Our Snowy Owls completed their second week and have shown remarkable enthusiasm and progress in modeling our Snowy Owl Expectations of being Safe, Respectful, Responsible, and Kind. It was great to see all of our Sotomayor families at our Back to School Night this past week. For those families that weren’t able to join us, please see the slide deck below that was reviewed during our Title I / Principal Welcome & Dual Immersion Informational Session.
Our goal at Sonia Sotomayor Elementary School is to create and maintain a positive and safe learning environment for all and hold students accountable for being positive forces within our school community. The Snowy Owl Expectations are taught, modeled, and practiced throughout all grade levels and locations around campus. This week we will continue to focus and reinforce the expected behaviors for recess. We appreciate your support in asking your Snowy Owls at home what specific behaviors allow them to be safe, respectful, responsible, and kind during recess.
