June 2016

June has arrived! We are in full swing in the 10th month of school and life is busy here

at Hueneme Elementary.

Due to changes in the rules for the Local Control Accountability Plan and Local Control

Funding Formula, we need to adjust the number of minutes in our school day for next

school year. We will start school on August 30, 2016 next year at 8:00 a.m. This time

adjustment will also allow the teachers to have more time on our early release day to

collaborate to bring exciting lessons to our students and research ways to help our

students be more successful. We will continue to make sure you have all of the

information you need to makes plans for the beginning of the next school year.

We are still striving for excellence in attendance during this last month of school.

Teachers are working hard to make every day count, even the last day. Please make

sure that your student is present on time, every day! We don't want them to miss a

thing!

A few months ago we had a wonderful assembly about conflict management put on by

Kaiser Permanente called "It's Stop Time!" Our students learned that when they find

themselves in a difficult situation that they should STOP, BREATHE and CHOOSE!

As the students are choosing, we ask them to THINK before they speak or act! As

we THINK, we ask ourselves:

Is it True or Trustworthy?
Is it Helpful?

Is it Important or Inspiring?
Is it Necessary?
Is it Kind?

If what we are about to say or do is not any of these, we should not say it or do it!

**Finally, we ask our students to show their Thunderbolt PRIDE. What is Thunderbolt PRIDE you ask?*d staff to show their Thunderbolt What is Th***

It means:

Be a Positive Influence.

Show Respect and

Integrity

Perform Deeds of Kindness

Express compassion!

We also ask everyone to reflect on our Hueneme Guidelines for success:
* BE RESPECTFUL
* BE RESPONSIBLE
* BE KIND
* BE SAFE
* BE POSITIVE
* EXCEL!

Finally, we would like to encourage our students to consider this special request:
"If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because he or she doesn't have many friends or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most popular clothes, PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a HUGE difference in someone's life!"

We have a very busy month ahead! Please check out the website and calendar for all of the wonderful details! With something to think about and a WHOLE LOT of Thunderbolt PRIDE, have a great month!

Hueneme's AR Progress

Attendance

We have passed the end of our 8th month of school! Oh my goodness! Where has the time gone? Now that Winter is gone, let's see if we can get our attendance up so that our average will be greater than 97% Research shows that student attendance has a major impact on how well a child does in school. Our ATTENDANCE BINGO Challenge is in place to motivate our students to be here daily. All of our classes have achieved the attendance goal for Round 1 (pencils)! Nearly all of our classes have achieved goal 2 (Principal's Recess)!
A good number of our classes have received a special Parfait Picnic for having made it to Round 3 of the challenge! Several of our classes are at Round 6 (Special lunch)! How exciting! For each day of perfect attendance (including NO TARDIES!), our classes receive one letter in the word ATTENDANCE. When the class has
completely spelled the word ATTENDANCE, the class receives a prize. Please see the website for more details. Our students and teachers are working very hard to have perfect attendance each day. Tardies continue to be a great challenge. As we tell the
students, "Don't be late; be here by 8:00!" The exterior gates are now closing at 8:00 a.m. Any students arriving after 8:00 a.m. will need to enter through the office. As long as they are in their classroom before 8:05 a.m. the students are on time. We understand that it is often very difficult to get your children up and to school every day,
especially during the cooler winter months, and we definitely cannot have excellent attendance at our school without you. We appreciate your assistance in helping our children to be responsible and learn the good habit of punctuality and promptness. The GREAT news is the Saturday Attendance Academy is WORKING! Please see the Saturday Attendance Academy block for more information!!!

Mrs. Faber -Teacher of the Month!!

Illness and Attendance

Illness also proves to be a great challenge for attendance during the late fall and winter months. Our school nurse, Nurse Arlene, asked us to please remind everyone, especially our students, to cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue. Especially
important is washing your hands or using hand sanitizer after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. In addition, she recommends that we drink plenty of water and choose nutritious foods rather than junk food and candy to help keep our bodies
healthy during cold and flu season. Finally, citrus fruits help provide us with needed vitamin C during this time of year.
