We need your support in guiding our students toward healthy conflict resolution strategies. Recently, we've seen an increase in reports of peer conflicts and online cyberbullying among our 6th-grade students.
This week, Mrs. Antuna and Ms. Coronel will be visiting classrooms to talk about appropriate ways to resolve conflicts. We kindly ask that you continue this conversation at home. Please encourage your child to report any incidents to a trusted adult rather than escalating the situation.
Your partnership is essential in helping our students feel safe and supported.
Also, a reminder that a TDAP booster shot is required before entering 7th grade. Call your child’s health clinic today if it’s missing. Your 6th grader will receive a note from the school if they do not have a TDAP booster.

Families: A reminder that we’re working with students to improve attendance at Gavilan View. We need them here every day and arriving to school on time. They also should be arriving to each of their classes on time.
We send home notifications weekly when your child is tardy. Please check the "Alerts" on your Parent Square App. If you’re receiving these notifications, please talk to your child at home so they avoid being assigned a Saturday School.
Our school goal is to stay above 95% attendance every day. This past week, we met our weekly goal. It was 95.4% but we missed the daily goal on Friday. The breakdown by day was:
-
Monday 4/7: 95%
-
Tuesday 4/8: 97%
-
Wednesday 4/9: 96%
-
Thursday 4/10: 96.2%
-
Friday 4/11: 94.5%
-
Tardies this Week: 79 students had at least one tardy this past week. 23 of them were tardy to first period but 56 were tardy to a class later in the day.
We're a team, families! Let's continue to work together to keep striving for improved attendance and work together to talk to the students about why attendance is important!

This week, we are proud to recognize Ms. Alexis Romero, one of our exceptional Special Education teachers, as our Hawk of the Week!
In her very first year at Gavilan View, Ms. Romero has already made a powerful impact on our school community. Nominated by her peers, they shared: "Alexis has made a tremendous impact on her students and is an invaluable member of our team. The relationships that she has built with her students are clearly evident upon entering her classroom. We are so lucky to have Ms. Romero at GV!"
Despite the steep learning curve that comes with a first year in special education, Ms. Romero has taken it all in stride and is excelling in every aspect of her role. As a case manager, she is a strong advocate for her students, working closely with colleagues to ensure each one receives the support and resources they need to succeed. Her students adore her and she has helped them make so much progress this year.
Thank you, Ms. Romero, for your dedication, heart, and the meaningful difference you are making every day at Gavilan View!
