Good morning GREEN parents/guardians,

Here are some reminders for this week:

-The Trimester 2 Progress Reports were sent home on Friday, January 21. Please find time to sit with your students to review the current grade marks your student is earning. The great news is that ALL students have time to push the grades up - GPA Grade Point Average, as these are mid-trimester marks. Ensure your student is submitting all assignments by visiting Student or Parent Connect on our website. Your child needs to have a quiet space with all materials required to complete homework assignments and projects.

-Your students benefit from a consistent sleeping pattern and plenty of hours to rest and be ready for learning. Students perform better when they’re not mentally or physically tired. Please supervise that your student is NOT staying up using their electronic devices like the cellular phone or Chromebook. Thank you for supporting the learning success of your student.

-Teachers will be administering the mathematics screener on Monday, January 24th, and January 25th. As previously stated, the well-rested student has better chances of performing at their best.

-If your student was absent due to COVID-19 quarantining or isolating, they must stop by the front office to obtain an Admittance Pass. It indicates the student concluded the Public Mandate and is cleared to return to school.

-All students are required to wear a face mask. Please remind your student to bring their mask to school daily. The GREEN Staff appreciates your support as we continue to navigate through this pandemic.

Mrs Melgoza-Vasquez, Principal

Students who have not picked up their at-home Covid test may have their guardian pick one up from the E.O. Green office. These tests were provided by the state for each student in the Hueneme Elementary School District.

Students are to stay HOME if:

-If your student does not feel well, keep them home.

-If your student has any COVID-like symptoms, keep them home.

Home tests or antigen tests are now accepted

-Thank you for keeping our school community safe.

7th and 8th graders are beginning their new sports this week in P.E. Students are either playing soccer or learning ultimate frisbee. Every day, students run and stretch to prepare for the state physical fitness tests.

8th graders have been studying the forces that impact them on Earth. Each day in class they get to participate in hands-on activities, demonstrate critical thinking and practice communication skills.

Students in Dr. Stevens 7th grade science class conducted an experiment about how many calories are burned doing different types of exercise. This will lead them into learning about what things are bodies need after burning calories.

The local high schools are preparing for our Green students to join the OUHSD family. Our students will be previewing the High School Roadshow in a couple of weeks, where they will be informed about the different pathways the local high schools offer. In preparation for the move to high school, parents are encouraged to fill out the Online Enrollment Form as soon as possible. More information about the local high school and the events will be confirmed. Reminders will be sent via text notifications.

National Compliment Day on January 24th offers a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day or to give credit for a job well done!

A compliment has a powerful effect. It can instill confidence in a child, or validate someone’s hard work. A compliment not only improves the receiver’s mood, but it also says something about the giver. It tells them you noticed. Whether we recognize someone’s achievement or their classic style, a compliment can go a long way.

Testing is available to all HESD staff and students ONLY. The testing site is paid through special state grant funds, therefore it is NOT available to the public, including staff and student family members who are not associated with the District.
