A Message From...Mrs. Kuruzar Dear Emma Donnan Families, As we enter the third month of school, our scholars are diving headfirst into their academic and school culture pursuits. We truly appreciate your support in ensuring that homework is completed on time. Just a friendly reminder that homework is due every Friday, and scholars will receive a grade for their submissions. Homework completion isn't the only thing we are are excited about at Adelante, scholars are relishing the meals offered by the Commons! The opinions of our scholars are significant! We aim to persist in collecting this vital feedback to guarantee not just the quality and satisfaction of meals but also to create a platform for Adelante's scholars to feel empowered to express themselves! On September 18th, the culinary team surveyed 186 scholars to solicit their feedback on a new menu item: Flautas. The results are unmistakable: Over 87% of Adelante scholars adored the Flautas! Save the date for our Family Conference Day on October 25th! We strongly encourage all families to take part in this event. It's a wonderful chance to engage with your scholar's teacher(s) and gain insights into your scholar's academic and social-emotional development. A digital sign-up will be distributed on October 9th. Additionally, please note that our grading period concludes this week, and report cards will be sent home on October 9th. You can also access your scholar's grades through the Powerschool Parent Portal. As we move into October, we’d like to highlight a few important procedures at Emma Donnan. Dismissal Changes All dismissal changes must be communicated through the front office by 1:30 PM daily. Teachers are not authorized to alter dismissal arrangements for students. By following these protocols, we can ensure the safety of all our scholars. Scholar Uniform A heartfelt thank you to those families who have been work in SWING with us regarding scholar uniforms. Please remember that uniforms are mandatory. Ensure your scholar is dressed in uniform every day. Cell Phone Policy According to state law, students are not permitted to have their cell phones on their person. All cell phones must be stored in their backpacks before entering the building and should remain there until they leave school premises. We look forward to seeing you this month at our Fall Festival and Family Conferences! Onward, Mrs. Kuruzar Director of Engagement
