I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for the heartwarming birthday wishes. . Your kindness truly touched my heart and made my special day even more memorable. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of such a supportive and caring school.

Also, thank you to Jamie Bisant for her dedicated efforts in bringing Down Syndrome awareness to our campus. Jamie's inspiring message, and Joey's infectious energy, lit up our Monday assembly like never before!

Spring Break, it's just around the corner! I hope each and every one of you has a fantastic time filled with relaxation, adventure, and quality time spent with loved ones. Whether you're traveling or staying local, I encourage you to make the most of this well-deserved break and return refreshed and rejuvenated for the final stretch of the school year.

When your child must be absent for any reason, please call the office at 858-988-2200 by 9:00 a.m. every day of non-attendance, giving the exact reason for the absence. You can also email Renee Erickson at rerickson@sandi.net

Any child arriving after 7:50 a.m. must stop in the office and pick up a tardy slip. This is disruptive to your child and the entire class. Let's set good habits early in the school year to arrive on time.

Whew...that's a lot of information. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email me, Tracy Rebelo, or Renee Erickson. We are thrilled for you to join our Silver Gate family.
