Dear Primary School Families,

February is here, and we have lots of things to celebrate! We'll have a Parent University, start PS CWW trips, celebrate Valentine's Day, mark the 100th day of school, and enjoy February break. Wow! It's going to be a great month.

Parent University: The Science of Reading: What Can I Do to Help My Child Become a STRONG and JOYFUL reader?

By: Vincent Ventura (CNG´s External Literacy Consultant)

In classrooms all around the world, we are changing the way we teach our children to read.  Backed with knowledge from the Science of Reading, we are moving away from balanced literacy toward a structured literacy approach.  This shift is a wonderful thing for our children, but we can’t do it alone. In order for it to be most successful, we need support from families and caregivers!  Join us, as we discuss easy ways to help your child become a powerful reader!

Head Lice Information

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Almost every year, we have incidents of lice at school. Recently, current cases have been brought to our attention. We ask that at home, you check your child’s hair very carefully every day. Head lice can be found in children who shampoo daily and have long or short hair. In fact, head  lice prefer a clean head, so lice can happen to anyone. Please read (LINK in English & Spanish) on for very important information about LICE and follow-up protocols at home.

From our P.E. Teachers

We've started our JUMP ROPE unit. It would be great if your child could have a jump rope at home—optional but welcome in PE class. We're providing tips for better jumping and perseverance. Thanks for your support; feel free to reach out with questions or concerns.
