Wildcat Families,

Now that all of our Wildcats have started their school year, I’d like to use this week’s message to share with you our school goals and the actions we’re working on as a staff to reach them this year. Last spring, both students and staff reported that student behavior was impacting learning more than it had in past years. Students also indicated that the felt students weren’t getting along as well with each other as they had in the past. These indicators have led us to focus on our school-wide systems for teaching clear and consistent behaviors by all of our staff across our school. As I mentioned last week, we’re committed to teaching, re-teaching and practicing these behaviors as needed across all school settings, helping to reinforce these behaviors with consistent positive reinforcement.

We know that simply teaching behavior won’t improve student relationships to level we strive for here at CFT. With that knowledge, we are also working on building connections both between students and to academic learning by striving to engage students in structured peer-to-peer dialogue in every class, every day. As humans we learn through conversation, we connect through conversation and we grow together through conversation. With this in mind, we hope to build a learning environment where all of our students are seen, valued and heard.

We also want you, as families to feel seen and heard as you are crucial parts of our community. Please be watching for opportunities in the coming weeks to share your experience as families with us, starting with Coffee with the Principal on Friday, October 6, from 8:15-9:15.

In the meantime, enjoy the warm weekend!

Sincerely,

Tim, Principal

Familias Wildcat,

Ahora que todos nuestros Wildcats han comenzado su año escolar, me gustaría usar el mensaje de esta semana para compartir con ustedes nuestras metas escolares y las acciones en las que estamos trabajando como personal para alcanzarlas este año. La primavera pasada, tanto los estudiantes como el personal informaron que el comportamiento de los estudiantes estaba impactando el aprendizaje más que en años anteriores. Los estudiantes también indicaron que sentían que los estudiantes no se llevaban tan bien entre ellos como en el pasado. Estos indicadores nos han llevado a centrarnos en nuestros sistemas escolares para enseñar comportamientos claros y consistentes a todo nuestro personal en nuestra escuela. Como mencioné la semana pasada, estamos comprometidos a enseñar, volver a enseñar y practicar estos comportamientos según sea necesario en todos los entornos escolares, ayudando a reforzar estos comportamientos con un refuerzo positivo constante.

Sabemos que simplemente enseñar comportamiento no mejorará las relaciones con los estudiantes al nivel que buscamos aquí en CFT. Con ese conocimiento, también estamos trabajando para construir conexiones tanto entre los estudiantes como con el aprendizaje académico, esforzándonos por involucrar a los estudiantes en un diálogo estructurado entre pares en cada clase, todos los días. Como seres humanos aprendemos a través de la conversación, nos conectamos a través de la conversación y crecemos juntos a través de la conversación. Con esto en mente, esperamos construir un ambiente de aprendizaje donde todos nuestros estudiantes sean vistos, valorados y escuchados.

También queremos que ustedes, como familias, se sientan vistos y escuchados, ya que son partes cruciales de nuestra comunidad. Esté atento a las oportunidades en las próximas semanas para compartir su experiencia como familia con nosotros, comenzando con un café con el director el viernes 6 de octubre de 8:15 a 9:15.

Mientras tanto, ¡disfruta del cálido fin de semana!

Atentamente,

Tim, Director

We even had Timber Joey stop by our beautiful bulletin board for a quick photo opportunity. Thanks Timber Joey!
