This week our school district maintenance department installed menstrual product dispensers in our Grade 3-5 upper grade student bathrooms. In accordance with Assembly Bill 230 (click HERE), starting in the 2024-25 school year, all schools serving students in Grades 3-12 are to provide free menstrual products, free of cost, in restrooms used by students in Grades 3, 4, and 5.

Each month, different grade levels will participate in various school beautification activities.

In February, TK, Kindergarten, and 1st graders will paint rocks for Empresa’s rock garden.

Use the QR code or THIS LINK to sign up by Friday, 2/7. A permission slip will be sent home next week.

Empresa’s School Beautification Club is led by Mrs. Ventimiglia and Mrs. Breen.

Our attendance efforts are part of a national attendance campaign called, “Be Present, Be Powerful!” This campaign sends the message that showing up matters! Empresa’s hope is to nurture a culture of engagement and attendance at school by responding to absences with care and support, not blame. Building trusting relationships that promote belonging is critical for improving student attendance. Although we are creating a cognizance around attendance and barriers that may lead to absences we also understand that kids get sick and that there are legitimate reasons why your child may be staying home. As a reminder, please keep your child home if they have one or more of these symptoms:

• Fever

• Nausea and vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Cough and difficulty breathing

• Chicken Pox

• Impetigo
