What a great week it’s been to be a Firebird here at Camelback!
I hope everyone has had a restful and enjoyable Spring Break 2023! The weather kept some of us indoors this past week, but hopefully it was just what everyone needed to recharge and get ready for the final quarter of the school year. I know our teachers have been hard at work getting ready for this final push to our big test starting on April 3rd. All year we've been talking about being on the Path to "A" Rating and these next few weeks is when it'll be time for our scholars to shine. We want to ensure all of our students are here at school and on time; every minute counts and we can't miss any school, especially once testing starts in April.
I'm sure by now you've heard all about The Mastery Machine! It's our school-wide coordinated focused approach to reviewing the most important content as we prepare for the state assessment. As we're preparing for the test here at the school, there are a few things you can support us by doing at home.
- Make sure attendance is a priority and do not schedule any appointments during school.
- Make sure your student is up early and either has breakfast before arriving to school, or gets to school with enough time to get breakfast. Don't forget, we serve breakfast here at the school between 7:30 and 8:00am daily.
- Be sure to get your student to school on time DAILY (or even a little early), especially on testing days. We open the doors at 7:30am and testing will start promptly at 8:15am.
- It is important for your scholar to get a good night's sleep (research says no later than 9:00pm bedtime for school age children).
- Read communication from your child's teacher and school.
- Talk to your child about testing and offer encouragement - a little goes a long way!
The next few weeks will be quiet here at the school with other activities with everyone; teachers, staff and school leadership all focused on getting ready for the tests and tracking data and celebrating our student's hard work. Kona Ice will be on campus this week as a makeup for the rainy day we had before Spring Break. Our Spring Sports season also kicks off this week with our soccer and basketball teams starting to crank things up.
We're on the path to an "A" rating and it's going to take all of us doing our part each and every day. Together, we can achieve so much!
If you're not already connected with your child's teacher(s) please reach out and get connected with Class Dojo or email and please be sure we have the most up-to-date phone number as well. We need to be working together and the best way to do so is to be connected.
We have so many great things happening every day here at Camelback, the most current information is always on our website, Facebook, Instagram, Class Dojo or in these autodialer messages. #WeAreCamelback
