As part of our new
Dragon Code program, stu
dents began earning "Dragon Scales" for
sho
wing positive behavior. All of the earned Dragon Scales, each displaying a student name, are added to our new Miraloma Dragon in the cafeteria. Then each Monday during morning circle, we'll highlight three special students who will get to wear the highly coveted Dragon Capes!
Thanks to all parents for encouraging your kids to earn Dragon Scales by being safe, listening attentively and being respectful. Also a big thanks to the teacher Culture & Climate Committee for creating this school-wide positive behavior system and to parent Ryan Silvers for her artistic direction.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: MORNING CIRCLE
|
With the arrival of winter and "cold" weather, I know it's not easy to get out of bed on time. However, our first bell rings at 7:48am, and the expectation is that every single student arrives to the Miraloma Yard by 7:50 sharp.
Additionally, thank you for your efforts to encourage your students to fully participate at Morning Circle--it is the one time when our whole community is together, and personally, I think it's really special to see our kindergartners alongside our 5th graders.
Along with the various themes for the week, I love getting our multilingual students out on the microphone so please let me know if your student is up for sharing "good morning" in a language we have not yet learned...
See you tomorrow at 7:48am!
