Dear Parents & Guardians:

AIMS is approaching next week- April 12-15. It is a very important measure of your child's learning. Please help to make sure your child has a GOOD NIGHT'S REST and eats a HEALTHY BREAKFAST. Also, snacks will not be provided, so we ask that you be sure they bring A WATER BOTTLE AND A HEALTHY SNACK!!! Donations of snacks are greatly appreciated, for those students who forget or do not bring. PLEASE NOTHING WITH NUTS OR NUT PRODUCTS!! Items such as pretzels, graham crackers, cereal work well.

Here is a link for ON-LINE AIMS PRACTICE:

I am confident our students will do very well. Encourage them to have fun challenging themselves!!! Thank you for your support.

FOR MY HOMEROOM STUDENTS:

Our usual schedule is as follows:


 * 8:15 Attendance, lunch count, am work**
 * 8:30 MATH**
 * 9:30 SCIENCE - Mr. Fasula**
 * 10:15 SOCIAL STUDIES - Ms. Richmond**
 * 11:00 -WRITING - Home room**
 * 11:45 READING - Mrs. Morrison/Home room**
 * 12:30 RECESS/LUNCH**
 * 1:15 EXPLORATORIES (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday)**
 * P.E. (Wednesday)**
 * 2:00 MUSIC - Monday**
 * P.E. - Tuesday, Thursday**
 * ART - Friday**

Las Brisas is now using the "Blackboard Connect" automatic call system to notify parents/guardian that their child has been marked absent from school. The system will only call out to the homes of the students whose parents **__HAVE NOT__** called their child in absent on the Las Brisas Attendance Line. Absences need to be called in by 9:00 AM. The system will make one call and that is to the phone number that is listed in powerschools as the "home phone". If a parent/guardian would prefer to be notified on an alternate phone number (cell phone or work number), the front office needs to be notified to make the change for a contact phone number. It would be extremely helpful if parents/guardians would call in as soon as possible. Calls can be made the day/night before. Messages can be left on the absence line. If your child has a doctor or dentist appointment and will be late to school, it is important that you also call that absence in also. The ABSENCE ATTENDANCE LINE PHONE NUMBER IS: **623-445-5590**.

Following are some MUCH needed classroom supplies...any donations are gratefully accepted!: ** KLEENEX!! ** 
 * Disinfecting Wipes ! **
 * Student Scissors **
 * Old Board Games **
 * Tacky glue **
 * Markers & Dry Erase Markers **
 * *NOTE: Many assignments can/will be done on the computer and your child may wish to work on his/her computer at home. I've found that a USB Memory Stick (aka Thumb or Flash Drive) is a great tool! Students are able to work on both the school computer as well as at home without having to re-type/re-do any parts of the assignment. **
 * PLEASE NOTE: Since parents can now access all grade information on-line, I will only send a printed progress report upon request and for mid-term progress reports. PLEASE ACCESS YOUR CHILD'S INFORMATION!!! A few things to note when reviewing online grades: **

** When you are reviewing specific assignments, be aware of the following "key codes" that may appear-- **
 * mi = Missing assignment (i.e., past due) **
 * p = Pending (student has spoken with me and we've agreed upon a future date for turn in) **
 * ab = Absent when assignment was due; student should turn in asap or upon agreed upon date with teacher **
 * r = Received not yet graded, but has been turned in **
 * = Future assignment; not yet due **

NOTE: YOUR CHILD IS NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR WRITING ASSIGNMENTS IN THEIR NOTEBOOK/PLANNER. //**If you would like to contact me, my email address is:**// // **[[mailto:Carlene.Morrison@dvusd.org|Carlene.Morrison@dvusd.org**]] //
 * Monitoring and reviewing your child's assignment notebook DAILY is an important part of helping your student.**
