or any other upcoming drill!
ACCESS Testing Continues This Week!
This will be the last week of this particular test for most of our ELL (English Language Learners) students. We will have a few make ups This week as well as the next. All ELL kindergarten students will be tested one on one on the 27th of this week!

Student Council Update
Thank you for allowing your student to participate!
Our next meeting is Feb 4th.
- If your student wants to submit a design idea for our Student Council t-shirts, please have them draw it and bring it to our meeting. It must be school appropriate, say Padilla on it, and say student council.
- We will do a Spirit Week after Spring Break, please be thinking about ideas for the days to discuss at our next meeting
- We are helping PTO sell candygrams on Feb 1-4th after school (3:30-3:45 pm). If your student wants to be a part of that please make sure to pick them up at 3:45 pm that week.
- We took a vote on how to use the money we earned from our candy cane sales in December. We are picking a place to donate half, and going to get welcome packages for new students with the other half.
- Some ideas we are discussing for the remainder of this year:
- school supply drive
- food donation drive
- another fundraiser to donate more money somewhere
- Remember that 3 absences from meetings or not showing our CHILL Keys at Padilla may result in being asked not to participate in student council.
- If you are interested in helping with any of these things, or have any questions, please reach out to Ms. A: labramowitz@sd27j.net
