Spirit week was a success, student Saidah Brown suggested that the students be given more time to prepare for Spirit Week since the students were only given the notice a couple of days in advance.
Parent and Family engagement updates:
Parent Academy Workshops turnout has not been as successful as expected. Parent Maria Rivas suggested that the time of the workshop alternate between morning and afternoons since some parents may not be able to attend due to work schedules.
It was suggested that an electronic message sign would be beneficial to have in front of our school to keep parents updated on events such as the Parent Academy, but Ms. Lima advised that this type of machine is very expensive. The schools that do have an electronic sign have it from PTA donations.
