The staff and students enjoyed spreading kindness throughout the campus as we participated in Kindness Week activities. Thank you to all families who participated.

Today, students enjoyed a movie reward party in the cafeteria for entering the Tell Me A Story Writing Contest. We are so excited to see whose story will be chosen to be acted out by the Imagination Machine Assembly next Tuesday. Thank you families for encouraging our panthers to be authors!

We still have room in our literacy class for parents. Mrs. Ashton will be teaching the Latino Family Literacy Class in English where families will learn about ways to help build literacy in your students through the love of reading.

Thank you for adhering to our school uniform policy. Please remember that the school uniform is plain blue or khaki pants or skirts with no stripes or designs. Sweats, joggers, leggings, and jeggings are not permitted as uniform bottoms. The uniform shirt is a blue or white shirt with a collar. Please do not send your student to school in only a jacket or sweatshirt without a uniform shirt underneath. The full uniform policy is listed below for more details. If you need assistance with uniforms please call the school office at 562-804-6528 and ask for Edna Amezcua. We are here to help our panther families.

In a world where our students have access to information at the touch of a button, we are working to prepare them to continue to make PAWSitive choices when online. The website https://www.commonsense.org/education offers families resources and newsletters, information about movies, and best media lists for families. Please check out this information and discuss it with your students so that we can ensure that our students have the tools necessary to make great choices when in person and online.

Students have access in their Clever accounts to a program called Paper Tutoring. This program is for students in grades 4 through 12 and it is completely free on-demand tutoring assistance. Please remind your students that this is available to them should they want or need any help on any assignments.
