Wondering what fun events are being planned by PTA? Curious to find out how you can assist in recruiting new TK and Kinder for next year? Join us at Thursday's Membership Meeting to be part of the plan. We are looking for ideas, leaders and volunteers for the Friendship Dance, Read-a-Thon, next year's walk-a-thon, and recruiting for 2022-2023.

Looking for a place to volunteer?

Classrooms teachers are looking for parents to be fingerprinted and registered for field trips, special events, and classroom jobs. Get yourself set up so you're ready to be there when your student needs you.

ALL volunteers must complete the CRPUSD Volunteer Registration Process, which includes fingerprinting. Please complete the application form and get yourself fingerprinted. This MUST be completed before you can volunteer. Once this is completed, you are clear for the duration of your child's school experience in CRPUSD, including high-school and middle school!

Keeping the Balance

As students get sick, as the winter holidays approach us and as dates seem to be coming from every direction, remember to stop, breathe, smile at your child and prioritize what you can do. It's okay to say no, it's okay to be selective and it's okay that what you can do and tolerate is different from another family. Our kids have needs that vary and require us to focus on the child and make the decision that works best for your family.

I urge you to do the following with your kids:

- have a shared book you are reading together

- take time to walk through the crispy fall air

- substitute digital game time with a physical game

- have an early bedtime for your kids so you have adult time for yourself

- trade water for a sugary drink of any kind

-replace sugar or chips/crackers for a piece of fruit or nuts

- hug your child every morning and every night
