Dear Las Positas Families,

It's hard to believe 2024 has come to a close. I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the warm welcome I have received since joining the Las Positas community. Your kindness and support have made my transition truly special. It is obvious what a wonderful, supportive community this is.

As we are immersed in the holiday season, I wish you all a joyful and peaceful time with your loved ones. Thank you for being such an important part of our school family.

Warmest regards,

Jackie Jenkins

Hello Las Positas Parents!

I want to thank all the teachers, parents, and students who came out to run with us for the Run for a Claus event last Saturday! If you and your family are interested in running in a race, we have another race that we participate in called the Kids Run the OC! This event will take place on May 3, 2025. Here is the link to register: https://runsignup.com/Race/Register/?raceId=135935

If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to reach out!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be hosting another Donuts with Do on January 16, 2025 at 8:30am in Room 204. Our topic will be on students' self-esteem. Donuts & Refreshments will be served and small children are welcome.
