Ivy Drive Weekly News - An Amazing Start to the School Year

Good Morning, Ivy Drive School Community:

What an amazing start to the school year! It has been wonderful to welcome our Dragons back to Ivy Drive and see our classrooms and hallways filled with excitement, learning, and connection. During these first days of school, students have been busy meeting new teachers and friends, learning classroom routines, practicing daily expectations, and settling into a successful year of learning and growth.

💚 Welcome, Ms. Blumetti!

Please join us in giving a very warm Ivy Drive welcome to Ms. Olivia Blumetti, who has joined our kindergarten team! We are so happy to have Ms. Blumetti as part of our Ivy Drive family and know she will be a wonderful addition to our school community.

🐉 Showing Our Ivy P.R.I.D.E.

At Ivy Drive, our P.R.I.D.E. values guide how we learn, work, and care for one another each day:
P – Perseverance
R – Respect
I – Integrity
D – Diversity
E – Enthusiasm
Throughout the beginning of the school year, our students are learning what it means to demonstrate P.R.I.D.E. in their classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, playground, buses, and throughout our entire school community. We encourage families to talk with their children about how they showed their Ivy P.R.I.D.E. each day!

🍦 Ice Cream Attendance Class Challenge!

We are kicking off the school year with our Ice Cream Attendance Class Challenge! Being at school on time, every day helps students build strong routines, stay connected to their classroom community, and access all of the learning opportunities happening throughout the school day.  Every school day matters, and every Dragon helps their class get closer to the goal. The first class to earn 10 scoops of ice cream for their class based on their daily attendance WINS! 
Be here. Be on time. Be ready to learn. Every day counts!

Thank you to our students, families, and incredible Ivy Drive staff for making the beginning of the school year so positive and successful. We are excited for all that lies ahead and look forward to another great week of learning, growing, and showing our Ivy P.R.I.D.E.!

Have a wonderful week, Dragons!
