Hello Roadrunner Families!

I hope you had a lovely week full of family, joy, and tasty food. I spent my week resting, painting my bathroom, and enjoying close friends.

Speaking of tasty food, did you know that we have a resource in our district called The Hub? It is located at Lincoln High School. The Hub is a place to connect families and students with essential resources, services, and programs designed to support whole-child development and family well-being.

These services include:

• Shelf Stable Food
• Produce & Local Food Distributions
• Backpacks & School Supplies
• Hygiene Kits
• College & Career support
• Referrals to County and Local Services

It is our goal to ensure that every family on our campus has what they need to send their kiddos to school happy and ready to learn. Can't make it over to the Hub? Give us a call and we can help facilitate getting items to you here at First Street School! You can contact our front office at 916-645-6330 or our Family Liaison at 916-937-2448 to talk about connecting you to resources.

We're happy to have your kiddos back this week. Remember that the doors for breakfast open at 7:30am, and school starts for TK and Kinder at 8:00am and 1st-5th graders start at 8:15am. We'll see your Roadrunners tomorrow!

Have a super week, Roadrunners!

This week, students will have a review of expectations and rules on campus. Teachers will talk to them about classroom expectations and we'll talk about campus expectations throughout the week as well.

The campus expectations that we will be reiterating with students are below. Check with your student to see which expectations they found to be the most important!

• Roadrunners walk in the halls
• Roadrunners stay out of the halls except for passing from one place to another
• Roadrunners eat snack at the brown tables
• Roadrunners leave cafeteria items in the cafeteria
• Roadrunners avoid the stairs and platforms behind the classrooms

In the cafeteria:

• Roadrunners walk at all times
• Roadrunners stand on their feet with hands and feet to themselves in line
• Roadrunners use quiet voices in the cafeteria
• Roadrunners keep their hands to themselves
• Roadrunners keep their food on their plates
• Roadrunners are respectful to others
• Roadrunners stay in their seat until they are dismissed
• Roadrunners clean up after themselves
• Roadrunners stay at their own table

Hello fabulous roadrunner families,

The PTO would like to thank you for all of your help thus far in the 2024 school year! You have made cakes, brought trick or treat candy, helped with the BEEP store, raised funds by selling your hearts out, and so much more. So far this year, we have already held two fundraisers (The Harvest Festival and Cookie Dough/Believe Kids), hosted two events (The Harvest Festival, Family Science Night), had two BEEP stores and have offered classroom enrichment stipends to our amazing staff members. None of this would be possible without your help!

Here are some PTO updates for you all!

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.
