Principal's Message:
Good afternoon, Teddy families,
About twenty years ago, due to a number of real and perceived threats in New York City, an ad campaign ran throughout the city, "If you see something, say something." This week has offered a number of opportunities for students to show their maturity and leadership and to say something when they saw something.
Being RHS (Respectful, Honorable, and Safe) means that students will alert a trusted adult when they know something unsafe is happening, it means that students will let us know when a classmate needs help, it means students help one another by using their voice.
As a reminder to students and families, if there is ever a physical altercation or health emergency, pulling out your phone as a bystander to record the situation may be punishable as per MPS policy. Sharing videos or pictures of incidents on social media will also result in consequences. Please reinforce this message with your students at home to ensure we all create the most caring community we can.
Please remember that Parent Teacher Conferences are next week on Tuesday, October 18th, from 4-8pm in the Main Gym and Wednesday, October 19th from 8am-12pm virtually and 1-4pm in the Main Gym.
Have a restful weekend,
Principal Ledesma

Buenas tardes, familias Teddy,
Hace unos veinte años, debido a una serie de amenazas reales y percibidas en la ciudad de Nueva York, se realizó una campaña publicitaria en toda la ciudad: "Si ves algo, di algo". Esta semana ha ofrecido una serie de oportunidades para que los estudiantes muestren su madurez y liderazgo y digan algo cuando vean algo.
Ser RHS (Respetuoso, Honorable y Seguro) significa que los estudiantes alertarán a un adulto de confianza cuando sepan que algo inseguro está sucediendo, significa que los estudiantes nos informarán cuando un compañero de clase necesite ayuda, significa que los estudiantes se ayudan unos a otros usando su voz.
Como recordatorio para los estudiantes y las familias, si alguna vez hay un altercado físico o una emergencia de salud, sacar su teléfono como espectador para grabar video de la situación puede ser punible según la política de MPS. Compartir videos o imágenes de incidentes en las redes sociales también tendrá consecuencias. Por favor, refuerce este mensaje con sus estudiantes en casa para asegurarse de que todos creemos la comunidad más solidaria que podamos.
Recuerde que las Conferencias de Padres y Maestros son la próxima semana el martes 18 de octubre, de 4 a 8 p.m. en el gimnasio principal y el miércoles 19 de octubre de 8 a.m. a 12 p.m. virtualmente y de 1 a 4 p.m. en el gimnasio principal.
Que tengan un buen fin de semana de descanso,
Director Ledesma

Galab wanaagsan, qoysaska Teddy,
Abbaaraha labaatan sano ka hor, hanjabaado dhab ah oo dhab ah oo laga arimisanaa magaalada New York awgeed, olole xayeysiis ah ayaa magaalada oo dhan ka dhacay , "Haddii aad wax aragtid, wax dheh wax dheh".

Sidoo kale in fiidiyowyada lala wadaago ama sawirrada dhacdooyinka lagu faafiyo baraha bulshada ayaa sidoo kale keeni doona cawaaqib xumo. Fadlan xoojiso fariintan ardaydaada gurigaaga si loo hubiyo in aan dhamaanteen abuurno bulshada ugu daryeelka badan ee aan awoodno.
Fadlan xusuusnow in Shirarka Macalimiinta Waalidiinta yihiin toddobaadka soo socda on Tuesday, October 18, laga bilaabo 4-8pm ee Main Gym iyo Arbacada, 19 October laga bilaabo 8am-12pm ku dhawaad iyo 1-4pm ee Main Gym.
