Good morning, Fins Families,
I hope this email finds you having a relaxing weekend. I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your participation and unwavering support during our recent Hispanic Heritage celebration. Your presence meant the world to our scholars, your children, and our staff, and it was truly heartwarming to see you all present.
The celebration was a tremendous success, largely due to the love and support our scholars and teachers received from our families and friends. It was a joyous occasion where we celebrated Hispanic Heritage and fostered a sense of unity and inclusivity. I am proud to have parents like you who understand the importance of supporting our scholars and honoring the Hispanics roots and passing them to future generations.
Let’s finish this month out strong! We look forward to seeing all of you.
Monday, October 23rd, tutoring begins from 3:30 – 5pm. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays. All scholars that are required to attend have received tutoring forms. If you are unsure if your child must attend tutoring, please contact the front office. I will say that the majority of scholars who have not returned their tutoring forms are in 4th and 5th grade. If your scholar is in these grade levels please inquire with them and the front office.
October 23rd, we will also be hosting our Title 1 meeting at 8 am and at 5 pm. We look forward to seeing you. Please see below for more information.
On October 26th, we will be having our first House Day. If you would like to participate in your scholar’s house activities and assist in building their cardboard box car, please complete your Safe School Training prior to House Day. (See below for further information).
Thank you for those who have donated supplies for our House Day. We are still asking families and friends to please donate the following items as a lot is needed for this house activity. 2 Volunteer Hours will be provided. (See below for donation items)
On October 27th we will be hosting our Truck or Treat even at 6 pm in our parking lot. We have 5 spots available for parent who want to volunteer and decorate their cars for the event. We also are asking you to donate candy. We have a lot but with events like these we want everyone to be able to receive candy regardless the time they arrive. Please contact Ms. Santos at csantos@downtowncharter.org as space is limited and going quick.
Lastly, I would like to continue to encourage you to scroll down to see your scholars grade level monthly newsletters for more information on what your scholar is learning in his/her classroom. Grades will be closing the week of the 23rd so please communicate with your scholar’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns. Fostering open communication is crucial for the success of scholar(s) because it enables both of you to address any concerns, and work together to maintain consistency in routines, expectations, and reinforcement strategies. This consistency will also provide stability and a sense of security for our young scholar, enhancing their learning experience. Most important, when parents and teachers maintain a respectful and cooperative relationship, it models positive behavior for our scholars. Witnessing adults working together fosters a sense of community and collaboration, encouraging your child to develop similar skills in their own interactions.
Thank you always for your continued support.
Nicolas Bardoni
Your Proud Principal
