It is a new quarter! Missing assignments from the 1st quarter are not included in the missing assignment report. This is a great opportunity for students to apply their time management skills learned in the first quarter so they can participate in upcoming worker’s holidays for those who have all assignments turned in and a score of 80% or better on those assignments. In a recent news article a coach of a youth lacrosse team sent an email to parents lamenting that players were more focused on Fortnight than the game. In addition to time management we want students to learn to be present and in the moment. Talk with your students about doing things at the right time and in the right place! Thank you, parents, for all of your help and support! We had a blast on Volcano Day and loved having so many of you attend the event.  South Elementary Eagles Soar! The next newsletter will be available on Wednesday, November 14th.

 Mr. Sahagun, Mrs. Little, Mrs. Payne, and Mrs. Williams
