    PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

    Happy Holidays!

    We’ve had some great weeks of learning at Atkinson School. It’s so fun to walk into classrooms and see èßäÊÓƵ working with each other on challenging tasks.

    I hope your holiday is filled with rest and the pleasure of your children. It is so important to enjoy them and let them know that they are a joy to us just the way they are. Please make time for them to turn off electronics and engage in unstructured (adult-free) play. This is particularly beneficial when it includes siblings, cousins, or other near-age peers, especially when done outside.

    The èßäÊÓƵ will be closed from Saturday, December 21 through Sunday, January 5, with èßäÊÓƵ resuming on Monday, January 6.

    The first days back we will be re-teaching classroom routines and common area behavior expectations. The second quarter will end on January 24, so be looking for report cards soon thereafter.

    Below is an important message from our PTA president. We want all families to know that your children are safe at èßäÊÓƵ regardless of what is happening politically in the larger world. Specifically, all newcomer families are welcome in the Atkinson community. I remember what it was like to move to a new country, full of hopes and fears. We are committed to providing a place for all children to grow and learn.

    As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your homeroom teacher or me.

    In service,

    MENSAJE DE LA DIRECTORA

    ¡Felices fiestas!

    Hemos tenido unas semanas de aprendizaje fantásticas en la escuela Atkinson. Es muy divertido entrar a las aulas y ver a los estudiantes trabajando juntos en tareas desafiantes.

    Espero que sus vacaciones estén llenas de descanso y disfrute con sus hijos. Es muy importante disfrutarlos y hacerles saber que son una alegría para nosotros tal como son. Dedique tiempo a que apaguen los dispositivos electrónicos y participen en juegos no estructurados (sin adultos). Esto es particularmente beneficioso cuando incluye a hermanos, primos u otros compañeros de su edad, especialmente cuando se hace al aire libre.

    La escuela estará cerrada desde el sábado 21 de diciembre hasta el domingo 5 de enero, y las clases se reanudarán el lunes 6 de enero.

    Los primeros días volveremos a enseñar las rutinas del aula y las expectativas de comportamiento en las áreas comunes. El segundo trimestre finalizará el 24 de enero, así que espere los boletines de calificaciones poco después.

    A continuación, se incluye un mensaje importante de nuestra presidenta de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros (PTA). Queremos que todas las familias sepan que sus hijos están seguros en la escuela, independientemente de lo que esté sucediendo políticamente en el mundo en general. En concreto, todas las familias recién llegadas son bienvenidas a la comunidad de Atkinson. Recuerdo cómo fue mudarse a un nuevo país, lleno de esperanzas y temores. Estamos comprometidos a proporcionar un lugar para que todos los niños crezcan y aprendan.

    Como siempre, si tienes alguna pregunta o inquietud, no dudes en comunicarte con tu profesor de aula o conmigo.

    En servicio,

    If you’re ever lucky enough to tag along with Tom Myers and his bird club at Skyline School, you’ll most likely notice a few things: that Skyline in the early morning can be a breathtakingly beautiful place, and that if you have a question about birds – or the natural world in general – the man his èßäÊÓƵ call “Teacher Tom” can almost certainly answer it.

    The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to èßäÊÓƵ administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”

    The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring èßäÊÓƵ – and for èßäÊÓƵ – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical èßäÊÓƵ year.
