Week of 8.20.19
Hello Brave Community!
We are off to an amazing start of the 2019-2020 school year and I am so
excited about all of the greatness that we will achieve this year! Our goal is to provide an exceptional
teaching and learning experience for all of our Brave 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 “INSPIRE”! It is a verb that means to encourage someone
to do something. 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!
Arrival and
Dismissal:
Our doors open each morning at 7:10
a.m. This is when we begin welcoming
students into the building to either enjoy breakfast or head directly to their
grade level hallway. Students who arrive
prior to 7:30 a.m. will be able to go into the classrooms to engage in morning
learning activities or simply read quietly.
Our school day officially begins at 7:40 a.m. Students are considered tardy if they enter
the building after 7:45 a.m. Please help
maximize your child’s learning experience by getting him/her to school on
time. Thanks!
Our school day ends at 2:55 p.m. Please continue to be patient with us these
first weeks of school during dismissal.
Our main objective during dismissal is to get students home safely. At the beginning of the school year this
simply takes longer. Thanks for your
patience, cooperation and understanding.

My Belief:
I consider it a privilege
and a blessing to serve the Double File Trail Elementary Community as the
principal. I believe in our students and
their ability to achieve excellence in education. I want to partner with you to
make this happen. Please don’t hesitate
to reach out to me or any member of my team in support of your child’s
education. We are ALL here to support
and encourage our students to BE BRAVE, CHOOSE KIND and LEAD ON!
