Principal's Corner
Hello Dragon Families,
Happy New Year! ¡Feliz año nuevo! We hope your winter adventures were good ones. Family and friends are to be cherished and we hope your time together was well-spent!
You may have noticed that there were a lot of teachers on our campus on Monday and Tuesday before our students returned to school. Those two professional development days gave our staff time to reflect and plan for ways to improve the way we teach and the way we hope students will learn - especially in the area of mathematics!
We also reviewed this year’s California Dashboard for DeLaveaga Elementary. We are pleased to report that overall, DeLaveaga is making progress in just about all areas assessed by the State of California. One area where we would like to see more growth is our rate of Chronic Absenteeism - basically attendance. Our teachers, support staff and I will be focusing on looking at ways to improve our messaging around this very important aspect of learning. When a student is not in class, it makes it harder for that student to learn and it makes it even harder for the teacher to teach once they return. Simply put, attendance matters!
Thank you for being here with us. In January, we particularly look forward to holding parent information nights for new families preparing to join us for the 2025-26 school year as well as families who are eager to learn more about Dos Alas, our Two-Way Immersion program.
With appreciation,
Thien Hua - Principal
