Monday Memo September 16-20, 2024

NDLE's Mission Statement: The Little Griffin family serves, cares, and educates creating a love for learning leading to graduation.

Little Griffin S.O.A.R. Behavior Expectations

Each week, our Monday Memo has focused on one part of our Little Griffin S.O.A.R. Behavior Expectations. Please be sure to regularly review these expectations with your students. Our Class Dojo behavior tracking system is based on our Little Griffin S.O.A.R. Behaviors Expectations. Students are chosen as Griffin Leaders based on how consistently they exemplify these behaviors. If all students follow these expectations consistently, we can ensure a positive, caring learning environment for all students and teachers.

Parents

Fall sports are here! I would love to have some pictures of our Little Griffins playing Fall sports (dance and cheer and other after school activities are welcome too!) These pictures will be featured on the display screens at our school so our students can see them while they eat lunch. Email your pictures to tara.brawley@desotopsb.com

Local businesses & Little Griffin Families: We are needing some help for our Monster Math Night Carnival coming up in October. If you are able to donate individually wrapped candy and/or small prizes it would be greatly appreciated. These items can be dropped off at the school at your convenience. Thank you in advance!
