"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - January 28, 2019
Positivity Project - Other People Matter Mindset
Our focus for the week will be to further explore the Other People Matter (OtherBucsMatter) Mindset with a specific focus on Supporting Others when they Struggle.
Mr. Simons and Ms. Oas will be working with each grade level this week to explore the notion of "Paying it Forward" with an act of kindness.
Challenge your family to "Pay it Forward" by showing an act of kindness this week. Tweet @BuckhornCreekES to show us how your family paid it forward.
Use the quotes and videos below to host discussion with your child.
"Strong people don't put others down, they lift them up." ~Unknown
"Help people even when you know they can't help you back. ~Unknown

Link Closes Tuesday!!! - Principal-Parent Advisory Committee
Throughout the year, our goal is to intentionally connect with parents to showcase something about our school and to seek input. As we approach our next scheduled meeting on February 4th at 9:15 am and 6:30pm, we would like to hear what you would like to learn about.
Below is a link to a quick survey. We have listed a few main topics you might want to know about and provided you the option to write in your own topics; as we know our list is not comprehensive. We will review the survey results and begin to craft the agenda based on your input as parents. Thank you in advance for your time and support.
mClass Testing!!
**Please note the document contains a TRC Benchmark Goals chart at the bottom-these goals have shifted a bit with the new texts this year. The Home Connect letter will show the correct goals aligned with the new text for all students
