April 2018


Welcome to April!  Thank you to all of our staff, parents and students for the hard work that has been done so far this school year!  Thank you to all of our stakeholders for completing the LCAP Survey.  We appreciate your opinions, ideas and support!


We will be out for Spring Break until April 15.  Classes will return on April 16 at regular time.  


We are beginning our testing season.  First we will have our grade 5 students taking the California Healthy Kids Survey.  The results of this survey help us to make sure that we are doing all we can to create and maintain a safe and healthy learning environment for all of our students.  Our grade 5 students will also take the physical fitness test.  Our third grade students will experience taking our new Gifted and Talented Test (GATE) test toward the end of the month.  Beginning after Spring Break, we have our California Science Test (CAST) and our California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).  Please watch for information about when each of these tests are given.  Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a good breakfast on those days. 


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.

 All of our classroom rules fall into four main categories! The most important rules to reinforce at home are:

* Keep hands, feet, body, and other objects to yourself!

* Listen to the adults on campus and follow instructions!

* Do your work! 

* Behave in a safe way! 


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

12 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 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.
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!!!
