This section of our newsletter includes links to the Bridges Math parent newsletters, designed to help you better understand what your child is learning in math and how it’s being taught in the classroom. These resources offer opportunities to practice and apply new skills at home, including games to play as a family and an overview of your child’s current unit. If you’d like to know which unit your child is working on, please feel free to reach out to their teacher. Families are also encouraged to revisit prior unit activities to review and strengthen learning.

Dear TVUSD Elementary Families,

As the autumn season sets in, our district-wide "Level Up" attendance journey moves into an exciting new realm! October is packed with brand-new subjects, hands-on experiments, and interactive group projects that bring learning to life for our young scholars.

This month, our focus is on encouraging students to discover new passions through active classroom experiences while keeping our daily attendance strong to prevent the early "fall attendance slump."

How to Beat the Fall Slump & Stay Charged Up:

• 🧪 Hands-On Classroom Quests: October features engaging science activities, creative art projects, and collaborative group tasks. These tactile, interactive lessons can't be replicated on a make-up worksheet—showing up in person lets students fully experience the fun!

• 🛡️ Shield Against Seasonal Fatigue: Shorter days and cooler mornings can make waking up a bit tougher. Keeping consistent bedtimes, laying out clothes the night before, and maintaining steady morning routines shield your child from morning rush stress and attendance slumps.

• 🗺️ Explore New Learning Realms: From fresh reading units to interactive math games, everyday attendance gives your child the complete map to explore new subjects and build confidence alongside their classmates.

• 📊 Keep the Streak Alive: Celebrate your child’s weekly attendance milestones! Small daily victories build momentum that carries students smoothly through the fall term.

When students show up every day, they unlock new discoveries and build friendships that make school an exciting place to be. If your family needs support with morning routines, transportation, or seasonal attendance challenges, please contact our front office—we are always here to help your student succeed!

Let’s beat the slump, discover new skills, and Level Up together this fall!

Warmly,

Taylor Lundin, Principal
