Hello Jaguars!

April showers bring May flowers! Sunshine is in the air, the temperatures are warming, school spirit continues to grow.

As we continue to move through the third trimester, we continue to plan and prepare for spring assemblies, Science Camp, STEAM night, promotion, and much, much more. As always, Mossdale is a place Where The Making Of Success Stories Happens Daily!

Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can do to support your student in any way!

Attention families! CAASPP Testing begins on April 8th! This is a chance for students to show just how much they have learned this year in English and math. State testing occurs in grades 3-8 only. Some grades also test in science.

Students, here are some testing tips to help you:

1. Bring a fully charged device each day.

2. Be sure to get a good night's sleep.

3. Eat breakfast either before school or in class at school.

4. Do your best on each question.

5. Stay positive!

Mossdale School was excited to welcome guest readers from the community to read to our students. Readers volunteered their time from many organizations. A few include: The City of Lathrop, Lathrop Fire District, Lathrop Police Department, Manteca Unified School District, Lathrop High School, Lathrop Sunrise Rotary, Mossdale Student Leadership and more!

In March, we celebrated students who demonstrated the Power of the Paw value of being Problem Solvers. Congratulations students!
