Greetings, Eagles Family,
This is Samantha Charles-Dixon, Principal of Daniels Learning Center, calling with this week’s announcements.

I’d like to shout out our students who were nominated by their peers to be the school’s “Golden Eagles”. This is a peer-to-peer leadership program where the students will take on leadership roles, organize activities, and serve as role models for their peers. Our representatives for this school year are Ethan, Layla, Jordin, Joseph H, Anayeli, Dulcenia, Legacy, Hayden, and Elijah.

Benchmark testing will begin this week. Family, we need our students to get plenty of rest and be on time to school. We will use the benchmark data to drive instruction during the next nine weeks of school

October 22 is Unity Day, and we ask all students to wear orange. Together, we will represent a visible message of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to prevent bullying

Report card pick-up will begin at 7:15 am on Monday, October 26th, and end at 4:00 pm.

Greetings, Eagles Family,

Students will take assessments to determine whether they will boost October 12th-15th. Students must score a 70 or higher on their assessments. They must also have a 70 or higher in math, ELA, science, and social studies. Students may also have no more than 4 unexcused absences.

October 16th is a teacher workday. There will be no school for students.

The end of the marking period is on October 15th, and report card pickup will be on October 26th.

I’d also like to remind parents that our students are actively engaged in a reading program called PowerUp from 7:30 to 8:00. If they miss this time, they are missing out on a valuable learning opportunity that helps them learn to read and comprehend better. Missing this time also has a negative impact on their grade in their reading class. Please help us by having our students here on time.

That concludes my announcements for this week. Thank you for everything you do to help us “Grow and Fly”.

Greetings Eagle Family,
This is Samantha Charles-Dixon, Principal of Daniels Learning Center, calling with this week’s announcements.

Progress reports will go out on September 29th.

Please remember that students who miss more than 4 days in the first nine weeks are in danger of not being boosted. Students are in danger of being retained if they miss more than 18 days in a school year.

Academics and attendance go hand in hand. Our students cannot learn if they aren’t attending school. Remember, at Daniels we FLY: “Focus, Lead, and Yearn to Learn”.

Please remind our students to remain focused in the classroom. This means they are paying attention, on task, and following classroom expectations. We are at the midway point of the first nine weeks, and I want them to remember our goals of boosting and promotion!

That concludes my announcements. I hope you have a great week, and thanks for everything you do to help us “Grow and Fly”.

We’d like to thank everyone who came to our “Tips and Tea with Principal D and Counselor” event. If you couldn't make it, contact the school to schedule a time to come in and learn how you can support your student.

This is a reminder to the parents of 7th grade students that students will be excluded on September 23 if documentation of their updated immunizations is not provided. Letters were sent home with the students who need immunizations.

Lastly, progress reports will go out next week on September 29th, and I’d like to remind our students to remain focused in the classroom. This means you are paying attention, on task, and following classroom expectations.
