Hoot Off The Press
WEEK OF March 30th
Dear Families,
As we move into the final stretch of the school year, our focus on high-rigor instruction and student achievement is stronger than ever. To ensure every student has the best opportunity to reach their goals, we want to emphasize two key ways our Owls show Respect (the "R" in S.O.A.R.) each day:
Respecting the Lesson: One of the best ways students can show respect to their teachers and peers is by listening during instruction and avoiding talking while others are teaching. This simple act of self-control ensures that everyone can focus, learn, and be successful during our critical reading and math blocks.
Respecting the Hallways: We also ask that students remain quiet while transitioning through the building.When classes pass by with loud voices, it interrupts the deep learning happening in other classrooms. Keeping "voices off" in the hall allows every student at Winchester Avenue to continue their work without distraction.
We encourage you to have conversations at home about the importance of respect and self-control. These small actions make a big difference in creating the safe, focused, and supportive environment our students deserve.
Thank you for your continued partnership in helping us maintain a strong learning environment for every student!
Go Owls! 🦉
