Principal's Message

August, 2017

 

Dear La Pluma Families,

 

Welcome to the La Pluma Family, Home of the Panthers!  I am thrilled and honored to be back leading and serving the staff, students, and the La Pluma community!  I look forward to working alongside of you and our wonderful staff to support the academic, social and emotional learning for our students.

 

At La Pluma, our school-wide goal is focused on teaching the whole child by collaborating to develop 21st Century thinkers and problem solvers as well as kids of character.  We are committed to laying the foundation for college and career readiness by teaching our students how to think critically, communicate effectively through writing and speaking, collaborate in teams, and empower our students to be innovative with their ideas (think outside the box).  We are proud of our global and signature practices as well as our systems of support that will prepare our students for secondary level and beyond as well as the becoming positive and productive citizens. 

 

These practices include:

 

  • Professional Learning Communities, where teachers plan and collaborate on behalf of student success
  • 4th and 5th grade AVID Implementation, which focuses on putting systems in place to prepare our students with organizational skills as well as rigorous instructional strategies
  • Positive Behavior Supports, which reinforce positive behavior practices, systems of support, and character education
  • MTSS- Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, which provides academic prevention and intervention support for our students
  • Music, Art, and Choir is also an important part of our mission.  With the support of our amazing P.T.A. as well as our District, we will be providing the opportunity for our students to experience music, art, and choir. 

     

The La Pluma community is a great place to learn!  I know that together we will climb to great heights!  Please join me on this journey by getting involved and being a part of our team.  It’s going to be a great 2017-2018 school year as we step out on The Trail to New Adventures!

 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Terry Pace, M. Ed.
