Hello Roadrunner Families!

The weather lately has been very chilly in the mornings! If your student is struggling to find their sweater or jacket to stay warm, it may be in our lost and found. Our lost and found racks are overflowing and we need your help! Please take a moment to go through the lost and found this week to reclaim your student's lost items! Items not claimed this week will be taken to donate. Happy hunting!

We have had a lot of exciting things happening around campus the past few weeks. On January 28th, we held our annual spelling bee. Our 4th Grade winner was Parker G.B. and our 5th Grade winner was Mia G.O.! Getting up in front of the crowd at school is a hard thing, and all of our contestants bravely faced the nerves to compete in this event. Parker was even a substitute and didn't know he was competing until the morning of the event! I am in awe of each one of our contestants, they all did an amazing job! Congratulations to all of our amazing spellers!

Last week, on February 3rd, we were surprised with the installation of our new digital marquee! We knew it would be coming soon, but it was a special surprise to have it installed on Monday! Our incredible PTO worked for nearly two years to save the money for our new marquee, and many community partners contributed generously to ensure that we could reach this goal. Our digital marquee will be a good spot to learn about upcoming events, days off from school, student birthdays, and more! Check it out if you have not yet seen it!

Remember that this week is a short week, with no school on February 14th or February 17th. We hope you enjoy the four-day weekend with your incredible kiddos.

Have a sweet and loving week, Roadrunners!

This week, we talked about what it means to be curious. Curiosity is one of the skills we build in our students to ensure they are successful in life. It is one of our Portrait of a Learner skills. Mrs. Moore did an awesome job talking to our kiddos about what curiosity means and sharing ways to be more curious in life, and students watched a short video of other kiddos describing curiosity. Check it out here!

It is already time to start thinking about next year and the wonderful things we will do with our students in the 2025-2026 school year. Each year, we strive to ensure that all students have their school supplies provided to them by the school. This is part of our AVID organizational goal, as well as part of our culture of abundance on campus.

Due to budget cuts this upcoming year, we are turning to our community to ensure that our tradition of providing students with their school supplies can remain strong.

Below, is an Amazon link, with the items that we typically use throughout the school year. We are asking you to pass this link along to anyone who might be interested in making a donation of school supplies to our school. Items ordered from our Amazon wish list will deliver directly to our school for use in the 2025-2026 school year!

Does your student attend First Street School on an intra-district transfer?

Each year, any student who attends First Street School on an intra-district transfer needs to reapply for their transfer. If you would like your child to continue attending First Street School, you will need to submit a request using the website below. Please note that there are links for both years, be sure to submit your request under the "Next Year: 2025-2026" Label.

Hello amazing Roadrunner families!

We hope you are having a wonderful start to 2025. Can you believe our hundredth day of school is coming up on January 30th?

The PTO has officially paid the bill for our digital marquee and we are expecting its delivery anytime. It will hopefully be installed within the next month! We cannot thank you enough for your partnership in raising the funds needed for this beautiful addition and cannot wait to see it go live!

Next month we will be having our second of three family picnics for the year lovingly named our Love Lunch. We will need a couple of volunteers to make this event a success. Our volunteers will hand out visitor stickers to those coming to have lunch with their students. You can find that sign up HERE. Details on your child's lunch time along with our flyer can be found HERE. Save the date for our third and final family picnic on April 29th!

Want to be more involved on campus? Our PTO is always looking for more input and more volunteers! We are an inviting group of parents whose #1 goal is spreading joy around campus. One of the ways we communicate is via the Remind app. You can register HERE for more information. We would love to meet you at our next meeting on February 5th @ 5pm. Childcare will be provided!

Have a wonderful week!

Your PTO

Box Tops for Education

Box Tops collection continues digitally all year with the Box Tops app. First Street School gets $0.10 for each Box Top scanned for our school. While that isn't much on its own, the whole school community collecting them from Participating Products throughout the year can earn enough to pay for things like software memberships, supplies for classroom activities, or other low cost school support.

• Earn Box Tops for participating products by scanning receipts with the Box Tops app.
• When you shop online or use delivery services, you can earn Box Tops by forwarding your e-receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com or by uploading it with the Box Tops app. Learn more about submitting e-receipts here.

Student Quarantine:

Effective this year, California Department of Public Health has replaced most of the requirements about student quarantine with recommendations. The one remaining requirement is that students who are ill must be fever-free for at least 24 hours without the aide of fever-reducing medications before they are able to return to school. Please see the documents below for more detailed information.
