From the Desk of Schuba...
Dear Izzi B Parents and Guardians,
The new morning announcements are a huge hit with students and staff! These announcements are done “on location” in one surprise classroom per day and amplified over the school intercom system to build positive school culture. Here is an example of one of the students who was recognized in Duffy’s Fifth Grade Class (below). Students can also nominate other students and staff members as well!
Nominated by: Duffy
Who is being recognized: Olivia Lippa
Dragon Disposition: Tenacious
What did they do? This tenacious scholar is always doing extra, taking work home, doing more then she's asked. Her love of learning makes me want to come to work everyday. Thank you Olivia.
All K-5 classrooms have completed our first Second Step Unit 1 entitled “Skills for Learning.” We will come together as a community on Tuesday, Oct. 9th for an assembly aimed to reinforce listening, focusing attention, using self-talk to stay on-task, and being assertive when asking for help with a learning task. In our assembly, we’ll remind students of these skills, which help them be successful learners.
For questions or conversation, reach out to Schuba via email (lisa_schuba@dpsk12.org) or phone 720-423-9900.
