Hi Students!
Check out this Resource Day brochure to introduce you to your Music, Art, Hawaiian Studies, PE, Coding and Social Emotional Learning Instructors! Resources for grades 2-4 start this week MONDAY (grade 3 was moved from Friday to Monday since there is no school Friday). Share this with your parents to let them know what exciting learning will be taking place on these special days. Your teachers will remind you when it will be your resource day.
We follow the same Tribes expectations in our resource day classrooms that we have with your regular classroom teachers. Some of you may be joining combo classes on these days. Please make your teacher proud of you by participating and following all of our school wide agreements.
Please remember to use our recess equipment safely and handle all with care. We want everyone to enjoy recess time without getting hurt. Be safe and take care of yourself, others and OUR STUFF!!
Have an amazing 4 day week! No School this Friday!
