Week of September 5-9, 2022

Happy Friday Trailblazer families,

 We began our LEAD Passport adventure today.  Your children traveled to 3 of our 7 common areas to learn what it looks like to be great Listeners, be Empathetic, be Accountable and how to be Disciplined.  It was really fun to learn with our cross-grade level Villages today.  

 

SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL

Interested in being a part of Diamond Creek’s Site Council? We currently have 2 open positions for parent representatives.  Our School Site Council meets about 7 times throughout the school year on Thursday afternoons.  The purpose of the Council is to assist in the development of Diamond Creek’s School Site Plans, including our School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and our School Safety Plan.  Please submit a short statement that will be included on the ballot that describes who you are, how you are connected to Diamond Creek, and why you would like to be a part of the School Site Council. Please email your candidate statement to our Principal, Lisa Phillips lphillips01@rcsdk8.org by noon this Thursday, September 8th.  Elections will be held September 9th-15th if we have more than two applicants.  

 

DROP OFF/PICK UP SAFETY…A Friendly Reminder

We are currently working with the City of Roseville and our Student Leadership to provide Student Valet Service soon to our Pick Up and Drop Off areas.  Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • When entering the Bus Loop for Drop Off or Pick Up, make sure to continue all the way to the end of the loop before stopping to unload or pick up your children.  This allows for more cars to be in the loop at the same time which should improve the flow of traffic.    

  • When possible, please have your children on the passenger side of the vehicle so that they can exit onto the sidewalk and not into the street side of the bus loop. 

  • When walking, please make sure to only cross the streets on the sidewalks (by the bus loop) and the crosswalks. 

Thank you for your continued support and effort to help keep our Trailblazers safe.


SCHOOL PICTURE DAYS-NEXT WEEK!                                                                                      


Picture Days are around the corner – TK-2nd is Thursday, September 8 and 3rd-5th is Friday, September 9.  Forms were sent home this week to get them pre-ordered.


2nd VILLAGE MEETING THIS FRIDAY

We have our second Village Meeting this Friday, September 9th!  We will complete our Passport Adventure learning our expectations in 7 common areas of the school.  Each Village will learn how to LEAD in the last 4 of the areas this week. Don’t forget to wear your VILLAGE shirt on FRIDAY!

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! W...

  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...
