A happy dance for our last week before Spring Break!

 

unnamedShouts-outs are in order for:
•  Everyone who gave time to support the WASC accreditation process
•  All teachers and TAs for organizing a meaningful day of Learning Journeys for your students and their families.
•  The EAL team for providing terrific training to TAs. 
•  The Extended Grade 3 team for their SuperUnit Nature Tales learning celebration

Nuts & Bolts:

Yearbook Photo Retakes: Please be sure to check the Photo Retakes link to see if you or your students need to take a yearbook photo on Tuesday

A New ES Staff Member: We are delighted to welcome our new G1 TA, Mr. Vũ NGUYỄN. Please give him a warm ES “Hello,” if you seem him on campus!

 

Student Personal Possessions:  In order to maintain a pleasant and efficient learning environment, we have established the guidelines for students bringing personal possessions to school. Please see the Navigator – Student Personal Possessions for the details.

ES Yearbook: Many, many thanks to all who have already submitted their photos and short descriptive paragraphs. The yearbook is coming along! Classroom teachers, if you have not already done so, I looked forward to seeing your pictures and paragraphs by Friday, March 31.

EARCOS: Please note that I will be off campus all week to attend EARCOS. Melissa, Jacob, Kattina, and Alli will also be out a few days this week for EARCOS.  

Wishing everyone an awesome week. – Roxanne
