PRINCIPAL'S NOTE

Dear Parents,

Thank you for being part of the excitement with our Back-to-School Event! I hope you all found it an enlightening experience and that you have a clearer understanding of what your child will be studying this school year. I was impressed with the quality of presentations from our faculty and their dedication to student learning. As I mentioned before, the partnership between parents and teachers is an important element in your child’s educational journey. I encourage you to maintain close contact with your child’s teacher and to support your child’s learning at home. Reading with your child each evening and asking questions about what he or she has read will increase your child’s literacy. If English is not your mother tongue, than read to and communicate with your child in your mother tongue as this, too, will increase your child’s literacy skills.

Dr. Rojas has just finished her week with us and has shared her expertise in the area of how all teachers can help ESL students in our classes. She provided strategies for teachers and co-teaching strategies on how the ESL team can work with classroom teachers. All in all, it was an opportunity for teachers to reflect upon how we currently address ESL student needs in the classroom. Dr. Rojas will return in October to work with staff again; and she will also hold a parent workshop on how parents can work with their child on their mother tongue language.

If there is important information that we need to know about your child such as health concerns, custody arrangements or court orders, be sure to check in with the office to ensure that we have the correct information on file. We want to ensure that we have the most recent information so we can focus on your child’s safety.

After-School Activities will start Sunday, so be sure to check online to see in which activity your child has been enrolled. We anticipate another great season of activities for your child, thanks to the efforts of Ms. Ereeny Gawdat, our After-School Activities Coordinator. Be sure to communicate with your child and your child’s teacher how he or she will be going home after the activity. Buses will be running at 4:15 and 5:30.

I look forward to our first CAT meeting Tuesday evening! Thanks to all parents and staff who have volunteered to be on this committee and act as an advisory council for our Elementary School. Also, I must say I am very impressed with the community atmosphere of CAC. The campus is a busy hub for the community and a place where children can play, join activities and learn. Thank you all for creating this wonderful atmosphere!

Sincerely,

Mr. T. Moniz
ES Principal

Positive Behavior Support (PBS) in the ES at CAC

Directly teaching our expectations is one of the many ways we are working to make our ES the most positive place it can be. Below you will find an example of what our faculty/staff and students have been taught about being safe, respectful and responsible. These are the arrival and dismissal times. Next week we will feature the expectations for the walkways and playground.
