Dear CVES Mineville Families & Community,
Looking forward to a great school year! Dr. Grace Stay – Principal |
| Dear Families and Friends, Welcome to all for our 2019-20 school year. We look forward to working with your children and with you as a family. Our new school year offers an opportunity to continue to cultivate a culture of caring here at the William A Fritz Center. Our special educators, counselors, related service professionals, and staff are experts at patience and compassion. Our team approach lets us move ahead with academic, social- emotional, and wellness initiatives. This year we welcome cafeteria services with our own staff with an emphasis on healthy foods with salad and fruit items daily, as well as “homemade” items for breakfast and lunch, free to all students. The Backpack Program coordinated with JCEO is fully funded for this year and will include 10 elementary students for a backpack of food items for the weekend to combat hunger. WAF PBIS Team is laying the groundwork for our students to connect, contribute, and build character. The movement for our school to becoming trauma-transformed will include a Mindfulness Room for elementary students, a pilot project to help develop children’s coping skills and self- regulation. More good news is that BHSN will provide WAF with a dedicated counselor one day a week. Our Resource Fair and Open House will be October 9th from 4 pm to 5:30 pm. Please save the date. Healthy foods will be served for the dinner from 4:30 pm to 5:15 pm and many community organizations will be here to provide you with information. Our support for our learning community continues to grow. We welcome your feedback. Looking forward to supporting your child and your family as we make the journey to a successful year. Sincerely, Daniel Valenzuela, Principal |
