Happy New Year!
As you can see from the above pictures, the new Cline Elementary is coming along. You can now see the brick walls in place around the kitchen, cafeteria, and gym. We are starting our planning for programs, clubs, schedules etc. and can't wait for teachers and students be able to walk into a new building.
Christmas tradition of partnering with Blue Santa
What another great toy drive! Sargeant Kimberly said that this year there was a greater need for toys that in the past! What a great way for our students to learn about the importance of giving and just another way to fill buckets!
Tardy!
Grit and Perseverance
With the recent holidays and all of the special events, late nights and celebrations it is easy to fall into a that routine of just hitting the snooze button. We encourage you to not let that become a habit. A habit that unfortunately sends the unintended message that it's not important to be on time to school, work etc.
At Cline, we believe in fostering a learner profile of respect, grit/perseverance, collaboration, citizenship and responsibility. When you as a family make it a "big deal" to be on time to school, you are instilling grit and perseverance in your child and to have a strong work ethic, to be resilient when things get tough.
If students are struggling to get up and "do their part" use the words that they are showing responsibility by getting up and getting ready by themselves and doing this without being told.
Cline Ponies show respect, work with others, demonstrate citizenship, are responsible and have grit!
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) update
The FISD Office of Communications Team has worked hard on the FISD SEL webpage to update the SEL curriculum parent page. Click on the link to learn more.
We define social and emotional learning (SEL) as an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. *Casel.org
