Dear Parents and Students, I am excited to welcome you back to Draper Elementary for Welcome the 2011-12 school year. I hope you have had a wonderful summer break, and are ready to come back to school with a positive attitude, a desire to work hard, and an appetite for learning. This year you will see some new things happening within the walls of our school and the new direction this will take us. One area I would like to share with you is our Dragon Training program. During the first week of school all our students were trained on our three new school rules: Be Safe, Be Kind and Be Responsible. The students were not only taught the rules, but we also demonstrated how each of these rules should correctly look in various locations. This is an important piece in teaching them appropriate behaviors at school. Then on Friday we also trained our Dragons in a new intervention/ enrichment program we will be using for our academic needs. Every student in the building was assigned to a different teacher for a 30-minute activity. The groups are made up of students from different grades and your Dragon will have opportunities to work with various teachers as well. We will use this training as a way to provide our students academic supports at whatever individual level they need and it will also build better relationships within our school. Thank you for all the support you give our school. This truly is a team effort as we try to provide the best education to our Dragons. I love working with you and your students. Lets make it a great year! -Ms. Kenna Sorensen, Principal
