#23 - FEBRUARY 7, 2025
Dear PS Families,
We highly encourage you to attend Tuesday's Coffee with the Principal, as it’s a great opportunity to connect and stay informed about supporting your child's social-emotional growth, understanding discipline in PS, and aligning expectations for a successful school year.
We’re pleased to share that the third early release day was a success. Teachers met to review reading data and continue our work on innovation. In addition, we are ready for the final PS CWW trips this week with 2nd grade.
Also, report cards should now be available in Skyward for you to view.
Thank you for your continued support!

Hello PS Families,
Welcome to the month of February in the Counseling Corner! We thank you all for your participation in these activities as we celebrated and supported Primary School students in their life journey building character! This month we will be practicing and learning about HONESTY. Feel free to share with us how you as a family practice HONESTY throughout the month. You can send pictures, videos and stories of you carrying out this month’s PurposeFul Pursuits as a family. You can also send us other ways of how you showed this value. Please send these to lparedes@cng.edu. These will be published in the CCN at the end of the month to show pride for our Character Strong students! Hooray!
Sincerely,
Li, Lau, Juli and Vero
