Gators,

It is hard to believe we have already completed the first three weeks of school! Our students have had a wonderful start to the year, and we are incredibly proud of how quickly they are settling into their new routines and expectations. Each day, we see students becoming more confident as they learn classroom procedures, build relationships with their teachers and peers, and embrace the opportunities that come with a new school year.

As we move into September, we will be administering our first Progress Monitoring (PM) assessments during the second and third weeks of the month. These assessments provide valuable information about student learning and growth, helping us identify individual strengths as well as areas where additional support may be needed. The results will guide our instructional decisions and ensure that every student receives the resources and assistance necessary to succeed.

We are excited to see the progress our students have already made and look forward to partnering with you throughout the year. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to help every child reach their full potential.

We look forward to another great month of learning and growth!

Mary Ann Gallegos

Mr. Berning, Assistant Principal of Curriculum and Instruction

What a wonderful first week of school! Our Champions have returned eager to learn, explore, and grow. In classrooms across campus, students are building positive learning habits, establishing goals, and engaging in meaningful learning experiences. Our teachers are focused on creating rigorous and supportive environments where every student can succeed. As we begin this journey together, we encourage families to talk with their children about their goals for the year and celebrate their accomplishments along the way. Through the Power of We, we will make this a year of academic excellence and growth for every Champion.

Mrs. Chavez, Attendance and Discipline

What an incredible first week of school! Our Champions returned with positive attitudes, excitement, and a strong commitment to making this year their best yet. We have already seen students demonstrating respect, responsibility, and kindness while helping create a positive school culture. The Power of We is evident in the way our students support one another and work together to make our school a welcoming place for all. We are proud of the way our Champions have started the year and look forward to celebrating their continued success throughout the year!
