Short Week - Big Changes
If you haven't already read in your email, San Diego Unified School District has revised their mask guidance for outdoor activity and resumed participation in field trips. Masks are no longer required outside. Our staff remains committed to being vigilant about ensuring the highest levels of health and safety measures at all times. This change is due to updated guidance from local health officials, precipitously falling case rates, rising vaccination rates, and district advisory members made up of pediatricians and epidemiologists. It's been so fun seeing our students bright smiles out on the playground. As always, the best COVID transmission mitigation strategies include wearing a mask indoors and around large crowds, and vaccination. There are many locations available for receiving a vaccine which is approved for children aged 5 and up and adults. Check out our website's COVID resource page for more details: COVID VACCINE RESOURCES
The next two weeks will be short weeks as we wind down Trimester Two. As a reminder, there is no school on Friday the 18th and Monday the 21st.

Student of the Week - Zita!
This week's Student of the Week is Zita in Mrs. Sperry's class. Zita works incredibly hard at everything she puts her mind to. Her classmates gravitate toward her because she's patient, kind, and a gentle soul. Mrs. Sperry states that Zita is a natural leader and always willing to help her classmates. She's also an awesome big sister to Avery in 1st grade. Congratulations Zita, and thank you for being a phenomenal Falcon!
