Thunderbird Times
September 5 - 8
First Week
As I walked the halls, students were excited to be at Chavez, parents shared memories with the staff and other parents, and positive interactions were happening everyday! Let us strive to continue this trend and continue our success!
We also had our first Coffee with the Principal on Friday and it went great. Parents shared positive experiences with their children's teachers and were happy to have Chavez be their Number 1 Choice campus!
We really got to use this time to reinforce campus expectations about attendance and being on time to school everyday.
Second Week Reminders
Please ensure your lesson plans are submitted by 8 am every Friday morning for the following week. This system will allow the plans to be reviewed on Friday and feedback to be given before the weekend so any areas of adjustment and focus can be revisited before the school week. Lessons plans are submitted using the District Network Drive, Staff://, Lessons Plans, then choose your grade level and upload.
Shout Out to Kindergarten for being the first ones to upload their Lesson Plans on time!!
Chavez now has a dedicated Facebook page! As communicated in Coffee with the Principal, we strive to keep in constant positive communication with parents and give them advanced notice of upcoming events. If you have anything you would like shared of FB, please feel free to do so, or send me the link/images and I can post under the campus account. Information will also be provided using Twitter.

Upcoming Events
The District is having ALL elementary campuses host a Back to School Night on Thursday, September 14th as a chance to communicate with parents and to show our commitments to kids. Please collaborate with your grade level as to what evidence of learning and engagement can be shared with parents so we continue to show high levels of enthusiasm with the parents and students we serve.
5th Grade PTA Performance is on Wednesday, September 20th at 6pm.
