STUDENT LED FAMILY GOAL SETTING CONFERENCES-Sept. 20th and 22nd
Dear Families,
We look forward to meeting with you and your child at our goal-setting conferences on Thursday, September 20th or September 22nd. This conference will provide an opportunity for you and your child to work together with the classroom teacher to set long-range and short-term goals for the school year.
Literacy growth and attendance will be the primary focus of this goal-setting meeting. Together, you will discuss and select a literacy goal. The meetings will be 15 minutes long and meetings are scheduled back to back. Please contact your student's teacher if you have not schedule a time. A home visit can be arranged if you are not able to attend.
PTA meeting September 14 @5:30pm
Join the PTA!
Have you ever thought about joining the PTA? By joining the PTA this gives you the opportunity to be active with school events. We understand that working parents may not be able to get off work as much as you want but, we would still love to have you a part of our family and to give us your opinion and ideas with upcoming events! The PTA fee is $7.00 for the whole school year. Our goal this year is to build up our PTA so we are able to give our students, our amazing teachers and staff a wonderful school year!

The 7 Habits Overview
Habit 1-Be Proactive
To be proactive means to take responsibility for your life. Instead of being reactive and merely taking life as it comes, proactive people take initiative to make life happen the way they want it to happen.
Habit 2-Begin with the End in Mind
People who begin with the end in mind: • Plan ahead and set goals. • Are clear about what matters most to them. • Have purpose and meaning in their life. • Live by a personal mission statement. • Begin projects with clear objectives
Habit 3-Put First Things First
“I have the discipline to carry out my priorities, purposes, and plans.”
Habit 4-Think Win-Win
This is not the habit where I win and you lose, or where you win and I lose, or the habit where we both lose, it is the habit where everyone can win.
Habit 5-Seek First to Understand and then be Understood
We listen not only with our ears, but also with our eyes (looking for body language) and our heart (listening for feelings)
Habit 6-Synergize
Synergizing leads to synergy, where two or more people work together to get results better than either one of them could have come up with working alone.
Habit 7-Sharpen the Saw
It is to renew yourself in four different areas: body, mind, heart, and spirit.
REMINDERS
-Please help keep all of our students safe by not picking up walkers in the purple parking lot or on the road leading to the retirement center. Families have the option to park in the neighborhood and meet their walkers at the stop sign by the clinic or have students picked up in the car line on the west side of the building. Please contact the office with any questions.
-We continue to request that families do not use their cell phones to text or call once they enter the parking lot of all three loops. Signs will be posted in the next month as a friendly reminder.
