Drill’s This Week:
There are no scheduled drills this week.
ACCESS Testing:
We have completed all scheduled testing sessions. We are currently making up tests for students that have been absent or are new to Padilla.
Discipline Trends:
We have a few students that are currently struggling to treat their bathrooms with respect. We will ask teachers to review bathroom expectations again this week and there will be consequences for those students that are caught in the act. We will work with families of students that are responsible to ensure that there is an opportunity to learn from these mistakes while helping others to also know that these behaviors do not meet our CHILL expectations. We appreciate your help and time by also reminding your students of the respect that needs to be shown to their school.
