A Note from the Principal
Dear Olmito Elementary Families,
We’re thrilled to share that October has been a month full of events and enriching learning experiences here at Olmito Elementary School! From engaging lessons in the classroom to wonderful school events, our students have been growing, learning, and achieving so much. As we look forward to more opportunities for growth, we want to keep you updated on the exciting activities and important reminders coming up.
📚📚Thank You for a Wonderful Literacy Trunk or Treat! 📚📚
A heartfelt thank you to all of our families who supported our 2nd Annual Literacy Trunk or Treat last week! It was inspiring to see so many families come together for a fun evening of reading and literacy. We appreciate the parents who volunteered their time to host a book-themed trunk and read aloud during the event, as well as those who donated candies, pencils, bookmarks, and other treats. Your support made this event a huge success and a truly memorable night for our students and families!

❤️❤️❤️ Celebrating Red Ribbon Week ❤️❤️❤️
This week, we are excited to celebrate Red Ribbon Week at OES with daily dress-up themes and special presentations. To support a healthy, drug-free lifestyle, students in grades 2-5 will have a visit from the US Border Patrol, while Pre-K through 1st grade will enjoy a presentation from McGruff the Crime Dog! Thank you for encouraging a lifestyle free from drugs and for helping us share this important message with our students.
🦃🍂Thanksgiving Luncheon Tickets On Sale 🍂🦃 (Please READ CAREFULLY)
Thanksgiving Luncheon tickets for ECSE, Pre-K, Kinder, and 5th grade students will be available starting Monday, October 28, 2024. Please note that there is a limit of two guests per student, and each ticket is $6.00. Tickets may be purchased in the front office (exact change or checks payable to Olmito Elementary, please). The deadline to purchase tickets is Friday, November 8, 2024, with no exceptions. We thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to create a safe, enjoyable experience for all families.

✅✅✅ Attendance News ✅✅✅
Our attendance has been strong overall, though we have noticed that Mondays and Fridays tend to have lower attendance rates (often as low as 93%). Please keep in mind that Mondays are important for introducing new weekly skills, while Fridays are typically used to assess those skills. When students miss these days, it can set them back in their learning. Thank you for helping us ensure that students are present and engaged each day so they can continue to grow and succeed.
👀👀Professional Learning Day Reminder – No School for Students 👀👀
On Friday, November 1, 2024, students will have a day off as our teachers engage in Professional Learning. Please plan ahead for this student holiday. We look forward to seeing your children back in school on Monday, November 4!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making Olmito Elementary a wonderful place for students to learn and grow. We are looking forward to the many exciting activities and the continued success of our students.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Garcia
Principal, Olmito Elementary School
