Dear Galvan Family,
This week starts the 5th grading period for our students. We now only have two more grading periods to finish off the year! The goal for our students is to always finish strong. Parents be on the look out for reports cards going home on Friday, February 21, 2020.
Friday, February 21st is the Father Daughter Social Family event from 5:30 -7:30 pm in the Galvan Cafeteria. We are excited to see all the Dads enjoy an evening with their daughters for the "Love you to the Moon and Back" theme. All remaining reservations may still be turned into the front office.
Congratulations to all our students who met their AR Goal for the 4th grading period. They will be celebrated this Wednesday. Keep up the great work boys and girls to continue to read!

Attendance Wars
Your child's attendance matters everyday because learning takes place daily. Please make sure your child is in school by 7:50 am to avoid schedule interruptions. Our Explorers love starting on time with their classmates.
The friendly competition continues between our grade levels. The grade level with the highest attendance at the end of each grading period wins an incentive! Everyday matters and it's important to remember when your child is not in school he or she is missing learning experiences.
If a student is out sick a note must be provided the next day for documentation. After a student has been absent for more than 3 days a note from the doctor will only be accepted. The campus daily attendance goal is 96%. Let's make this happen by making sure the students are in school everyday.
AR Reading
We are encouraging our students to read nightly at home to attain their six week's AR Goal every grading period. Studies show students who read more increase their comprehension and critical thinking skills! Have you asked your child in grades 1st-5th grade what their AR Goal is for the grading period? If not do so today, this will definitely spark motivation because mom, dad, or family member are inquiring about it. We wish our students the best in everything that you do to excel!
Thank you for all the support and cooperation.
Your Proud Principal,
Diana S. Ybarra
