This year, each classroom created a unique mission statement, developed jointly by students and teachers. These mission statements are meant to guide behavior and help foster a respectful learning environment. Once the mission is written, each student signs the document to demonstrate their commitment. This process empowers students to take responsibility for their learning and contributes to building a positive school culture. By involving students in the process, Sherman Oaks students are more engaged and invested in building a supportive, inclusive community. We are excited to live out our missions! We will be showcasing some of the mission statements displayed around our campus. Make sure to ask your child about their classroom’s mission statement.

To celebrate, we will be holding a contest for everyone to participate. Students can showcase their creativity by designing a stamp featuring an influential Latin American person or a symbol of Latin culture (for example, an influential Latino, a favorite Latin food, a doll, etc.). Students will receive a template from their teacher but you can also find the template HERE.
Submissions must be turned in to the front office or to your student’s teacher before Friday, October 18.

Regular, on-time attendance is essential for building good habits and academic success. As the school year begins, it's important to stress that being in school every day helps your child stay on track with lessons, engage in activities, and strengthen their learning foundation. This leads to better grades and a deeper understanding of the material.
Attendance also instills key life skills like responsibility, punctuality, and perseverance. It fosters strong relationships with peers and teachers, which supports social and emotional growth. Missing even a day or two can set your child back, so prioritizing attendance is crucial. Thank you for your continued partnership to ensure student success!

On May 10th, after our Friday morning during drop off, we invited all mothers, grandmothers, and caregivers to our courtyard for a Mother’s Day serenade. Our Mariachi instructors and students dedicated and performed a few songs. Our parents and caregivers sat on the Courtyard steps and enjoyed some beautiful music to honor them and all they do to support their students.
