Message from Principal Renaud
Greetings Nathan Adams Family,
In the last two weeks, as a staff, we have had the opportunity to look at student achievement data, review progress of the intervention plans, plan for Response to Intervention, and ensure that all resources are provided. We have a clear picture of what our students need to be successful academically. Let's draw from the strength and support of each other, and do everything possible to ensure that our students achieve their academic goals!
Finally it is our turn to host the WT White Feeder Pattern Principal Meeting this Friday from 11-5:00 pm in the library. We will be visiting classrooms in small groups and then discussing the outstanding instruction that was observed with the Executive Director and the Academic Facilitators.
Thank you all for your support and dedication to student success!

A Big Shout Out to Ms. Villarreal & Ms. Vallejo
Theses two teachers prepared a great place value workshop with our parents. It was very informative and the parents were able to use hands on manipulatives that were provided. This workshop helped parents to understand math as it is taught today to provide support to their children at home. More workshops are coming!
Thank You Ms. Villarreal & Ms. Vallejo for leading the learning!

Why Breakfast is Important to Armadillos.......
We are excited to announce that we reached our goal of 95% with the participation rate with Breakfast in the Classroom! Research confirms that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for children’s health, academic achievement, cognitive development and mental health. Unfortunately, many children regularly skip breakfast each morning, depriving them of the important benefits associated with the morning meal.
In the school setting, children who struggle with hunger face:
- Lack of concentration
- Slower recall
- Difficulty paying attention
- Diminished academic performance
- Emotional and behavioral difficulties
- Issues with aggression and anxiousness
- Difficulty getting along with other kids
- Hyperactivity
- Increased illness, with a longer recovery time, leading to increased absence and tardiness
