Week of 4.29.19
Hello Brave Community!
Happy Tuesday! I am so excited about all of the exceptional
teaching and learning that is happening at Double File. Yesterday we received our results from the
first round of STAAR testing. I am
pleased to report that our students performed well. We definitely exceeded the performance goal
that we set at the beginning of the school year. Congratulations to our 5th grade
teachers and students.
As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven
Habits of Highly Effective People each week. Our habit of the week this week is Habit 2:
Begin with the End in Mind! We teach
and model for our students how to plan ahead and set goals. We emphasize the importance of being
prepared.
Word of
the Week (WOW):
This week’s word is “resourceful”. It
is an adjective that means to be able to find clever ways to solve problems. Partner with us in focusing on our campus
WOW. Ask your student to use the word in a sentence or perhaps you
could be very intentional in your use of our word. Thanks for your
participation!
Coffee with the Principal:
Please join me for my next Coffee and
Conversation on Friday, May 3, 2019. I am very much interested in
getting to know you better, as well providing an opportunity for you to get to
know me better. We will begin immediately following announcements at
7:45 a.m.
From Nurse Debbie:
Please pick up the
medication by the end of the school day on May 23, 2019.
No medication will be sent home with a student and
no medication will be left in the nurse’s office over the summer. If left, it will be disposed of properly
