Welcome Leon Valley Families to the month of December!
We are so excited to start the month of December! We would like to thank our families who volunteered to watch our Lions so that our staff could enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together. Below you will find the video that we shared with our staff, as well as some pictures from the event.
We also want to thank all of our families who joined us for APTT Night. We appreciate you partnering with us in your child's education so that we can celebrate your child's academic growth together. Speaking of growth, 2nd-5th grade students will be taking their Reading & Math MAP test this month. Please see the testing dates below. We will be able to measure the growth your child has made since the beginning of the school year and ensure they are on track for their end of year progress. Our Kinder and 1st grade students will be taking their MAP in January when we return from Winter Break. Below we have a short video in English and Spanish about the MAP test.
Thank you for supporting our Popcorn Fundraiser. Our fundraiser is coming to an end and we will share how much money we were able to make in the next Parent Newsletter. Just a reminder that all money goes back to our students and staff. This money is used to purchase decorations for our events, balloon arches, breakfast/lunch for teachers, etc.
Lastly, as we get ready for the holiday season, please remind your child not to bring toys to school. Toys can get lost, damaged, or can be a distraction in a learning environment. We also want to make sure that any toys that may resemble weapons such as nerf guns, etc are kept at home. We look forward to providing your child with a safe and FUN learning experience in December!
Sincerely,
Jessica Ruiz-Huerta
