Principal's Message
Dear Families,
I hope you are enjoying this three day weekend and I hope to see you bright and early this Tuesday.
I would also like to bring your attention to Attendance Awareness Month, which is in full swing. It is essential for students to attend regularly to make the most of their education. As part of our efforts to promote attendance, we have organized weekly Wednesday activities to engage both students and parents. We encourage all families to participate and help spread the importance of attendance throughout the community. We were chosen to host the September 27th, event. The district will capture video and pictures of that morning school arrival. We want to make it as special as possible. Please, be on time and participate on the dress up day.
I kindly request all parents to complete the parent survey. Your feedback is crucial in helping us enhance our school's performance and address any concerns you may have. Please note that our campus name is towards the end of the list, so please look for it carefully while filling out the survey.
Additionally, I want to express my gratitude for ensuring your child come to school in uniform every day. We understand that some of you may still be waiting for your child's uniform. If that is the case, kindly email me, and I will assist you in resolving the issue promptly.
Lastly, I would like to remind you to review the uniform policy and ensure that your child is wearing appropriate uniform and footwear. This is to ensure their safety as improper shoes can lead to injuries. Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated. please see the approved uniform policy here
Thank you again for your continued support and partnership in creating a conducive learning environment for our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the education and well-being of our children.
Sincerely,
Dr. G

Morning Meeting
Responsive Classroom Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically. Each morning, students and teachers gather together in a circle for twenty to thirty minutes and interact with one another during four purposeful components:
Greeting: Students and teachers greet one another by name.
Sharing: Students share information about important events in their lives. Listeners often offer empathetic comments or ask clarifying questions.
Group Activity: Everyone participates in a brief, lively activity that fosters group cohesion and helps students practice social and academic skills (for example, reciting a poem, dancing, singing, or playing a game).
