PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We have two full weeks of learning left before we wrap up 2024. Please send your students to school any day that they are not sick, and don't hesitate to reach out if there are ways we can help your family with school attendance.
I hope your winter holiday plans are filled with family time and rest. There will be 16 non-school days before we see you back on January 6th. I encourage you to limit the amount of time your student is in front of screens. We know that independent play is really important for students' cognitive, social, and emotional development. Independent play is independent of adult direction and is best when it includes peers of similar age. I also encourage you to make good use of sunny moments and send your student outside to play.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!

MENSAJE DE LA DIRECTORA
Estimados padres y tutores:
Nos quedan dos semanas completas de aprendizaje antes de finalizar el año 2024. Envíe a sus estudiantes a la escuela cualquier día que no estén enfermos y no dude en comunicarse si hay formas en que podamos ayudar a su familia con la asistencia a la escuela.
Espero que sus planes de vacaciones de invierno estén llenos de tiempo en familia y descanso. Habrá 16 días sin clases antes de que los veamos de nuevo el 6 de enero. Los aliento a que limiten la cantidad de tiempo que su estudiante pasa frente a las pantallas. Sabemos que el juego independiente es muy importante para el desarrollo cognitivo, social y emocional de los estudiantes. El juego independiente es independiente de la dirección de un adulto y es mejor cuando incluye compañeros de edad similar. También los aliento a que aprovechen bien los momentos soleados y envíen a su estudiante a jugar afuera.
¡Espero que tengas un lindo fin de semana!

If you’re ever lucky enough to tag along with Tom Myers and his bird club at Skyline School, you’ll most likely notice a few things: that Skyline in the early morning can be a breathtakingly beautiful place, and that if you have a question about birds – or the natural world in general – the man his students call “Teacher Tom” can almost certainly answer it.
èßäapp¹ÙÍø is hosting a series of events that focus on Belonging, Equity & Inclusive Practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries aimed at starting a productive conversation about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.
As part of this series, we are excited to welcome you to a live virtual event, , on Monday, October 28 at 5:30 PM at . The event will include a screening of Dan Habib’s film, “Including Samuel,” and a conversation with him and his son, Samuel.
The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to èßäapp¹ÙÍø administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”
The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.
èßäapp¹ÙÍø’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance.
The renewable, school-based mental health grant will be used to provide comprehensive school psychology services to 18 Title I schools across the district for the 2024-25 school year. This is up from 11 schools served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.
