Week in Review
Last night was PHENOMENAL! We hope all who attended Open House had a great time. Your dedication to our students is a key aspect of all the success we've accomplished this year. Special thanks to SDUSD's Farm to School program for the tasty treats and Pamela King from the Family Engagement Department for her exceptional seminar on promoting literacy at home.
Open House was just the beginning to our end-of-the-year celebrations. In the coming weeks we have students experiencing field trips to the San Diego Zoo, Birch Aquarium, and our 5th graders get the opportunity to learn about physics first-hand at iFly San Diego. Yep, we're going indoor skydiving! Field Day will also return on June 9th in the morning. Stay tuned for more details to come.
This year we are proud to start a new tradition too. In addition to 5th grade promotion on June 14th at 11AM, our Kindergarteners will have their own ceremony the day before. Be prepared for level 10 cuteness!
Our PTA is also looking for new leadership to carry the torch next year. Elections are held each year for all three board positions: President, Secretary, and Treasurer. See the information below and contact current Secretary, Ashleigh Ledoux or Principal, Jeff Friedenberg if you're interested.
Online LCFF Forms Available Now
Each year the district is responsible for collecting information from our students’ families to support the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) process. The LCFF is hallmark legislation that fundamentally changed how all local educational agencies (LEAs) in the state are funded, how they are measured for results, and the services and supports they receive to allow all students to succeed to their greatest potential.
We are collecting information now and it will be applied to the 2023 – 24 school year. We believe that starting now will reduce the burden of collecting information during the busy time of opening school in the fall and will potentially yield more complete information that will increase the amount of funding that schools and the district receive from the state.
We are starting with our online system accessed through the Parent Portal in PowerSchool. In the portal, we ask parents and families to complete a very short questionnaire that increases the district’s opportunity to receive funds from the state. The information is kept confidential and only used for allowed purposes.
Please complete the form in Parent Portal as soon as possible. If you do not have a Parent Portal account, please contact your school to set one up. (Note: some schools do not yet have Parent Portal available.) Paper survey forms will be available later this spring. By completing the survey, you will not only be supporting the district’s efforts, but increasing the chances of your child’s school receiving more of this valuable funding.

Student of the Week
This week's Student of the Week is Salem in Mrs. Wilson's 1st grade class. Salem has been working really hard on being more responsible and making great improvements in his classroom leadership. He consistently uses critical thinking skills to talk about fiction and non-fiction texts. His version of "The Three Little Pigs" is outstanding too! Well done, Salem! Thank you for being a phenomenal Falcon!
