Week of October 4-8

Hello Trailblazer Families, 

We hope you're enjoying a long weekend together! Our staff have been busy learning together, talking data and even having some fun with literacy lanterns over the last few days. We look forward to kicking off the week together on Monday!

We had a Village meeting on Wednesday where our students discussed and practiced Habit #1: I'm in Charge of Me. Our students are definitely working on Always Being Honest, even when it's very hard, which is one of our focus essentials right now! We will continue our meetings and rallys in our own classrooms for now as we are following all COVID procedures and guidelines.

FOCUS ESSENTIALS:

1. Be Responsible for Your Trash
2. Move Around Respectfully and Safely
3. Try To Solve Your Own Problems
4. Always Be Honest

HERE is our Habit #1 poster you are welcome to use at home too! 

Our students have been practicing their Village chants and we wanted to share these with you as well! HERE are the chants if you'd like to practice at home too!

GATE Testing:
Please see the documents linked below for 2022-23 GATE Information and Testing.

Independent Study
RCSD has changed how we accept short-term independent study requests for students from a paper form picked up at the school to an online electronic form. Parents/guardians looking to take their student out on short-term independent study (minimum of 3 days; maximum of 14) for personal family business (not quarantine) must complete the online form. Paper forms will no longer be available at the office. However, parents requesting short-term independent study will still need to make their request with at least 5-days’ notice before taking your student out of school to ensure proper notification to their teacher(s) and providing of schoolwork. Short Term Independent Study Form (English) (Spanish)


Can you guess the book?

Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  Thank you to all of our parents for taking time to meet with your child's teacher this week.  Our teachers appreciate this face to face meeting time with you.  We are all a team working together to help each child at Diamond Creek be successful and your support is such an important piece of the puzzle.  Thank you for your time and support! On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have our local Fire Department visit us and lead us through a fire safety assembly.  The students learned what to do in the case of a fire and were able to see the transformation that happens when our firefighters put on all of their gear.  On Wednesday, we had a building wide "READING DRILL".  We all stopped, dropped and read! It was a delight to see students throughout our whole building reading for 15 minutes all together.  I had so many students afterwards tell me they wished it was longer and ask if we could do that everyday!

  9/9/2022   Happy Friday Trailblazer families,   We completed our LEAD Passport adventure today.  Your children have now traveled to all 7 of our common areas to learn what it looks like to be great Listeners, be Empathetic, be Accountable and how to be Disciplined. Due to the smoke, we had them meet in their Village Meeting Spot and the presenters traveled to the students. These passports should have gone home with them today.  It would be wonderful to have them step into the role of being the teacher and share with you what they learned about each area’s expectations.     DC NEWS IS BACK Our Student Leadership under the direction of Ms. Triplett and Mrs. Lopez is back in action.  One of the projects they work on is our DC News.  Click HERE to see this week’s broadcast!     SPIRIT WEEK-GETTING READY FOR OUR WALK-A-THON We have a great week of school spirit ahead culminating with our Walk-a-thon on Friday, September 16t...
