Hi Ditto Parents and Families!
We are sending you well wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving filled with precious memories and fun times. Our students will return to school on Monday, November 30th.

I challenged our Ditto Teachers and Staff to a sticker challenge today- something pretty easy but so powerful. I asked them to choose a sticker from a pile I brought to school that resonates most to them or that will motivate them during this time and to send me a selfie. As everyone knows, these are hard times for all of us. When I started receiving their pictures, I was so empowered by some of their positive choices so I decided to make a video. I chose Andy Grammer’s song “Don’t Give Up on Me” because I think it’s important for us to be reminded of this during these difficult days.
👉Our promises to you:
*Parents, we will never give up on you no matter how hard these days can get. We will figure it out together.
*To our students, we will never give up on you. There will be hard days, but we are always here to love and support you. Your teachers are your biggest fans!
*We will never give up on ourselves. We may have long, hard days but we promise to give you 110% each and everyday.
To our virtual learners: We miss you more than you know. We will be right here waiting for you and ready to welcome you back to school when you return.
***I am sharing with you because I hope some of their words encourage you as well today. I hope it resonates with you and helps you keep pushing forward. Don’t forget we are stronger together.
~
We will always be the Ditto Tribe. ❤️

Good Evening Ditto Parents and Happy World Kindness Day! 🙂
I hope that someone was able to bring some sparkle and kindness to your day today! We are rockin' and rollin' here at Ditto and we sure do miss our virtual learners at home-please send them my virtual hugs! Please see below for updates/reminders:
Arrival/Dismissal: Thank you for your continued patience with us as we make sure our Rangers get to and from school safely. As a reminder, please make sure you complete your child's COVID screener and have it ready to show your approval when we arrive to your car each morning. Don't forget the tardy bell rings at 8:20 so please make sure your Ranger is on time.
National Native American Heritage Month: We love celebrating each other and learning about our different cultures here at Ditto! Our students have been learning fun facts each day during announcements and we have cultural learning cards placed throughout the hallways. Please feel free to ask your Rangers anything cool they've learned this week!
COVID Updates: Please continue to check our district and school website for any COVID related updates. You may also check the dashboard for any student/staff exposures that may take place on our campus. A notification letter/update is added anytime we have a positive case. We have had instances in which a class has had to quarantine and if this impacts your child in any way, you receive a personal phone call from an administrator or our school nurse. We will continue to do all that we can to keep our campus safe and clean for our Rangers.
Pajama Day for Staff and Students Next Friday! All students and staff will wear their fav pajamas to school next Friday to kick off the start of our Thanksgiving Break! We can't wait to see them having fun in their PJs!
Thanksgiving Break: As a reminder, our Thanksgiving Break will be Monday, November 23-27. Students will return to school on Monday, November 30th (unless of course they are remaining virtual). We hope that you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break filled with love, laughter and special memories.

PARENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOL INVOLVEMENT
Ditto parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education. While some parents can only be involved by working with their child at home, checking backpacks for notes, going over school papers, and reading with their child, others may want to become involved directly on the school campus.
PTA
All parents are encouraged to join and become involved in PTA. Notices of meetings are published on the Ditto calendar, which can be found on the HOME page of this website. You may also go to www.dittopta.com for more information. Also follow us on Facebook, Ditto Elementary PTA.
