Dear Taft Families,
This is Principal Garcia-Rubio calling with our Monday update. We hope everyone had a wonderful three day weekend in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
GRADE LEVEL ASSEMBLIES
We begin this week with grade level assemblies.
Mrs. Sanchez, our counselor, Mr. Montoro, our Restorative Justice Coordinator, and Dr. Diana Gonzalez, our Military Family Life Counselor, will host our assemblies on Zoom from 8:35 a.m. to 8:55 a.m. The code for these optional assemblies is 885 3832 2810. This meeting we will be focusing on kindness.
Our grade level assemblies will be held on the following dates:
6th Grade--Tuesday, January 19, 2021
7th Grade--Wednesday, January 20, 2021
8th Grade-Thursday, January 21, 2021
GRADING PERIOD FOR TERM 2
Term 2 will end this Friday, January 22, 2021. Grades will be available on Power School on Friday, January 29, 2021. It is very important that students keep with their assignments and for our families to be in communication with our teachers during this time. Even though the school is closed, teaching and learning is still at the heart of our work. If you have any concerns about your child’s grades, please contact your student’s teachers via email. Any other concerns may be directed to our Counselor, Mrs. Sanchez at [email protected].
TERM 2 HONOR ROLL CRITERIA
To qualify for Honor Roll, a student must have a 3.33 grade point average or above, with no D’s or F’s and no N’s or U’s. We know our Eagle Scholars can do this! A big thank you goes out to our families who encourage our scholars to do their best.
TERM 3 BEGINS ON Monday, January 25, 2021
Term 3 will begin on Monday, January 25, 2021. Students will return to periods 1, 2 and 3--the classes they originally began the school year with back in August. Questions regarding schedules or schedule changes may be directed to Mrs. Sanchez, our counselor at [email protected]. A list of Term 3 Class codes will be sent later this week.
ELAC INTEREST MEETING
We will hold an interest meeting for an English Learner Advisory Committee on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, at 6 p.m. in Zoom Room 858 935 2693. This is another opportunity for our parents and community members to be involved in supporting our students who are learning English.
