October 3, 2024 Happy Thursday, Quail Families, On Monday we had our first whole school assembly of the year, where we celebrated our students being confident and kind. We reviewed our expectations and, of course, did our QR chant. We are also working on introducing our character trait of the month: patience. We're excited to teach, model, and highlight our students and staff as they exhibit this important trait. This month book, is Masala Chai, Fast and Slow. It is such a beautiful and cute book that teaches students about Patience.
This week, we also took a moment to recognize and appreciate our amazing custodial staff on National Custodian Day. Their hard work and dedication ensure our school is always clean and safe for our students and staff. Thank you for all that you do!
