Veterans Day - No School November 10th

This year there will be no school on November 10th in observance of Veterans Day. Veterans Day (November 11th) is observed to honor veterans of the armed forces and those killed in the country's wars. The observance originated in 1919 on the first anniversary of the 1918 armistice that ended World War I and was known as Armistice Day.

School Accountability Report Card

What Is a School Accountability Report Card? Since November 1988, state law has required all public schools to prepare and distribute annually a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The purpose of the report card is to provide parents and the community with important information about the performance and condition of each California public school. The SARC can also be an effective way for a school to report the progress it has made toward achieving its goals. In addition, the public may use the SARC to evaluate and compare schools throughout the state on a variety of indicators.

The 2021-2022 SARC Letter will provide the most recent SARC information and links.

Leader in Me Monthly Habits

Our next Leader in Me focus is Habit 3: Put First Things First. Our next awards assembly on December 7th will recognize students who put first things first!

People who put first things first focus on the important, not just the urgent, act on priorities, plan weekly, and act daily. You are putting first things first when you organize your time around the most important things and eliminate the unimportant.

Kid Language

Work First, Then Play: I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

Ways to practice Put First Things First:

Talk with your family about your most important jobs or responsibilities, such as doing homework, making the bed, or taking out the garbage.
Do your chores before being asked.
Do the hardest part of your homework first.
Think of something you’ve been putting off for a long time, like cleaning up your room or pumping up the flat tire on your bike. Go do it right now!
