Dear Parent/Guardian:
I hope that you and your family are enjoying your summer! Back at school, we are
getting ready for the 2025 – 2026 school year.
When our students return to school on Monday, August 25, our teachers will be ready to
greet them and provide new, exciting school experiences. As always, we look forward
to getting to know each and every child, meeting their academic needs, and challenging
them to be the best they can be.
This year, we will begin using a new comprehensive language arts curriculum called
Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA). It is grounded in the Science of Reading and
integrates foundational skills, knowledge building, and daily writing.
We will continue to implement the School Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and
Supports (SWPBIS) program. Students will learn how to be respectful, responsible, and
kind in the classroom, hallway, bathroom, cafeteria, at recess, and on the bus. These
expectations will be explicitly taught to students by their teachers during the first two
weeks of school. Students will have the opportunity to earn reinforcements for their
positive behavior.
The behavioral data collected through discipline reports helps us track behavior patterns
in various environments and re-teach expectations as necessary. We appreciate your
efforts at home to support this endeavor.
In addition to our schoolwide positive behavior program, all classrooms will continue
using Zones of Regulation. This is a conceptual framework to teach students
self-regulation. This will help students recognize and communicate how they are feeling
in a safe, non-judgmental way. We will teach students to use strategies or tools to help
them move between zones (i.e. blue, green, yellow, red).
Upcoming Events
● Kindergarten Orientation: Thursday, August 21, 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.

Have a great rest of the summer, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Sincerely,
Scott Davis, Principal
