Reminder: Schools are closed on Monday, Sept 25 in observance of Yom Kippur
Good afternoon, Van Fam! It was a great week! Today, we held our first Circle Up Day!!! Students participated in community building circles, and the topic was safety, because it is our PBIS character trait of the month and one of our "3 Be's." Please partner with us by discussing what "safe" looks and feels like at school and in the community!
REMINDER:
There is no school on Monday, September 25 in observance of Yom Kippur.
LOOKING FORWARD:
*. October 6: Emergency Early Release Day. All students will be dismissed 15 minutes early
*. October 9: No School/Indigenous Peoples' Day or Columbus Day
Good Morning, Van Fam! This week we will be starting our Second Step Social Emotional Learning Curriculum. People with strong social emotional skills are better able to cope with every day challenges. Our curriculum teaches problem solving, self discipline, impulse control, and emotional management - the skills needed to be a scholar and a good friend!
Additionally, this week, the window for the iReady assessment opens. Your child in grades K-5 will be assessed in both literacy and math skills. The results from this assessment will help us to plan for instruction and make sure students are getting instruction that is crafted specifically for them!
It's going to be a great week at Van!
