Dear Parents,

We’ve successfully completed the first week back from Spring Break, and it’s hard to believe there are only 8 weeks left in the school year! Time flies, and we are excited to make the most of these final weeks of learning and growth.

As we head into the home stretch, we want to remind everyone that state testing will begin for 3rd through 6th graders on April 15th. To ensure your child is set up for success, please make sure they are well-rested, have a healthy breakfast, and are ready to give their best effort. It’s also important that their computers are fully charged and ready for testing.

Additionally, we want to emphasize the importance of daily attendance, especially in these final weeks. Consistent attendance ensures your child doesn’t miss valuable lessons and is fully prepared for the upcoming assessments.

Also, please note that Wednesday, April 9th, will be a minimum day. Be sure to plan accordingly for early dismissal.

Thank you for your continued support. Let’s finish this school year strong!

Warmly,
Mrs. Herrera
Principal

• Freeze at the bell.
• Walk quietly to your line at the whistle.
• Keep backpacks on or set in line before class begins.
• Stay northwest of the trees.

Responsible & Respectful

• Use equipment appropriately.
• Return equipment to the basket.
• Use good sportsmanship and include others.
• Accept consequences.
• Value the safety of yourself and others.
• Eat your own snacks.

Engaged Community Member

• Share equipment.

Achievement

• Solve disagreements appropriately.
• Follow game rules.
• Avoid sugary snacks.

Safety

• Use equipment safely (e.g., Monkey Bars).
• Kick playground balls only in the grass area.
• Use walking feet on the blacktop and bark box.

By reinforcing these expectations, we can help create a safe, fun, and inclusive playground environment for all students. Thank you for your support in building a positive school community!

Every school day is a chance for your child to grow, learn, and shine! 🎉 Each day is packed with fun lessons and activities that help build important skills and knowledge. When they’re in class, they’re making big strides toward success and staying on track in their learning journey.

Let’s keep teaming up to make every day an amazing one for our students! Thank you for being such a fantastic part of their educational adventure—we couldn’t do it without you! 😊✨
