Principal's Message ๐
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. We have lots of learning to do, with only three more weeks together before our next break. Please make the most of these next few weeks, and ensure that your children attend school each day. Teachers have strategically designed significant learning activities that will enhance the students' understanding when they resume classes in January.

Notes From the Office
First Grade Health Exams
Reminder to all 1st grade parents that Health Exam reports are due January 15, 2024. As required by the State of California, each student entering first grade must provide to the school a certificate documenting that the student has received a health examination within 90 days of the start of school. If a health examination was recently obtained for your child, please email me the completed and signed report. Children who received a health screening examination at any time 18 months prior to first grade fulfills the exam requirement. Here is the link to the form.
Lost & Found
The Lost & Found is overflowing with jackets, sweaters, lunch bags and water bottles. Stop by and take a look if your child is missing something. Please remember to label your childโs belongings. It is the best way to make sure we can reunite the item(s). Any items left after 12/22 will be donated.
Independent Study Contract
As a reminder, all requests for an Independent Study Contract (absences of 5-14 days) must be made at least 1 week prior to the start of the absence in order to allow the teacher enough time to prepare the work. Please click HERE to request an ISC.
Thank you,
Mrs. Kaye, Office Manager
