Anza Trail K-8 School “Reach for the Excellence Within!”
AA WWoorrdd FFrroomm MMrrss.. RRoobbiinnssoonn…… Welcome to the 2016-2017 School Year! Our Anza Staff worked
hard over the summer to prepare for another exciting year at Anza Trail!
Our PTO even
refurbished our Library with new paint, furniture, and more books! In
addition, we have been teaching and reinforcing our classroom and
school rules, routines and procedures, while modeling our Coyote Pact, “As a Coyote, I promise to have High standards, Outstanding attitude, act With
respect and Listen to learn at Anza Trail!”
As we start off the year, we want to applaud the positive habits already
established in our first week of school. Regular school attendance, and
arriving to school on time, is critical to the academic success of your
child. Thank you for bringing your child to school each day and on time.
Thank you also for your ongoing patience with drop-off and pick-up
traffic flows during this heavy beginning-of-the-year season.
Moreover, you should have received AzMERIT Math and ELA (Reading
and Writing) scores for your 3rd-8th grade student. Attached to these
scores is a comprehensive score report with detailed information about
how your child performed on each part. Please remember this is only one
measurement of your child’s academic progress. If you have any
questions, please contact me at
625-352 ext. 1701.
Lastly, we, collectively work to build relationships and maintain a
positive, safe learning environment for all to enjoy. It is our
commitment to continue these efforts as we promote a school climate
that parents and community members feel proud to be a part of as we
strive to “Reach for the excellence within!”
Looking forward to seeing you around campus!
Your Partner in Lifelong Learning,
Darlene Robinson
Fabulous First Grade So much is happening in first grade. The
children are all busy learning classroom procedures and routines and all classes have started sending home weekly homework. If you have questions about classroom or homework procedures, please contact your child’s teacher.
We are jumping right into learning! In math we are learning about different kinds of patterns and shapes. Children will need to know defining attributes of shapes such as number of sides and vertices. When you are with your children, ask them to point out shapes they see.
In reading, we are working on saying all the sounds in a word. This is part of phonemic awareness or the ability to manipulate sounds in words. This important skill is the foundation of learning to read. You can support your child in this area by playing words games as you drive in the car. Say a word such as cat and ask your child to say all the sounds in the word (/c/ /a/ /t/) or say a word and ask your child to think of words that rhyme with it.
We are all looking forward to a fabulous year filled with fun and learning in first grade!
Second Grade Sound-off
The second grade teachers would like to welcome all of the students and families back to school! We enjoyed meeting all of you at Meet and Greet and Parent Night. This month we are teaching classroom and school procedures and expectations. Please continue to review these with your child at home to ensure a successful transition back to school. In addition, we will be covering place value to 1000, story elements, proper nouns and pronouns, as well as practicing handwriting and writing in complete sentences. If at any time you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child's teacher.
We look forward to partnering with you this year.
Kinder ‘Korner’
WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN! This month, your children are working hard to learn rules, expectations, and procedures so they will be ready to learn each day! We are also building our classroom communities and getting to know one another through play. In literacy, we will learn letter names and sounds for the following letters: M, S, A, T, R, as well as a song for each letter! :) We will make lists of words that begin with each letter and go on "letter hunts" in our classrooms. In math, we will explore the numbers 1-5 and match numbers to the correct amount of objects. The Kindergarten team hopes to see you all at our Parent Info Night on Tuesday, August 16th from 5:30-6:00pm.
Third Grade Thoughts
It has been a great
couple of weeks, we are
getting into full swing!
Students are all aware of
our rules and procedures
and are working hard to
follow them. Thank you
so much for sending in
the necessary supplies. Please be sure
to communicate with your child daily
about school. They should be
practicing their spelling words daily as
well as math facts. Students will have
spelling test, reading comprehension
tests, and math formatives on Fridays.
We look forward to a wonderful year of
learning and getting to
know your child!
Fourth Grade Facts
4th graders are off to a
great start! The first week of
school, we spent time getting
to meet new friends and
practicing classroom
procedures. Math this month,
will focus on place value and
problems solving. For
reading, we will be analyzing
character traits, setting,
evidence and themes in
stories. Make sure to ask your
4th grader what they have
learned about our Arizona!
Practicing math facts and
reading at home are crucial
for 4th grade.
Thank you for all the
supplies this school year!
We can't thank you
enough for your support.
Fifth Grade Feedback
Hello 5th Grade Families! We have made it through the start of a new school year! As we continue to enforce routines
and procedures, transition to academic standards, and settle in to a daily schedule, it is a pleasure getting to know your children! If you haven't created an account to monitor your
child's grades, please do so right away! We look forward to the year ahead
and appreciate your support!

Welcome back to school! 6th grade is such a wonderful and fun year. We’re going to be so busy that the year is going to fly by! Please make sure that your child has the supplies that they need in order to be successful. We’d love for them to have everything they need no later than Monday, August 15th. Policies and expectation letters were handed out on the first day. If you have not yet seen one from your child, please ask them for it. An additional copy can be found on Mrs. Eakins’ website (http://eakinsclass.weebly.com). Most general communication will be done by one teacher in order to save time and cut down on repeated emails. Please know that if a teacher does have a question or a concern, they will be contacting you directly though. Also, please feel free to contact any teacher at any time if you have questions or issues. We are so excited about the coming year and are looking forward to getting to know your child.

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year! I am very excited to begin another year! For those students who are enrolled in Spanish classes this year, here is an explanation of each level. At the 6th grade level, students will be exposed to traditions and culture found in Spanish speaking countries around the globe. They will learn some vocabulary that is unique to these areas. At the 7th grade level, students will learn basic, functional vocabulary that will provide them with solid foundation for 8th grade Spanish, if they choose to take it. We learn the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, months of the year, and other vocabulary that is used on a daily basis. The 8th grade Spanish class at Anza Trail is designed to mirror Walden Grove’s Spanish I class. Students who are currently enrolled in this class will receive high school credit if they maintain an A or a B in the class all semester. Students were selected for this class based on their behavior and performance in 7th grade Spanish. If for any reason you need to contact me, please note that I can be reached at [email protected]. Students are also welcome to use my website at www.mrsdelaossa.weebly.com for assignments and notes. ¡Hasta pronto!

If your student qualifies for Reading Lab support, you will receive a letter the week before Reading Lab services begin. Reading Lab services are provided Monday through Thursday for 30 minutes a day in room C133. Ms. Huber and Mrs. Sparks look forward to building students’ phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills this school year! Reading Reminder: All students benefit from reading or being read to for at least 20 minutes a night. Please ensure that your student is meeting this critical goal each and every night!
ART CLASS Coyote artist are hard at work learning about the art classroom, procedures and the art process. Students will begin working on the elements and principles of art through the exploration of different art making media. The after school Art Club will also be up and running by the first week in September. If you are interested, please stop by the art room for information.
A WORD FROM SAFETY PATROL… We are thrilled that we have a new group of Safety Patrol members that are helping to promote safety on our campus. Please remember some important safety guidelines as you drop off and pick up your child: Follow the designated 15 mph speed limit while on campus. Do not use your cell phone when dropping off students. Be alert for support staff members who are helping to guide traffic. Do not block traffic when dropping off or picking up your child. Use the designated areas for drop off and pick up.
Thank you for helping to make Anza a safe campus.
