Week of 3.2.20
Hello Brave Community!
Happy wet Wednesday! There is so much positive energy in the
air. I am excited to share that this Friday
is Leadership Day! We will showcase for
our families and community how we integrate the 7 Habits of Happy Kids into our school
culture.
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 6: Synergize! We teach our students the value of working
together with others. We provide
opportunities for teamwork among students because we know that they can get more
done when working with a group than working alone.
Leadership Day on 3.6.20!:
I am so excited to announce that Leadership Day is coming! Student
leaders will lead a Pep Rally to celebrate the amazing energy and spirit we
share at Double File Trail Elementary. Before or after the Pep Rally, parents
will have the opportunity to visit their child's classroom to engage in a
Student-Led Conference where students share their goals and celebrations.
Visitors who do not have a child attending Double File Trail will have the
opportunity to go on a tour led by student leaders. If you would like to have
more information about Leadership Day, please contact Nikita Olguin at nikita_olguin@roundrockisd.org We look forward to seeing you on March 6th! Please use this link to RSVP.

Word of the Week (WOW):
This week’s word is “STUPENDOUS”. It
is an adjective that means amazing or impressive. 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!
