Principal’s Message
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
Thank you for coming out to our Back to School Night, especially on such a warm evening. It was great to see classes spilling over with parents. A special thanks to Erika Schuetze, our PTA president, for sharing her vision and goals for our PTA this year. PTA meetings will be in the evenings in order to include as many parents as possible. Childcare will be provided by the YMCA. The first meeting is on Tuesday, September 12.
Lunch recess is a busy time at Los Ranchos. It is a time to connect with old friends and cultivate new friendships. Students take on new athletic challenges on the field, on the structures and the blacktop. And, we have some rousing games of four square. It is all supported by our amazing team of parent noon-supervisors. We are looking for a few more parents to join the team. The noon-supervisor’s job is to keep students safe and to facilitate conflict resolution between students. This is not a high paying job, but it pays off in huge dividends in other ways.
As a noon-supervisor you build rapport and relationships with all the students, reaching way beyond your child’s immediate circle of friends. The relationships you build with your child’s schoolmates will be invaluable as your child moves on to middle school and high school. As a noon-supervisor you are a key player in building community for your school and your child. The more connected we are as a community, the healthier the community is for our children. Please let Cherie know at cbruce@slcusd.org if you are interested in this position. It is from 12:00 - 1:00, Monday - Friday. We also encourage parents to sign-up if they can only do a couple days a week.
Have a great three day weekend!
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
