Principal Memo
Tuesday, students stayed home while teachers came to school to learn. Overall, I have heard staff appreciated the time to learn together and develop ideas of how we can help all our students learn.
Wednesday we had our first rain of the year during lunchtime! The kindergartners were surprised when the clouds opened up and started raining on them as they ate. Our quick noon duty supervisors had the children go to the nearest sheltered spots to allow them to finish eating before heading back to the classrooms. Our cafeteria staff, custodian, and I hurried to get the tables and benches pulled down to prepare the rest of our students to have their first indoor lunch of the year. Thank goodness we are able to be flexible!
Thursday evening we honored our fourth-grade district student of the month. On Friday, our week ended with our Morning Assembly out on the back playground. I spoke to the students about potentially bringing our extra candy to school to send off to donate to people that were not able to trick or treat. This could be to troops overseas or possibly other countries. I will research our options and let the students vote on the recipients next week. The other topic I spoke about was remembering to use our words with friends. We see a lot of physical reactions when students are having big emotions. Please practice scenarios with your students at home to help us support their social-emotional learning.
This Sunday, our clocks will FALL backward, giving us an additional hour. I am hopeful this helps all of our students arrive at school on time next week. Remember, the gates open at 8:05. Students are able to wait on campus until their classroom doors open. Last week we averaged 30 tardy students daily. Please make sure your students arrive with enough time to get to class by 8:15 so they do not miss out on learning opportunities.
Next week holds many exciting opportunities. Monday is our Home and School Club meeting, Wednesday is our first Literacy Night for Kindergarteners thru 2nd graders and their parents. Thursday we have a school assembly planned during the day and then we will also have the Hour of Code event in the evening. Please make sure you register for the evening events! Friday is a holiday for all.
Please Take Parent Climate Survey
In alignment with our Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals and initiatives to ensure positive academic, social-emotional, and behavioral learning, this survey is intended to understand parent perception of progress toward academic achievement, practical instruction, a positive environment, and strong community engagement at Fammatre. The survey is linked below. Submit the completed survey by Monday, Nov 7th.
Have a great weekend and rest up! Next week is going to be busy!
Kindly,
Samantha Haley
