Recognition Wall

Gaby M

Thank you for the thoughtful planning and beautiful execution of Día de los Abuelos. Every detail reflected our values and created a meaningful space for connection between generations. It was truly special to see our families come together in such an authentic and heartfelt way. Your work made this event both memorable and deeply aligned with who we are as a school.

Thank you for your dedication and support in bringing Día de los Abuelos to life. Your care and attention to detail helped create a warm and welcoming experience for our families. It was evident how much heart you put into making this event so special!

PK Team

A huge recognition to all of you for coming together and truly putting students first. Designing a play as an entry point goes beyond the classroom and reflects such intentional, thoughtful planning. It is developmentally appropriate, deeply student-centered, and beautifully designed to spark curiosity and engagement in learning. This is a powerful example of collaboration and of the meaningful experiences we strive to create for our children every day. 💛

We are very lucky to have you on the team.💛

Thank you Marti for creating this! ♥️

Absences

Remember to send a text to both Maca, Belén and Jose, so we all know and can support on a timely manner.

Nurse

A gentle reminder to be mindful when sending students to the nurse, ensuring that those who go truly need medical attention. This helps us prioritize care for students who need it most and keeps learning time uninterrupted. 💛

AI and Student Information/Pictures

A gentle reminder to please refrain from uploading any student information or photos to AI platforms, as we do not have parent authorization for this use. Protecting our students’ privacy and confidentiality is a shared responsibility we all uphold.

Old Definition of Teaching & Learning Posters

Please remember to take these off from your walls, as we are not using these visuals anymore.

Outdoor Play and Duties

Please remember to arrive to outdoor play on time each day and be at your designated duty promptly, as students come out at the scheduled time and require active supervision. Thank you for your support in keeping our students safe. 💛

Cafeteria Spoons
