If they feel anything like me, they are going to sleep VERY WELL tonight! What an exhausting, exhilarating week! Today was the first day having all 8 kindergarten classes and it went great. This is a huge campus and can be daunting to some of those little ones but you'll be amazed at how quickly they will learn the campus in just a few days.
In their backpacks you'll find fundraiser packets from the Lince PTO. These fund go directly to the PTO to provide activities and items for students such as field trips, AR programs, and assemblies. Their teachers can answer your questions regarding timelines and such.
Hope you have a great, long, well deserved weekend.
See you on Tuesday!

179 more to go....
I love the first day of school! Shiny new shoes, everyone polite and on their best behavior! But what I love even more is that it is a brand new year. It is a brand new start. And we have brand new, elevated expectations for students. At todays assembly we told the students that they have the best teachers in the entire nation and that they are the best students in the entire nation.
Our staff spent most of last week talking about our school's culture, and our expectations for students and for each other. Your child's teacher truly believes that s/he can meet or exceed our high expectations. We also believe that they ARE going to college. We no longer have the expectation set at graduating from high school. It is urgent that our students leave Selah School District prepared for higher education. That is our promise to them, and you.

And we really believe that.

Welcome....or welcome back!
Hello!
I am so excited for this new school year. We are faced with the sad yet exciting task of closing Robert Lince Elementary forever. But I'm convinced that we have the most talented staff, the most capable and dedicated teachers. I couldn't imagine a more fitting way to go out...on top!!
I will be posting on this blog at least once a week with updates, pictures, and events from school, sharing the latest and greatest in the world of education, or merely posting my deepest, most personal thoughts for all the world to read.
My office door is always open, please do not hesitate to come by to say hi, ask questions, or even let me know of a concern or complaint you have. Hablo español, más o menos. :)
