The Weekly Roar

Another great week is in the books for Traina. This week Mr. DeLong and I made our way through the 5th and 6th grade classrooms to present on school behavior expectations. Last week, we had this conversation with all 7th and 8th graders. We will move through the K - 4 grade students in the following weeks.

Please do not allow your students to bring toys to school. Toys should stay at home, unless specifically requested by the classroom teacher for something such as show-and-tell. Footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, etc. for recess and lunch recess are allowed.

We are looking for parents to participate and be members of this year's School Site Council. If you are interested, please complete the nomination form below by the end of day on 8/30/23.

School Site Council Nomination Form

SSC meets monthly after school. Please see a more detailed description below.

• The School Site Council (SSC) is intended to be a decision-making body that represents all stakeholders of the school community. The school principal, teachers, other school personnel, parents and students (secondary level) make up this group. Their primary responsibility is to identify common goals and assist the leadership team in establishing a plan to achieve the goals. The key to a successful SSC depends upon a good working relationship among all members of the Council. Each member of the Council shares their unique perspective and knowledge of the school's needs, as they affect all students, during SSC meetings.

• 9/4 - No School (Labor Day)
  

Please do not "double up" on Windsong Drive. There should be one line of cars on the street, that divides into two lines once you reach the parking lot. The right side picks up closer to the Kinder Gate. This location is more ideal for those picking up 1st graders. The left side will go through, past the crosswalk to the main Pick-Up access area for all students.

Please make sure that you pull all the way forward in the car line. If there is space in front of you, or a car ahead moves, please move forward as well. This helps the car line flow more efficiently.

• report to the cafeteria between 7:30 and 8:00
• will report to the playground between 8:00 and 8:10

Class begins promptly at 8:15

PARENTS:

• Please make sure that you pull all the way forward when in the right-hand pick-up line. If a car in front of you moves, please move forward. This helps make the car line run much smoother and efficiently. Thank you for understanding.
