Principal's Corner π
Greetings Aspire Families:
πStudents coming to the Innovation Center all day should bring a sack lunch (nut free). Unfortunately, we are unable to refrigerate or microwave food due to our limited facilities.
πOur PTSA and Student Council are sponsoring Picnic in the Park tomorrow, March 2, from 11:00-1:00. An adult is required to remain with the student as this is not a drop off event. Additional details can be found in this newsletter. Come join the fun!
πGet ready for an exciting event! Our Kindergarten Round-Up is just around the corner, and we invite all prospective Kindergarten students and their families to join us on March 5th, starting at 2:30 PM. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet our dedicated teachers, explore our kindergarten, and learn more about the enriching educational experience we offer at Aspire. We'll provide essential information to ensure a smooth transition into this important stage of your child's academic journey.
π We are celebrating our K-12 fulltime students who have reached the goal at our quarterly Pizza with the Principal! Students who qualify received an invitation to the event through email. Keep up the great work!
πA friendly reminder to all parents and guardians: please remember to submit your MYHOURS to track your required attendance each week. Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated, and it helps us maintain accurate records.
πPTA Membership: Our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) plays a crucial role in supporting our school community. If you are interested in becoming an active PTA member and contributing to the success of our school, please find more information below. Your involvement makes a significant difference!
ππAs we celebrate these achievements, we would also like to remind everyone to mark their calendars for the upcoming mandatory state testing dates. Separate communications will be sent out with detailed information, but please be aware that attendance for all state testing is required for students to remain online.
As always, if you questions or concerns, please contact your administration
Juliet Amara 7-12 and Laura Victor K-6 @ Aspire@dvusd.org.
