Mariposa Avenue Elementary News

Hello Mariposa Families,

Today we are beginning a fundraiser for our school. We are doing a school fundraiser to raise money to support ongoing programs at our school. Next school year, we will be dealing with reduced funding for our school. Our school has been given extra money for the past 3 years to help mitigate the effects covid had on our students. This funding will be going away next year. We want to continue to be able to support our students with special academic programs, field trips, positive behavior incentives, technology, games and books in the coming year. Please support our efforts by participating in our Cookie Dough Fundraiser. There will be some fun incentives for our students to participate.

Last month I went into every classroom to talk to about our school's anti-bully rules. Please support your child and have them report a repeated hurtful behavior from another student on themselves or any other student. This repeated behavior is considered bullying and it needs to be addressed by staff at our school.

Our Character Trait for this month is Gratitude. I want to say how grateful I am for the students, staff and families of Mariposa. I had a student share with me last week how much he loves this school. I asked him why and he said because everyone is kind and respectful and tries to help each other. I couldn't agree more!

Parent Conferences are coming up the week of November 18th through 22nd. This is an important time to meet with your child's teacher to see the how your child is progressing this year. Please look for teachers to begin reaching out to you to schedule a parent conference time.

If you need to contact me, my email is kristin.finney@sanjuan.edu.

Over the next 61 days (November 1st to December 31st) we have 23 days of school and 6 Half days!

We know that things happen but being on time and present every day is very important. Parents get 10 parent verified illnesses a year, if you bring in a doctors note it gets coded differently and keeps parent illness codes available for emergencies or even just for a mental health day if needed. Most absences occur at the end of school and around the holidays. Three tardy days add up to one absence. if you know your child is going to be absent please call our attendance line at 916-971-5212 , email mariposaabsence@sanjuan.edu or on the San Juan app
