Principals Principles

It is hard to believe it is October already! Students have settled into their new classrooms, and new friendships continue to form. We are pleased with the improving attendance, hard work, and growth at this point in our year. Our faculty is working very intentionally to meet the needs of each of our students daily.

Thank you parents, grandparents, and other family members for attending our most recent Parents In Education Night. Our events and programs we have had, and will be having are only successful because of your participation and support.

Remain involved- Get to know your child’s teacher and let her/him know of any concerns or worries your child may have. Teachers can be contacted informally with a phone call at the school, Class Dojo, email, or note. 

Keep the communication flowing with your child by asking specific questions and showing interest in your child’s school day, for example: What new words did you learn today? What technology did you use? What did you learn in STEM today? How did your recent writing assignment turn out? Phrasing questions in this way will allow a more complete picture as to all that goes into a 6.5 hour school day, and trust me….. there is so much learning that takes place.

Help your child be organized by creating a routine. If he/she always does homework in the same place at the same time, it will become a healthy pattern.  Spend 20 minutes each night reading with your child. This is a wonderful way to share special time together. Go to the library and get your child his/her very own library card, what a great way to encourage a lifetime love of reading! There are so many ways that we can work together both at home and school to enhance your child’s experience.

Lastly, please save the date for our upcoming parent-teacher conferences on November 8th-11th. These will be scheduled early out days to allow for individual appointments with your child’s teacher. The focus will be on each child’s growth and improvement from our recent Parents In Education Night. Our desire is to have 100% of our Coral Canyon Families in attendance. Please help us reach this important goal.
