Part 2: Here are some other photos of our Title 1 Heritage Night. Families and students came together for a special presentation and activities.

Our Title I and Heritage Night was a wonderful evening celebrating the diverse cultures and traditions of our school community. Families were invited to bring a favorite food that represented their culture and heritage, allowing everyone to share and experience a variety of delicious dishes. The evening also provided an opportunity for parents to learn more about Title I and how it supports our students and families. Our principal, Ms. Couret, spoke with parents about the Title I program, school resources, and the importance of family involvement in student success. The event brought families, staff, and the school community together to celebrate our diversity and strengthen our partnerships.

Reminder.

Title I Family Night and heritage potluck!
Bring a dish to share with everyone. You can bring a family recipe, or anything that’s easy to share with others. Ms. Couret will present information about Title I then we will all sit down to eat together.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Phoenix Fire Department for visiting our school and teaching our students about the ABCs of Water Safety. Our students learned important information about staying safe around pools and other bodies of water, including the importance of adult supervision, barriers, learning basic water-safety skills and proper swim devices such as life jackets. We appreciate their time and dedication in helping our students become more informed and confident about making safe choices around water. Thank you for helping us keep our students and families safe! Families may also qualify for a free pool fence through a water-safety grant program. If you have a pool at your home and meet the program's eligibility requirements, you can apply here: https://www.childcrisisaz.org/what-we-do/pool-fence-program Pool barriers can be an important layer of protection for young children and can help prevent accidental drownings. We encourage families who may qualify to learn more about the program and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to make their homes and communities safer.

Good afternoon,
It has been a great 2 days of testing of i-Ready Diagnostic. Please be reminded many classes will be taking the math test or finishing the reading test the rest of this week and next week as well. We hope everyone is well rested. Save the dates for the following fun activities. We have Peter Piper Pizza Night Aug. 28. And Kona Ice Aug. 28th coming at 2:00pm.
Have a great day Zito!

Our Zito teachers took to the streets for a community drive-through to help spread the word that a new school year is almost here! They proudly waved, greeted families, and shared the exciting reminder that school starts on August 3. We can't wait to welcome all of our students back for a fantastic year of learning, growth, and fun!
