October 2017

Fall is in the air! We are leaving behind the hot, humid days of summer and heading toward the cool, crisp days of fall and winter.

With fall and winter and the change of the weather comes cold and flu season. Please check out the block on our website that talks about how to stay healthy during the cooler months. We are working toward having 97% or greater for overall attendance. Illness affects our attendance very dramatically. There is also a block on our website that discusses attendance. Please take a look at it.

Our Back to School Night was a great success. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and enjoy the delicious taco dinner prepared by the Masons, the very busy Book Fair, the Community Resource Fair, and of course, the inspiring and helpful meetings with the teachers. We also talked at our Parent Meeting about ways to get involved with PTA. We have lots of great ideas but will need help to bring them to life. We have a Fall Carnival and Family Movie night scheduled for Friday, October 27, 2017. We would appreciate any and all parents who would be willing to help to contact your child's teacher as soon as possible.

Our main goal is to make sure our students are safe. Please talk with your students about what is and is not safe behavior. It is very important that we all feel safe and comfortable here at school so that our main focus is to learn.

The most important rules to reinforce at home are:

* Keep hands, feet and body to yourself!
* Listen to the adults on campus and follow instructions!
* Do your work!
* Behave in a safe way!

All of our classroom rules fall into these four categories!

Please check out our entire website for information about things happening in our school! If you have suggestions for how we can make this an even better school, please let us know. Better yet, get involved in our parent program! "Many hands make light work!"

With something to think about and a WHOLE LOT of Thunderbolt PRIDE, see you all around campus!

Go Thunderbolts!

How to Resolve Conflict

6 months ago

A while back we had a wonderful assembly about conflict management for our students put on by Kaiser Permanente called "It's Stop Time!" The Kaiser Permanente performance group also came and talked with our parents about stress. It was called "One Minute!" The same message was delivered to our parents as it was to our students. Some of our upper graders even attended with our parents, which was wonderful! Our families learned that when they find themselves in a difficult situation that they should STOP, BREATHE (for One Minute!) and CHOOSE! As we are considering our choices, we should THINK before we speak or act! As we THINK, we ask ourselves:

Is it True or Trustworthy?

Is it Helpful?

Is it Inspiring or Important?

Is it Necessary?

Is it Kind?

If our CHOICE is not any of these, we should not say it or do it!

Illness and Attendance

Illness proves to be a great challenge for attendance during the late fall and winter months. Our school nurse, Nurse Arlene, asked us to please remind everyone, especially our students, to cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue. Especially
important is washing your hands or using hand sanitizer after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. In addition, she recommends that we drink plenty of water and choose nutritious foods rather than junk food and candy to help keep our bodies
healthy during cold and flu season. Finally, citrus fruits help provide us with needed vitamin C during this time of year.

Every school district that receives federal funding is required to designate and/or adequately train at least one employee to coordinate the recipient’s Title IX responsibilities. Title IX regulations also require the name and contact information of each Title IX Coordinator be made public by the educational institution. The Hueneme Elementary School District affirms its commitment to equality of opportunity for all individuals. This commitment requires that no discrimination shall occur regarding admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, any program and activity on the basis of age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, citizenship, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, medical condition, religion, or marital status.

Complaints alleging noncompliance with Title IX can be filed by utilizing the Uniform Complaint Procedures (UCP) as identified in California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Sections 4600 et. seq. and Hueneme Elementary School District Policy BP 1312.3 and should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator:

Attendance

Our district attendance goal is 97%! But we know we can do better than that! Let's aim higher! We can do it!
Research shows that student attendance has a major impact on how well a child does in school.
Each week that a class reaches perfect attendance (including NO TARDIES!), our classes receive one letter in the word ATTENDANCE. When the class has
completely spelled the word ATTENDANCE, the class receives a prize. Please see the website for more details. Our students and teachers worked very hard to have perfect attendance each day. Tardies continue to be a great challenge. As we tell the
students, "Don't be late; be here BEFORE 8:00!" The exterior gates are close at 7:55 a.m. Any students arriving after 7:55 a.m. will need to enter through the office. As long as they are in their classroom before 8:00 a.m. the students are on time. We understand that it is often very difficult to get your children up and to school every day,
especially during the cooler winter months, and we definitely cannot have excellent attendance at our school without you. We appreciate your assistance in helping our children to be responsible and learn the good habit of punctuality and promptness. The GREAT news is the Saturday Attendance Academy does work! Please see the Saturday Attendance Academy block for more information!!!
