La Paloma’s Central Campus will host a Harvest Fest for students and families from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Friday, October 30. There will be fun for the whole family including a dunk tank, photo booth, jumping castle, and obstacle course, plus a DJ to make this autumn affair an event to remember. There will be tons of fair food too, like cotton candy, popcorn, nachos, pizza, hamburgers, and hotdogs for sale. Tickets are currently on sale—5 for $1.
With fall, the first report cards and parent-teacher conferences of the academic year arrive. La Paloma Academy, your Tucson charter school, is no exception to this rule. Information on these one-on-one sessions with your child’s teacher will be going home shortly, making this the perfect time to discuss how to ensure these meetings are successful and useful for all involved. Every year there is more research documenting the connections between academic achievement and parental involvement in schools. La Paloma believes firmly that parent engagement in education is vital to the academic success of every student, and encourages parents to be active participants in their student’s academic growth. We all—parents, students, teachers, staff, and administration—play important roles in the achievement of a shared goal: academic and character achievement.
The quarter ends this month and La Paloma Academy, your favorite Tucson charter school, will be sending home report cards soon. Instead of just pin-pointing on the grades, look at these as part of an ongoing conversation about your child’s education. Report cards are a great way to notice and celebrate accomplishments, as well as a tool to help set explicit goals for the upcoming quarter or the rest of the year.
