80TH DAY OF SCHOOL
A NOTE FROM MRS. COFFMAN
Can you believe it? We just celebrated our 80th day of school in style! We had some wonderful 80's outfits and loads of spirit!
Everyone has been working so hard! Please praise and encourage the teachers! They deserve so much with their ability to maintain flexibility and student success throughout all the changes. We are blessed to attend school in such a positive and learner-centered place! (They love gift cards, treats, and Dr. Pepper!)
Tengo algunos recordatorios amistosos para ti. Es imperativo que sus estudiantes estén en clase a las 7:45 am. Si su hijo no entra al edificio antes de las 7:45, debe entrar a la oficina de la escuela primaria y registrar su entrada. Usamos todos los minutos de instrucción y el trabajo de clase comienza a las 7:45. Si su hijo llega tarde, le faltan instrucciones. Cinco o más tardanzas resultan en la escuela de recuperación de lunes. Además, asegúrese de que su hijo traiga una botella de agua y una máscara a la escuela todos los días.
¡Todos han estado trabajando tan duro! ¡Alabe y anime a los maestros! Se merecen mucho por su capacidad para mantener la flexibilidad y el éxito de los estudiantes durante todos los cambios. ¡Tenemos la suerte de asistir a la escuela en un lugar tan positivo y centrado en el alumno! (¡Les encantan las tarjetas de regalo, las golosinas y Dr. Pepper!)
