Happy New Year, Owens Community!

I hope you had a great time celebrating the holidays. We're back to school for the second semester and are working hard to re-establish routines, procedures and expectations. After a long winter break, we're back to maximize our students learning time. Let's continue to work together to help our Jackrabbits meet behavior and academic expectations. That way, we can help them reach their goals and celebrate success. As a parent, I know the importance of reminding our children to work hard and to show good behaviors. I ask that you please continue to remind your child every day. We also want to ask to please review our district calendar to plan days off around our school days. Attendance is a critical part in helping our students reach their goals. Let's continue to work on maintaining high levels of school attendance.

I appreciate your trust in our school and continued partnership in educating your child. Remember that I am always available if there's anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly or by calling our school.

Thank you!

Cesar Diaz

¡Feliz Año Nuevo, comunidad de Owens!


Espero que hayan disfrutado de las vacaciones. Hemos vuelto a la escuela para el segundo semestre y estamos trabajando duro para restablecer las rutinas, los procedimientos y las expectativas. Tras unas largas vacaciones de invierno, hemos vuelto para aprovechar al máximo el tiempo de aprendizaje de nuestros estudiantes. Sigamos trabajando juntos para ayudar a nuestros Jackrabbits a cumplir con las expectativas académicas y de comportamiento. De esta forma, podremos ayudarles a alcanzar sus metas y celebrar el éxito. Como padre, sé lo importante que es recordar a nuestros hijos que trabajen duro y se comporten bien. Les pido que sigan recordándoselo a sus hijos todos los días. También queremos pedirles que revisen el calendario de nuestro distrito para planificar los días libres en función de los días escolares. La asistencia es una parte fundamental para ayudar a nuestros alumnos a alcanzar sus metas. Sigamos trabajando para mantener una alta asistencia a la escuela.


Agradezco su confianza en nuestra escuela y su continua colaboración en la educación de su hijo. Recuerden que siempre estoy disponible si hay algo en lo que pueda ayudarles. No duden en ponerse en contacto conmigo directamente o llamando a nuestra escuela.


¡Gracias!

César Díaz

SEATING

Seating is limited for visitors. You may only sit

with your child at the visitor's table.

Your child's friends must remain with the teacher.


FOOD
Parents can only provide food for their personal child. Other children should eat what their parents sent them or from the cafeteria. Once lunch ends, your child should throw away what they have not eaten. Please do not send them back to class with sodas, etc.


ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE
Please remain in the front office until 5 minutes before your child starts lunch. This helps with congestion at the visitor table. When your child's class leaves the cafeteria, it is time for your child to rejoin his/her class. Please turn in your "visitor sticker" to the front office when you depart.

MORNING ARRIVAL;

We open our front doors at 8:20 AM. If you drop your child off before 8:20 AM, there will be no supervision. Students are allowed to enter the building at 8:20 AM ONLY IF an adult is on duty. Instruction begins at 8:45 AM. Please help us begin instruction on time by allowing your child to ride the school bus or by dropping them off in time to walk to class and be in their seat ready to learn by 8:45 AM.

Students who are car riders and walkers/bikers who arrive after 8:45 AM will be counted tardy.

Students who are tardy must be brought into the building by an adult to be signed in.

Owens requires a handwritten note for any change of transportation. The note should state the student's full name, the date, the new mode of transportation, the date for the change to occur, and have the signature of the legal guardian.

There are two ways to change transportation:

  1. Send a note in your student's backpack in the morning.
  2. Drop off a note at the front desk.

ALL requests for transportation changes must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. to make a change for the same day. For the safety of our students, no over-the-phone changes can be accepted.

CAMBIOS EN EL TRANSPORTE CAMBIOS EN EL TRANSPORTE

Owens requiere una nota escrita a mano para cualquier cambio en el transporte. La nota debe indicar el nombre completo del estudiante, la fecha, el nuevo medio de transporte, la fecha en que se producirá el cambio y la firma del tutor legal.

Hay dos formas de cambiar el transporte:

  • Envíe una nota en la mochila de su hijo por la mañana.
  • Entregar una nota en la recepción.

TODAS las solicitudes de cambios en el transporte deben presentarse antes de las 3:00 p. m. para que el cambio se haga efectivo el mismo día.

Por la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes, no se aceptan cambios por teléfono.
