Cordelia Hills Elementary

Happy Monday and a new week! Make it awesome! Highlights • Congrats  to Ms. Vogel and Ms. Stone for being the first classes to meet the attendance challenge (10 days of perfect attendance for the month of September). Congrats to both. We have five more school days left and a few classes are very close. Remember, missing even one day makes a huge impact. Check out these attendance facts from Attendance Works:  Attendance Matters • MAP Testing Season  has arrived just in time for Fall. MAP is the District Wide Assessment Program for Grades 1-5 in both ELA and Math. It is taken on the computer and is adaptive (the better they do, the harder the questions and vice versa if they are struggling). The test provides a "score" and "growth goal" and helps teachers and students determine what goals/actions they need to take to see academic growth.  • The Fall Book Fair  has wrapped up. Many thanks to the PTA board for organizing the event and many thanks ...

Book Fair Underway! Good morning Coyote Families!! Our book fair is underway and lasts all week. It is open everyday, before and after school on the stage/music room in the Multi-Purpose Room! Check it out. We appreciate your support. Thank you to PTA and all of the parent volunteers, especially Mrs. Allison for organizing the event! Highlights • Another g reat week for Attendance during Attendance Awareness Month. We had ONLY 4 students absent last Wednesday and only 7 last Thursday. That is virtually unheard of in elementary schools. Great work parents and students! I always dream of a day where EVERY single student is on campus!  • STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Music) lessons   are underway at CHE. So many great activities underway. Check in with classroom teachers to learn how you can support STEAM.  • Coastal Clean-Up Many thanks to the students in Ms. Wilcox's 5th grade classroom (and beyond) that were able to support the creek c...

GO Coyotes, GO! Another great week down! I had two days of training so I didn't get to see the kids all day at the end of the week. Next week is a very busy week. Check out the information below and have a fantastic weekend! Highlights! • Attendance Awareness Month is in full swing. We had A TON of classes with perfect attendance this week. We kept our attendance rates above 97%. Teachers and students have been creating attendance videos to share with the entire school about "why attendance is important to them". Bravo and let's keep up the great work next week, this month, and beyond! • School Wide Positive Behavior Systems continue to be implemented. We saw a huge rise in Paw Prides this week (over 100 school wide pride slips were handed out for responsible, respectful, and safe behavior).  • We are finalizing our student council structure for this school year. This will be the first student council at the school in some time and we are excited for ...

Happy Attendance Awareness Month! Another great week at Cordelia Hills. I say it all the time but we are truly blessed to have your students at our school.  Highlights from this week : •  We are kicking off Attendance Awareness Month . Our goal is to promote, recognize, and educate our students and community on the importance of coming to school everyday. Our school-wide goal this year is 97% and I know we can easily top that if we work together to promote healthy attendance habits. •  We had 35 Paw Prides turned in. These are recognition cards for students who are following our school rules (safe, responsible, respectful). We reward them by calling names at Friday lunch and with a small prize pick! Keep up the great work Coyotes! •   Back to School Night had a HUGE Turnout. Thank you to those that attended. My presentation is here:  BTSN News •   WOW Wednesdays start September 6th! Cycle, scooter, skate, or walk every Wednesd...
