Dear Park Spanish Immersion School Community:
It's almost February! We are looking forward to meeting with families in two weeks for conferences. If you have not signed up for a time, please click
here
. Tomorrow, report cards for the first semester will be coming home in backpacks. As a reminder, the feedback is based on continuing progress towards the end of the year goals for our students. We appreciate your partnership as we collectively guide students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally and work towards our SLP Strategic Plan goals.
Have a great week, and keep reading!
Most sincerely,
Corey

National African American Parent Involvement Day - February 10th
|
Please join us on Monday, February 10th to celebrate National African American Parent Involvement Day;
all families are welcome!
National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) is a day for all parents to come to their child's school, see what their day is like and to support their child's educational future. Some of the goals of NAAPID are to:
- Promote parent involvement in their child's education.
- Address the serious achievement gap facing African American students.
- Promote and provide strategies for all parents and students to take full advantage of the educational process at all levels of the educational system (preschool through college).
Like any day, you are invited to come and spend time in your child's classroom and have lunch! On Monday, February 10th, we will also have coffee, cookies, and conversation with the principal and a few staff members from 10:00-11:30 in the Orange Room by the Main Entrance. Please come and go as you are able. We will converse about how our school work aligns with the Strategic Plan and opportunities for improvement. Please join us!

School Connections Corner: T-Shirt Tuesdays!
In an effort to spread kindness and inclusion,
every Tuesday at PSI is
T-shirt Tuesday. Please encourage your students to wear a t-shirt with a positive message, or a PSI shirt. Why not spread positivity by wearing it so everyone can see it?
This concept started in the Hopkins School District and has now spread both locally and nationally. If your child chooses not to wear a t-shirt or forgets, they can participate by sharing some extra smiles or kind words on Tuesdays! Click
HERE for a newsclip about how it all began.

Report to Parents - Setting Goals
From NAESP (National Association of Elementary School Principals)
|
The middle of the school year is a great time for families to check in with students on goals. Setting academic and personal goals helps motivate, energize, and focus students, and it is a valuable skill that will benefit learners throughout their lives. Parents can help students set and achieve goals.
