Importance of Attendance
Just a gentle reminder....school starts at 7:40 a.m. It is very important that your child arrives to school on time every day. Important information is given during our morning announcements.
Attendance is key to taking advantage of all the resources and tools our teachers have to offer and to help your child be successful. There are several holidays built into our school calendar, so please try to plan your vacations or appointments in conjunction with the school's holidays so that your child does not miss any important instruction. Thank you
If your child will be absent, please call the attendance line to report 209-858-7360 press 1
Harvest Festival
The Harvest Festival was a big success! thank you to everyone who donated and volunteered their time to make this event a success! We could not have done it without our Community Club.
BMX Assembly
We had our first assembly this month! Go Big BMX Air Show came to school and did our Anti-Bullying Assembly! All students watched the exciting show. Community Club put this together for our school with the fundraisers they provide throughout the year! A big shout out to our brave teachers for having the courage to let them jump over youš
Family/Parent School Climate Survey
Thank you to all who attended the Harvest Festival. We are thankful for all the support! The PBIS booth and PBIS Dueling Basketball game earned $413 which will be used for student prizes and rewards. If you were unable to attend or did not see the QR code to complete the Family/Parent School Climate survey, please take a few moments to share your feedback and suggestions.
Thank you!
SBRC (Standards Based Report Card)
An email was sent home regarding our SBRC. This will explain the important changes you will see in your childās new report card.
Here are just a few changes:
Instead of seeing an overall grade in each subject, parents will see a āmarkā next to each learning goal for the year in each subject ā these learning goals are known as standards!
Trimester 1 Report Card Distribution
Trimester 1 report cards will be distributed on November 15, 2024. You can also access your childās report card through Q Parent Connect. Please reach out to your childās school if you have any questions regarding report card distribution.
More Information about Standards-Based Report Cards
