From Hacky Sac games to "Let's Paint" stations, Ping-Pong Games and a Students vs. Teachers Kick Ball playoff, students were at the main stage of Santana's Welcome Back Rally. Superintendent Dr. Mitchell along with Board of Education Vice President Erik Venegas  joined the fun with a surprise visit making the event extra special for the staff and students!



"The event's main focus was to establish relationships and create opportunities to develop connections with students to improve student learning and outcomes," said Santana Assistant Principal Cristina Canales. "In developing relationships with our students on our Santana High School campus, we seek to expand our knowledge and awareness of social-emotional learning practices that will elicit resilience and empower student outcomes."

Rowland Elementary families enjoy meeting teachers (and Kona Ice!) at Welcome Back event.

How often does a kid get snail mail? Not often right? So the fourth grade team at Rowland Elementary thought that they could surprise the students with a handwritten letter from their future teacher! They connected with their students with handwritten letters over the summer to get them excited about the school year. The 4th grade team also included a prepaid envelope so students and parents could respond and tell their teachers more about themselves. 

The 4th through 6th grade classes also had a Welcome Back Meet and Greet. Students and parents were invited to come enjoy some refreshing Kona Ice while meeting their new teachers and reconnecting with their friends.   Follow Rowland Elementary on Twitter @RascalPride @rowlandEL_PTA
