Winter School Spirit Days 2021 2.pdf
Join us this December as we celebrate the holidays and welcome the winter season.
Notes from Mrs. Murillo
November 2021
Dear Families,
Can you believe we are already bringing closure to November? As we get ready to enter December, the days will get darker earlier and temperatures will soon get much colder. Please make sure your children dress appropriately for the change in weather as their scheduled Gym will continue to take place outdoors.
We began the year assessing students and getting to know them as we continue to build relationships. Our second round of assessments has now taken place and teacher teams are spending a great deal of time comparing various September data to current data as we continue to strengthen our core curriculum, monitor student progress and provide supports to students. Teachers will also continue to engage in virtual meetings and phone conferences on family engagement Tuesdays to share student Glows and Grows as your children continue on their learning path. Our school Initiative: Partners with Families Partners in Learning, is our driving force behind this work as parent involvement in their child’s education is a clear indicator of student success.
We are working collaboratively with our School Support Team, teachers, Literacy Coach, School Leadership Team and PTA to begin to schedule some family workshops. Each workshop is selected based on the feedback we receive from parents and our staff. These workshops will provide you with strategies aligned to our various curriculums so you can continue to support your children at home. Please be on the lookout for these fliers as our goal is to continue to support our families as partners in your child’s learning.
How are we supporting students?
Here is a Glimpse:

We are currently searching for a research based math support program…Other programs may evolve throughout the year. Some take place during the school day and others after school. We will keep you informed of all offerings as they evolve. This is just a glimpse into all we are doing to provide your children with rich learning experiences and supports.
December Spirit Days are coming! The Winter Solstice (first day of winter) begins on December 21, 2021. Next week we hope to send home a calendar of all School Spirit days for the month of December. All classes will also engage children in decorating their classroom door around the theme of Winter Magic!
December PTA Meeting: Our December Virtual PTA Meeting will take place on December 14, 2021 at 2:45 pm. We will recognize recipients of the Student of the Month for academic excellence in the area of Reading. Citizens of the Month will be recognized for serving as a role model in the area of Respect for All as they continue to demonstrate kindness. The code to join the virtual meeting in the Google platform is: ps38rpta.
Lastly, as Thanks Giving approaches I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our families for entrusting your children to us. They are all unique and amazing and truly make our hearts smile!!!!!
