Cougar Connect Community Edition
March 6 - March 17
Principal Arellano's Post
Greetings Cougar Families!
We are officially in March! We are in the home stretch of 3rd quarter. We would like to thank you for your partnership this year. We are successful because of your partnership. Thank you for entrusting us with your children!
Please be on the lookout for teacher's communication regarding spring parent-teacher conferences. These conferences are designed to connect with new community members who missed out on October conferences.
Please be sure to look in your student's backpack daily and check your Remind app for communication from the school and your student's teacher. Students have nightly homework. Please support them in completing homework and reading nightly.
Important Information Regarding School Lunch
With the passing of Proposition FF school meals will become free at the start of the 2023/2024 school year. The procedures for school meals will follow the current process for the rest of this school year.
More information on menus, pricing, payments meal applications and charge policies can be accessed at www.wsd3ns.com.
If you have any questions please call Nutrition Services at 719.391.3560.
Please keep an eye on your student's lunch account balance. If you have concerns, please reach out to our Cafeteria Manager, Mrs. Coll. Call the front office and we can transfer your call.
The link for online lunch payments is attached. Your child's student ID number will be on their profile page that you sign off on in the classroom when you meet the teacher. Cash or check can be accepted at the school.

Habits of Success Focus: Agency
ROARS Focus: Responsibility
The skill of Agency helps our students in the following ways:
Through the habit of agency, students build the capacity to positively influence their own lives and learning. Building student agency can happen through actively working with students to set goals, reflect on goals and actions, act as responsible learners and citizens, and have a voice in their own actions.
Circle Prompts:
- What is a goal you can set to be an active learner?
- What is an area in math, reading, or writing where you would like to improve?
- What specials class would you like to improve your performance in?
- How are you demonstrating responsibility as a learner?
- How are you demonstrating responsibility as a citizen of the Cougar Nation?
- Part of goal setting is reflecting. Did you meet your goal this week? Why or why not?
- Are you taking ownership of your actions on the playground? How about in the classroom? How?
