Hello Roadrunner Families!

Thank you so much to our families for always coming through for all of our awesome events and fundraisers. From the fantastic showing at the Harvest Festival, to coming in at the last minute to ensure we had enough candy and trinkets for our Trick'o'Treat parade, to the wonderful effort put into our Believe Kids Cookie Dough Fundraiser.

We have such a special community and I am so honored to be a part of it!

Our kids did a great job with our fall fundraiser, bringing in funding to support the fun events and supports that our PTO contribute to our school culture. If you ordered any perishable items from our Cookie Dough fundraiser, they will be arriving at our school on Wednesday, November 6th. Our PTO will work to get the items organized in the morning to facilitate a smooth and quick pick-up process.

To pick up items, please come to the cafeteria front door between 2:30pm-5:30pm on Wednesday, November 6th to pick up your items. We do not have extra storage space, so it is important to have your items picked up this day. Please make arrangements to have someone help get your items if you are unable to come during this time. We want everyone to get their items fresh and cold on the day of our distribution.

We are excited to have a great week with your kiddos!

Happy November, Roadrunners!

It's a favorite day each month! BEEP Store Day! This is the day that students get to cash in their BEEP cards for prizes on the BEEP cart. Students love receiving BEEP cards for following our BEEP expectations on campus, and love cashing them in for prizes even more!

Ask your student what they will use their BEEP cards for this month!

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.
