Week at a Glance - November 9th

NB Ranch will be closed this Wednesday, November 11th, in observance of the Veterans Day holiday.

Dear Bronco families,

Our 2nd Grade Family Picnic is this Thursday, November 12th! We are so excited to celebrate with them!
To help make sure our picnic guests can park easily, we kindly ask that the main parking lot be saved just for 2nd grade families during the event.

Please also keep the areas in front of the office and the bus loop clear so drop-off, pick-up, and daily campus traffic continue running smoothly. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and support of our school community!

If your child was selected as a Trimester 1 Bronco Award recipient, you should've received a letter, text, and/or email notifying you of this.

We would love for you to join us at our Awards Assembly on Friday, November 13th in the MPR at the following times by grade:
8:15 am - Kindergarten and 1st Grade
9:00 am - 2nd and 3rd
9:45 am - 4th and 5th

Students will receive a Bronco Tag sponsored by our PTA in one of the following categories:
Empowered Learner: "I am curious, self-directed, and able to overcome challenges in pursuit of my interests and goals".
An empowered learner consistently applies learned skills and knowledge to real-world problems. Self-advocates and persists through challenges, takes risks, and approaches learning with a growth mindset.

Ethical Scholar: "I find opportunities to make a positive impact on my community and demonstrate integrity, respect, and compassion".
An ethical scholar stands up for what is right in pursuit of making a positive social impact, holds oneself accountable for thoughts, words, and actions, and seeks to understand diverse perspectives and cultures.

Empathetic Collaborator: "I actively listen, engage, and recognize diverse perspectives to achieve a common goal".
An empathetic collaborator ensures equity of voice, ideas, and compromise, builds on the strengths, interests, and assets of others, and honors others’ experiences and points of view through respectful dialogue.

Effective Communicator: "I am an effective listener and can clearly express ideas, receptive and responsive to others’ input and ideas".
An effective communicator communicates with confidence across various media and maintains a responsible digital footprint, communicates with an awareness of audience and context, and communicates with purpose and expresses coherent ideas.

Creative Problem Solver: "I seek opportunities to creatively design solutions, solve complex problems, and act on novel ideas".
A creative problem solver asks questions, explores multiple points of view, and pursues solutions to major problems, embraces challenges, understands that failure is part of the learning process, and approaches challenges with a “can-do”
attitude.

Critical Thinker: "I am an inquisitive learner who can reflectively and critically analyze information".
A critical thinker asks questions with confidence and seeks to understand how the world works, demonstrates mastery of essential knowledge and skills through reflection and revision of my thinking, and is willing to reconsider personal views when presented with a compelling perspective.

We hope you are available to join us in celebrating your child’s achievements.
