Last week went quickly! From opening up our brand new outdoor learning space, to SWAT Team facilitating our second semester Fitness Day, to Parent Teacher Conferences, to Love of Reading Readers, to the Black History Month book display in the library there is a lot going on at Carrillo! Below are a few photos from the week.
This week is Kindness week, thank you for encouraging your cougar to participate in as many activities as they would like. Kindness Week will culminate in a drawing for students that choose to patriciate in the week long "Kindness Challenges." For some challenges, teachers will initial once completed, but you can initial any that your student completes at home. We hope you enjoy the activities and focus on kindness outside of the building as well as inside.
Wishing you all a week full of kindness!

Kind Campus Update - Self Kindness, The Benefits of Spending Time Outdoors
Spending time outdoors improves our health. From breathing fresh air to taking a walk to enjoying a scenic view, experts agree that getting outside improves our perspective. In fact, when we immerse ourselves in the beauty of the natural world, it actually makes it easier for us to be kind to ourselves and to others. Studies show that exposure to the natural world—in both urban green spaces and natural environments—has significant and wide-ranging health benefits. Encourage your students to go outside and then reflect on how they feel.
- What does being outside have to do with kindness?
- How does being outside affect your mood?
- How does it help you feel more ready to practice kindness with yourself and others?
Absence Reporting
When students are absent, a parent or guardian should call the school on the day of the absence. If the school has not received an explanation of the absence, we will call home to attempt to verify the reason for the absence. All absences must be cleared within one week, or they will automatically be recorded as unexcused and may be considered truancies. The attendance office direct line is (520) 225-1202. This line is open 24 hours a day to report student absences. Thank you for your help!
