1. Fully charged iPad

2. Water bottle

PLEASE LABEL YOUR CHILD'S BACKPACK, LUNCHBOX, WATER BOTTLE, AND ANY JACKETS/SWEATSHIRTS WITH THEIR FIRST AND LAST NAME. THANK YOU!

Should students forget an item at home (stuffed animal, iPad, water bottle, etc), we will not call home and ask a parent to bring the forgotten item to school. It is our goal to help students to be responsible for the items they need at school each day.

We had a wonderful week celebrating staff appreciation. The flowers, high-fives, laughs, and other forms of gratitude were amazing. Our staff also enjoyed a catered lunch from our fabulous PTA, gifts and daily treats from Admin. Thank you to all of our Paloma families for making this week so special for everyone!

We will NOT interrupt classrooms to deliver items brought during the school day. Should a water bottle, jacket, homework, etc. be dropped off in the front office for a student, we will email the teacher to let them know that the item is up in the office. Teachers are teaching and may or may not see the email before the end of the school day. Upon reading the email, teachers may send a student to the office to collect the item when it is convenient. There are multiple water fountains on campus for students to access water should they not have a water bottle. We will not interrupt instruction by calling classrooms about a delivery or to give a message.

Best practice is to pack up iPads, water bottles, jackets and backpacks the NIGHT BEFORE so that all items are ready to go in the busy mornings. Thank you for your help with this!

We will not have ANY before school clubs from May 6 - May 17 due to CAASPP testing. This means that Garden Club, The Clean Up Crew, Kindness Club, and Student Council will have NO meetings for ANY students in this two week period. Before School Clubs will resume the week of May 20th. Each club advisor will inform their club participants when the next scheduled meeting will be AFTER May 20th.

Any student who does not have a completed Annual Update:

• may not be enrolled in a class for the 24/25 school year

• may not receive a schedule

• and may not be able to participate in school business days in August.

It is imperative that all families complete the Annual Family Update as soon as possible to prevent any delay in your child's enrollment for next school year.

The next school year will be starting before we know it. Take some time to look over the instructional calendar NOW so that you can plan appointments and trips on NON SCHOOL DAYS. Every School Day Counts. Learning happens when students attend school.

Students are invited to complete a postcard to decorate in ways that represent their culture. Postcards will be displayed at the Temecula Cultural Festival on May 18th in Old Town. If your student is interested in participating, postcards can be picked up and returned to front office.

When using the loop to pick up or drop off your child by car, PLEASE.....

• Only park in appropriate areas. The pick up loop can be a very busy place, especially on modified days. However, it is important to remember to only park in designated parking spaces. Please do not park along curbs that are painted red. Please do not park in handicap spots unless you have a handicap placard. If there is not parking available when you arrive, you will need to park on the street and walk to meet your child or join the pick up loop. If you are parked in these areas, you will be asked to move.
• Always use the crosswalks.
• Do not use the parking lot as an additional pick-up line. This blocks access to parking spaces, including handicap spots. If there is not an open parking spot, please pull through and go around again to look for an opening or join the loop pick up line.
• Stay in your car when using the loop. If your child needs assistance entering or exiting the car, please park in the lot and walk them to their gate.
• Move all the way forward as directed by the school staff.
• In the morning, do not wait until your child reaches the gate to pull away. Staying in the loop and watching your child walk in through the gate, slows the flow of traffic. If you would like to watch your child enter the gate, please park your car and walk your child.
• At dismissal, do not stop in the loop and wait for your child to come your direction, instead pull up when there is space to pull forward. Pull all the way forward and continue to move forward with the traffic. Your child will walk down towards you.

Thank you!
We appreciate your continued cooperation and patience.

Every month at Paloma, all students will be focusing on a new Thriver Trait from Michele Borba's book, Thrivers.

For the last 8 weeks of school, we will be focusing on Optimism!

This week, ask your child what they learned about Optimism at school!

All students are able to receive a free breakfast and hot lunch, please make sure your child knows whether they have brought a lunch or if they need to get one from our cafeteria. Breakfast is served at recess. Click on the menu below to view both the breakfast and lunch menus.
