Pacific Sky Family Update
Principal's Weekly Message 5/22-5/26
Dear Pacific Sky Families,
Thank you to our Pacific Sky PTA and Master Sports for the awesome field day experience on Monday. We appreciate our parent volunteers that came to lend a hand. We hope all students had a fun day!
As the school year begins to wind down, I can't help but reflect on what a special place we are creating for students to learn and grow. Thank you for your partnership and support. It means the world to be able to collaborate with our families to create a school we can all be proud of.
Gratefully,
Alison Fieberg, Principal

Strategic Planning Update
History-Social Science: Curriculum Pilot
During the 2022-23 school year, a team of K-6 teacher representatives from each school site engaged in a History-Social Science curriculum pilot. The team selected to review the California History-Social Science: myWorld Interactive (K-6) curriculum from Savvas and the Social Studies Alive! (K-5) and History Alive! (6th) curriculum from the Teacher's Curriculum Institute (TCI).
In order to assist us with bringing a recommendation to our DMUSD Board of Trustees in June, our team would like to extend an invitation to our parents to review the program materials provided by the two publishers and share feedback through this survey by May 31, 2023.

The Power of Grit
Do you want your child to reach their full potential? Start nurturing their grit and perseverance!
It’s tempting to jump in and solve our children’s problems. Although it seems counterintuitive, giving your child a chance to fail and bounce back or just allowing them to struggle and feel discomfort, can be natural ways to foster grit. This spring revisit SMART goals previously set and focus on skills for building GRIT in your child!

STEAM+ Spotlight: Growing Global Learners
Our STEAM+ programs promote global competence as students explore the world around them and understand how we are connected with, and learn from the world's people and cultures.
