Information for Students
Show your appreciation to your teachers this week!  Even the smallest token of appreciation helps your teachers know how much you value what they do for you every day.  Sending a small note, helping your teacher in the classroom or even just saying THANK YOU will help brighten their day!

Please leave ALL personal TOYS at home.  Lately students have been bringing in toys that are NOT ALLOWED on campus OR in A+.  You will be asked to put your toys away and if you do not comply, your toy may be taken from you for your parents to pick up.

Grade 4 and 5 Students:  
Thank you to the students who have taken on the Kindness Bucket Filling Challenge.  As a reminder, your bucket fillers should include a meaningful comment such as:
*I liked it when you….
*I admire you for….
*Your actions helped me when…
*I’m glad you are….
*I want to share my appreciation for you because…
We will be continuing this challenge for 1 more week before the drawing for a class pizza party!  You can acknowledge teachers, staff, students, siblings, etc…
Here are the top  classes after week 2:  Ms. Stevens, Ms. Castro and Ms. Stockwell/Mr. Depolis (tie).  

Keep filling those buckets!  Didn’t get one? Didn’t write one?  It’s not too late-get started on filling others’ and your own buckets by being kind!  Teachers have been providing bucket fillers to students as they go into lunch to help encourage them to write.  The cafeteria staff also has bucket fillers that students can request. Keep it going! After this week all classes who have participated will have the chance to be in the drawing for the pizza party!  The more you fill buckets, the more chances you will have!

SBA is HERE for our grades 3-5 students!  This is a very important time of year for us to assess how much you have grown academically over the school year. Take all assessments seriously and show us how smart you are! Get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast to be ready for your assessments! Focus on MATH this week!

This Wednesday marks Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to take a moment to sincerely recognize and thank our exceptional office staff. Their dedication and support extend far beyond the expected, touching every corner of our school. From cheerfully greeting families – both the friendly and the more challenging – to ensuring the smooth execution of every event, our office team is truly the backbone of our school. They arrive early, stay late, manage our supplies, process our paychecks and scan our lunches, and, above all, always help to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for all that you do! In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers. Our PCNC, Kilohana Motas, and our active PTA work tirelessly to create meaningful volunteer opportunities that benefit our entire school.
