Principal’s Message
Dear Good afternoon Marina Vista Families!
Our campus was filled with creativity, laughter, and plenty of school spirit as we celebrated reading through our Spirit Week activities. From dressing up as favorite book characters to bringing stuffed animals and showing off some wonderfully crazy socks, our students, staff, and families jumped right in and made the week a blast!
While we love seeing our Hawks show their school spirit, we always want to remember that the heart of everything we do is learning. Our goal is to provide the very best learning experiences for every student, building strong skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. We believe learning should be engaging, affirming meaningful, and fun, and finding creative ways to bring those experiences to life is something we take great pride in!
Next week, we have a special opportunity to recognize and celebrate the incredible teachers who make a difference in the lives of our students each and every day. Our teachers work hard to create welcoming, supportive classroom environments while maintaining high expectations for student learning. They thoughtfully adjust instruction, provide individualized support, and meet students where they are so that each child can continue progressing toward their learning goals.
Teaching is much more than delivering a lesson. It is building relationships, recognizing individual strengths, encouraging perseverance, and finding ways to help every student succeed. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, care, and commitment our Marina Vista teachers bring to their classrooms. Please take a moment next week to share a kind word or a simple thank you with your child's teacher. Those words of appreciation go a long way! As we head into another week, let's continue to celebrate our students, appreciate our teachers, and encourage one another. We are thankful to be part of such a caring and supportive school community. It truly takes all of us working together to help our Hawks soar!
Have a great weekend Marina Vista and be safe in the rainy weather. |

Parent-Teacher Conferences Are Next Week!
Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up next week, November 16–20. Students will have minimum days throughout the week and school will end a 12:50 each day. These conferences are an opportunity to connect with your child's teacher, hear about the learning taking place in the classroom, celebrate progress, and discuss upcoming goals and areas where additional support may be helpful. We believe the strongest partnerships happen when communication goes both ways. Your insights, questions, and feedback are important, and working together helps us better understand and meet the needs of every student. We look forward to connecting with you!

Marina Vista's Daily Attendance Goal is 96% & Chronic Absenteeism Goal is 10% or Less
|
The graph below represents Marina Vista's average daily attendance (ADA) for each day of the month, as well as our current chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more of school) rate. Please let us know how we can support you in getting to school daily, and on time. Let's work on arriving on time and being at school each day. Be sure to ask our team about Short Term Independent Study if you are in need and or Saturday Academy. |
Attendance continues to be a top priority at Marina Vista. Each school day provides opportunities for students to learn something new, practice important skills, build friendships, and grow in confidence. Being at school consistently and arriving on time helps students make the most of every learning opportunity. If there are challenges affecting your child's ability to attend school regularly or arrive on time, please reach out to our team. We want to work with you and help however we can! |
