Coyote Call

Principal's Message
BIG NEWS:
Remember our H.O.W.L. contest? Thank you for all the entries! We had submissions from parents, students, staff members, and even former Coyotes. Teachers also discussed with classes and added student suggestions. There were definitely some commonalities (help/helping, others/ourselves, learn/learning). However, there was one that we felt captured the themes AND had a simplistic, chant-like quality about it.
- Help everyone
- Own our actions
- Welcome diversity
- Love our community
Over the next few weeks, we will share these with students, spending time on each one so we understand the meaning and how we all can best demonstrate what it means to be a Lakewood Creek Coyote.
Congratulations to Christine K! She had the winning submission and will be contacted today with a prize!

Help Everyone. Own Our Actions. Welcome Diversity. Love Our Community.
School-Wide Second Step Focus
Growth Mindset teaches us "I can get better at something with practice and effort."
Next week, your child should learn how to:
- Kindergarten: identify 2 important reasons to pay attention: to learn & to stay safe
- 1st Grade: suggest behaviors that can help them pay attention, even with distractions
- 2nd Grade: how to 'keep going' when they've made a mistake
- 3rd Grade: describe the connection between their own practice and changes to the networks in their brain
- 4th Grade: make a plan to reach a class goal
- 5th Grade: make an effective plan to reach a personal goal, including a way to track their progress
