School year 2012-2013 officially starts on Tuesday, August 14th. We have an early start, three weeks earlier than usual due to efforts to "maximize environments for learning" which includes alignment of testing schedules.
Bell Schedule:
| 7:45 am | Breakfast Program Begins |
| 8:10 am | Class Begins |
| 10:25 - 10:45 am | Recess - Grades 4 & 5 |

| 1:45 pm | Dismissal, Grades 1 - 5 |
Room 20 will be the new house of this class. They were in Room 8 for the longest time and this will definitely be a big change for the students, in terms of their access to the bathrooms, main school entrance, and to their mainstreaming classes. But I am confident, as well that they will soon get used to it as it has easy access to the Computer Lab, the play yard, and the cafeteria.
This room is relatively much larger and we have so much space to fill. I can't wait to see this room get so active and busy.
The yard is so accessible to the bungalows, and hearing the voices of children out on the yard is very encouraging of the great future awaiting all of them.
The first morning assembly was not held until the following week. It's a great Pali tradition to show Pali spirit by wearing either blue or white, and all members of the community-teachers, staff, administration, parents, and students- together as a single learning community every Monday.
We are Pali!
Pali rocks!!!
