Spring is coming!! And so is Spring Break! The rest of the school year is going to fly by! There is no doubt this has been both the longest and the shortest year ever! 

Upcoming Events: When we get back from Spring Break, there are a few events coming. 

First, is our Read-A-Thon(4/6-4/16). Information will be coming home Friday. Many of you opted out of fundraisers by making a donation. That is wonderful. Students can participate and earn tickets by simply reading. 

Second, is the Book Fair(4/12-4/16): We will have another book fair that will run just like it did last time. Students will come to the library in small groups to look at and purchase books. More information to come. 

Also, Pennies for Patients: Pennies for Patients is also coming! This is one of our favorite fundraisers to give back to our community and help others. 

Please see the latest communication from the district:

This last week brought us sunshine and beautiful weather. Man, did it feel great! Next week, we will have all of our classes back on campus. Things are definitely moving in a positive direction.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! We have another great week ahead!

 

And like that, March is here! Just a few weeks until Spring Break. Then, as we all know, the rest of the year flies by! I cannot believe it. Take a second to reflect on what a year it has been! It was not easy, but we all worked together and overcame each obstacle. It is nothing short of amazing! You are all amazing! 

Statewide Testing/ CAASPP: This part of the year is when we have our statewide testing for grades 3-5. Parents, look out for an email coming this week with information about testing. 

DROP OFF REMINDER: When you are dropping off your children in the morning, please pull all the way forward. It causes a lot of traffic issues when cars stop right in front of school. This last week, there was almost an accident as a result of this. We have people available to help your child get to class, if they need it. Or, you are welcome to park and walk your child to the gate. Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Yet, another monumental event that our children get to witness. The touchdown of 'Perseverance,' the rover, that landed on Mars. There is one thing I want my own children to get out of this event and that is the perseverance it has taken to make this happen! All of the hard work: the risk taking, the failing and the trying again. Simply incredible! It will be fun to see what we learn as we get more information from this mission. 

This week is conference week, so all of you will get to see what your students are learning and how they are doing. I love conferences with my children's teachers. It is so fun to hear their perspective and insight. Does anyone else get a little sad when their child moves on to middle school and there is no longer a conference? Or is it just me? 😊

IMPORTANT: For conference week, ALL KINDERS will attend school from 8:15am-11:15am. Please set your alarms and reminders! Students grades 1-5 will all be released at 11:35am.

2) As a cautionary measure, if a family member is awaiting a COVID-19 test, awaiting results, or potentially exposed to a positive case, we ask you to self-quarantine your children until results are in.
