Principal's Weekly Howler: September 9, 2024

Campus Updates & Reminders:

Next week we will be hosting our annual Back to School Night event. This is a great opportunity for you to hear from your child’s teacher about what’s in store for the year ahead. Each teacher will have a prepared presentation and time to answer general questions. If you have specific questions or concerns pertaining to your child, please make sure to set up a separate meeting with the teacher on another date. This event will be held on Wednesday, September 11th. TK through 3rd grade teachers will present from 5:30-6:15 and 4th through 6th grade teachers will present from 6:30-7:15. There will not be a message in the quad prior to the sessions, so please head directly to your child’s classroom at the designated start time.

We encourage this as an opportunity for parents to connect with the classroom teacher, but understand that a babysitter for your child(ren) is not always an option. Please also note that there will not be any supervision provided by the school for children during this event.

PTO Message:

We love volunteers and have lots of great opportunities to get involved that work with many schedules. The PTO is made up entirely of volunteers- family members like you! It takes a village to plan, organize, and support our school community. Help with administrative tasks on your own time, volunteer for a short event shift, or take on leadership roles. Sign up for opportunities at https://korematsupto.org/volunteer

PTO will be on hand during Back to School Night to sell Coyote gear! If you are looking to purchase a school shirt for your student, this is a great time to do it. If you are in need of a sponsorship to purchase a shirt for your child, please email Mrs. Andrews directly at [email protected], and she will set up that process for you.

Social Justice Corner:

We had a wonderful kick off to Hispanic Heritage Month! Students learned about important Hispanic American figures, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. To learn more about these social justice heroes, you can visit these websites: https://mail.ducksters.com/biography/cesar_chavez.php
