Academics
Students are continuing to work hard in the classroom as we move deeper into the spring semester. This month, teachers will focus on reinforcing key skills, preparing students for upcoming assessments, and encouraging goal-setting and perseverance. We appreciate your support at home by checking grades regularly and encouraging daily reading.
Kindness Month
In February we will focus on kindness, respect, and positive relationships. We will continue to highlight character education and celebrate students who demonstrate responsibility, empathy, and leadership throughout the month. Kindness Week is February 17-20.
Attendance Matters
Every day counts! Regular attendance plays a key role in student success. Please continue to help us by ensuring your child arrives at school on time and ready to learn.
Thank You for Your Support!
We are grateful for our amazing families and the support you provide each day. Together, we are building a positive, safe, and successful learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, my door is always open. Let’s make the rest of the year even more amazing!
Ms. Perez
