📚 Math Update from Principal McCormick at Cielo Azul!

Principal McCormick highlights the importance of giving teachers opportunities to check in, receive training, and learn from one another across the district.

The teaching methods used in this program are especially beneficial for students learning English as a second language. Through engaging activities, students can collaborate, learn together, and stay actively involved in their math lessons.

When teachers have opportunities to grow and share strategies, our students benefit! 💙

🎶 Oh, the cold will be coming ’round the mountain when it comes…! 🎶 🥶

Today may be nice, but those chilly mornings are on their way! ❄️ Let’s get ahead of the cold and help keep our SFPS students warm this winter.

🧥 Our annual Winter Warmth Drive is here!

We’re collecting NEW hoodies (especially needed!), jackets, and coats to help students stay warm and ready to learn. Adult sizes are especially needed, but students of all ages can benefit from a little extra warmth!

❤️ Help us get ready for the cold! Drop off your donations at either of our two designated locations. More details in the attached flyer.
