Dear Families,
As we step into November, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your continued partnership, energy, and support. This month offers a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our school community by focusing on how we uplift, recognize, and show appreciation for one another both at school and at home.
Behavior Focus This Week: Gratitude & Appreciation
This week, we are helping students actively recognize and express gratitude throughout the day. We are encouraging children to notice the positive actions of their peers, teachers, and family members. You can support this at home by asking your child during dinner or bedtime check-ins: "What is one kind thing someone did for you today?" or "Who is someone you'd like to thank today?"
Character Words of the Month: Generosity & Gratitude
Throughout November, teachers will thread these core values into daily classroom conversations:
Generosity (Giving Back): Students will explore sharing their time, encouragement, and support with others through collaborative projects and everyday acts of kindness.
Gratitude (Recognizing the Good): We are encouraging students to write thank-you notes, give peer shout-outs, and acknowledge the efforts of everyone in our community.
Home & School Connection
Taking time to pause and reflect on what we are thankful for builds empathy and resilience in children. We invite you to join us in practicing simple daily gratitude moments at home—whether through sharing a favorite moment from the day or writing a quick thank-you note to a friend, neighbor, or family member.
Thank you for everything you do to make our school community such a warm and supportive place for our students to grow. Wishing your family a wonderful week ahead and a thankful November!
Warmly,
Mrs. Elisondo
Principal
Please Donate to Our Costume Closet!
If you aren't sure what to do with your child's costume now that Halloween is over, please consider donating it to our Costume Closet. We will allow other students in our school to "borrow" them if parents aren't able to provide a costume, so they can be used for the next few years. Ask your child to give it to their teacher and the teacher will get it to us. Thank you!
Welcome to this month’s Counselor Corner!
Dear Families,
As we step into this month, we are focusing on gratitude—which simply means taking time to notice, acknowledge, and appreciate the good things in our lives, both big and small. Practicing gratitude helps children (and adults!) build resilience, boost happiness, and nurture positive relationships by shifting our perspective toward kindness and hope.
I am continuing to visit classrooms for short Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons, as well as meeting with small student groups. It has been wonderful seeing our students engage, share, and support one another as they learn skills for managing feelings, building friendships, and practicing mindfulness.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support at home. Wishing you and your family a warm and grateful month ahead!
Warmly,
Jessica Baza
School Counselor, Nipomo Elementary School

Queridas familias,
Al comenzar este mes, nos estamos enfocando en la gratitud, lo que simplemente significa tomarse un tiempo para notar, reconocer y apreciar las cosas buenas de nuestras vidas, tanto las grandes como las pequeñas. Practicar la gratitud ayuda a los niños (¡y a los adultos!) a desarrollar resiliencia, aumentar la felicidad y cultivar relaciones positivas al cambiar nuestra perspectiva hacia la amabilidad y la esperanza.
Sigo visitando los salones de clases para ofrecer breves lecciones de Aprendizaje Socioemocional (SEL, por sus siglas en inglés), además de reunirme con pequeños grupos de estudiantes. Ha sido maravilloso ver a nuestros estudiantes participar, compartir y apoyarse mutuamente mientras aprenden habilidades para manejar emociones, forjar amistades y practicar la atención plena (mindfulness).
Gracias por su continua colaboración y apoyo desde casa. ¡Les deseo a usted y a su familia un cálido mes lleno de gratitud!
