WEEKLY NEWS
Hello Diamond Creek Families! We hope you're having a wonderful December with family and friends. A reminder that Friday is a minimum day, students will be dismissed at 2:05.
This week we had our Village Rally. Our focus this month is Habit #3: Make Priorities Matter. At our rally we talked about working before we play. We reviewed the following key points of Habit 3:
1. I do the things that I have to do before I do the things that I want to do
2. I stay focused on what I'm doing. I try to minimize distractions and regroup if I get off task.
3. I spend my time on the things that are most important.
These are such great lessons for our students and good reminders for us as adults!
We updated our Habits posters to show our essentials and link with our village names. The posters are attached below, feel free to use in your homes as well.
