Message from Jeff Kubiak, Principal

Hello All!

Early March marks the end of our grading period for the second trimester. Parent conferences will be scheduled on March 16th, 17th, and 18th for those students who are performing below standards, or as needed. Please check with your children to see how they are progressing on their goals.
The school year is zooming by, with only about 56 days remaining! Please continue to do your best with bringing you child to school ON TIME, and EVERY DAY! Attendance is not only important ALL year, but especially as we near Spring Break and end of year activities and assessments.

Our Monthly Pyramid Trait is “TEAM SPIRIT”, which is nicely defined as: “feelings of camaraderie among the members of a group, enabling them to cooperate and work well together”.

The next Parent/Principal Coffee chat is on April 11th, from 8:15-9:00am. I hope more than 3 people attend. I really appreciate and enjoy the ability to share news and updates with all parents.

Please keep the following dates open: April 12 for Family Science Night, April 20 for Family Reading Night, and May 20 for our ANNUAL COYOTE HOWL fundraiser and night of awesomeness!

Thanks for all you do!
Mr. K

ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT!!

Daily attendance is very important at all grade levels.  A child who is not at school is not receiving the step-by-step instruction that is needed for optimal learning.   Absences are excused for illness, dentist or doctor appointments, and a death in the immediate family.   Any other absence is an unexcused absence.   When your child is absent, please notify the school office of the reason or send a note with your child upon his/her return to school.   All absences that are not verified will automatically become unexcused.   Tardiness not only causes your child to miss instruction, but also distracts the rest of the class, as the teacher has to repeat instructions when the class is interrupted. In case of tardiness, the child must check into the office for a tardy slip before reporting to class.

  CONGRATULATIONS to Kada Richardson, 4th grader here at Cordelia Hills.  She will be participating in the Solano County Spelling Bee tonight, March 7th.  We wish her the BEST!
