MR. MARTIN'S MESSAGE
Thank You and Farewell to our Instructional Coach
At the February 21st meeting, our School Board approved reductions for the 2017-2018 school year. One of the approved reductions involved the elimination of Elementary Instructional Coach positions. Kayla Campa has been our instructional coach over the past three years. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Kayla for all she has done for our school. She has definitely left her positive imprint on our school community. Over the past few years our District has formally adopted new instructional standards and at least four new curricular programs. Each of these changes has necessitated an immense shift in teacher knowledge and practice. With Kayla’s leadership, guidance, and compassion, we have successfully navigated those turbulent waters together. Our journey would have been much more difficult without her support. Although we will lose Kayla’s position as coach next year, we are lucky to keep Kayla the person next year. She is planning on staying on with us as a full-time classroom teacher. As part of Kayla’s full-time job this year, she also works to support our English Language (EL) students and families. We will welcome someone else to fill that position starting next year since Kayla will be stepping back into the classroom. Until then, Kayla will continue in her role as instructional coach and EL teacher for the remainder of this year.
Mr. Martin

STUDENT COUNCIL
Greetings from Student Council!
Thanks to all of those who dressed up for our last spirit day,
we had fun seeing you in costume!
All March, Student Council is encouraging you to support our 'Pennies for the Pound' fundraiser by bringing in whatever you can and donating it to your class box. The money will go to our local Animal Services shelter. The class that raises the most money will get a popsicle party and a visit from a few friendly animals!!! Ask Mr. Morgan or a Student Council member for details.
Remember, you can make a difference at your school and in your community.

BAND BUZZ
Hi all! Concert Music is being passed out so the kids will have PLENTY to practice for the rest of the school year. The band students are really becoming independent musicians and using songs to master rhythms and reading skills. Now we are doing different jobs for each instrument and piecing the different parts together like a puzzle to discover what the music will sound like when put together.
Just a reminder that when we have minimum days,Thursday'sband class meets from1-2 PMafter school andFriday mornings remain the same time.Also, IF a student forgets their music or instrument (it is known to happen once in a while) they can still participate in class so they know what to do when they get home and practice.
Thanks so much for lending me your kids!
