Además, recuerden que hay múltiples perspectivas ante cualquier situación. Todos (familias, niños y personal) estamos haciendo todo lo posible para asegurarnos de que cada niño reciba todo lo que necesita para tener éxito. Cuando no entendemos o no recibimos toda la información, es fácil reaccionar. Solo les pedimos que nos tomemos el tiempo para obtener toda la información y poder responder. Cada año, las expectativas académicas son mayores y requiere un tiempo de adaptación. Nuestros niños pueden lograrlo. A veces, simplemente será difícil y eso está bien. Los estamos preparando para la vida. A veces, podemos enviarles práctica adicional para que la completen o puede que tengan que terminar cosas que no hicieron en clase. Ya sé, No Homework Campus, pero a veces es necesario.
Gracias por todo su apoyo mientras gestionamos todo.
Por favor, usen este SMORE para reservar fechas importantes. Este será nuestro principal medio de comunicación.
Para obtener toda la información de la PTA, visiten somosridgetop.com.
Si necesitan contactarme, el correo electrónico es la mejor opción. kara.schultz@austinisd.org. También pueden llamar a la escuela al 512-414-4469.
Amor de cascabels,

Howdy, Rattlers,

¡Sí podemos!
Also, please remember that there are multiple perspectives to any given situation. We are all(families, kids and staff)doing our very best to make sure that each kiddo is getting everything that they need to be successful. When we don't understand or don't get all the information, it can be easy to react. We would just ask that we work on taking time to get all the information to be able to respond. Each year, the academic expectations are greater and it does take some adjusting. Our kids can do it. Sometimes, it just will be hard and that's really ok. We are getting them ready for life. We may at times send home some extra practice for them to complete or they may have to finish up stuff not done in class-I know, No Homework Campus, but sometimes it's necessary.
Thank you for all your support as we navigate all the things.
Please use this SMORE to save some important dates.
This will be our main method of communication.

This year, we will be taking a step back and refocusing on our Rattler Principles-Ridgetop Rattlers are Safe, Kind and Responsible. Attached you will find the expectations for all areas of our building. Please review these with your kiddos as we begin this year. We want to make sure all students have a kind, safe and responsible space to learn and grow. Classrooms will work together to develop the expectations that they have for each other on how to be safe, kind and responsible.
