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!

Student Stamina...

Students participated in a school wide assembly last week where we sang and laughed together, then celebrated the Positive Paws. For the next two weeks, students are asked to demonstrate RESPONSIBILTY. What is responsibility? Often the students go to ideas like chores, cleaning up after themselves, however we are asking them to be responsible to their brain. This is your child developing stamina to stick with a learning task, develop a growth mindset to work through learning when it's hard, challenge themselves to participate in class activities, and redirect their thinking to be part of the inquiry when it's difficult. Building the habits of mind to have initiative, curiosity and the urgency to learn.

Lockdown Drill

On Friday the school will have a Lockdown Drill to practice what to do should an unsafe situation be occurring on campus. For our first one, the students will be asked to stay in their classrooms, be quiet while teachers ensure doors are locked, windows are closed. We have installed door blockers so doors are always locked and the blocker can be slid so the door is closed without opening the door. For this drill, teachers will ensure that students are in classrooms and share that this is a drill. Language used will focus on ideas like there is a dog on campus, mountain lion or an unknown vehicle driving on campus. I recommend that you talk with your child about emergency drills as being a way for Mrs. Lunde and staff to practice what we need to do for emergencies like fire, earthquake, unwanted visitor on campus, student/staff health concern, etc. Drills help us to be prepared.
