Magical Moment "SPOTLIGHT" - Tatiana Cabrera
This week's Magical Moment Spotlight is on Mrs. Tatiana Cabrera for her creativity and dedication. When you step into Frank Guzick Elementary School, we want you to feel the aura of excellence. Excellent schools not only produce excellent academic results, they have a school culture that they are proud to show off. Mrs. Cabrera used her creativity to help showcase the awesome things that are going on at Guzick!

Checking Emails
Please ensure that you are checking your work email at least twice a day (during the workweek) for any important messages from the office and/or action items that may need your attention. I would suggest once in the morning or mid-day, and again towards the end of the school day.
Checking your work email is especially important when it comes to ensuring a safe after school dismissal. Parents oftentimes contact the front office to make changes to their child's dismissal. We send an email to you as an official record of the change. This is just an example of how critical it is for our work emails to be checked regularly.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Balanced Numeracy and Literacy Learning Walks
We look forward to visiting your classrooms and learning from you and your students as we create an effective balanced literacy and numeracy program at Frank Guzick!
REMINDER: After School Activities Protocol (Tutoring, Clubs, and Sports)
To ensure that students are supervised at all times and we are communicating appropriately with our parents, please review the following after school activities protocol and plan accordingly:
Regular Dismissal @2:45pm
-All students should dismiss according to the regular dismissal process. There should be no students who are walking down the hallway unsupervised. At 3:10pm, students who are in after school activities should be escorted by their dismissal teacher to the cafeteria to be greeted by their sponsor/coach.
-Please refer to the Google doc with the list of after school activities, dates, and student names.
Cancellations
-Cancellations should only occur at least 24 hours before the scheduled activity date. "Day of" cancellations should not be a common practice.
-Parents should be notified of cancellations in writing and if at all possible by phone as well.
-Please send an email to Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Chavez when you are cancelling tutoring so we can communicate the change to parents if they call the front office.
After School Activities Dismissal
-All activities should end before 4:30pm. Students should be outside at 4:30pm for dismissal.
-Please use the red hall or car arrival doors to dismiss. Please do not dismiss from the blue or green hallway doors.
