Northside Primary had the smoothest morning for our first day with lots of expert volunteer help !
THANK YOU ! Janie Sepulveda and Modesta Gonzales
There were excited children , and weeping moms . Afternoon bus dismissal was a little slow . I conveniently forget this from year to year .!
� Days two and three were amazing . Students get into a routine so fast . Our Time to Teach staff development has proved beneficial already .
� We began K beginning-of-the-year-assessment day one and first grade Phonics Inventory Wednesday afternoon . Teachers and paraprofessionals work together to provide time for this individual assessment .
� Afternoon car rider dismissal was still a challenge at first — always is . Wednesday was so much better , we all breathed a sigh of relief . Parents were more pleased .
� We host our first Parent / PTO Orientation next Wednesday , September 5th . I never schedule this until our parking lot is settled down .
I appreciate the planning and support of our Central Office administrators , our Board , my principal colleagues , my staff , parents , AND students .
We are looking forward to a super year !!
