MARCH IB ATTRIBUTE OF THE MONTH-BALANCED
Balanced learners understand the importance of intellectual, physical, and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development.

A WORD FROM TONYA EWING-GOMEZ, PTO PRESIDENT
Our 2023 Kindness Challenge wrapped up this week with spectacular results. We raised $62,875 in 14 days! This money will be put to great use funding campus improvements, academic and behavior incentives, resources for our classroom, and funding our PTO for the 2023-2024 school year. Thank you to all of the participating families who made this year a great success! It has been a pleasure seeing everyone’s smiling faces each day. I hope your children had as much fun as I did with their acts of kindness, prizes, incentives, and parties. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to bring these joyful, fun moments to their school experience. I hope they remember them fondly for years to come.
Thank you for continuing to support our wonderful school.

CONDUCT SCORES
Each week, your K-8 scholar will receive a weekly conduct score to open the line of communication between home and school. This information will help you have meaningful conversations with your scholar and their teacher about their conduct. Conduct scores do NOT carry a grade weight or any value toward final grade calculations.
Conduct scores can be viewed in PowerSchool after 5PM on Fridays!
Here is where to view your scholar's conduct score(s):
Grades K-3: Log into PowerSchool and click on Homeroom for Q3.
Grades 4-8: Log into PowerSchool and click on each class for Q3.
