Principal's Message
Parents,
Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope you all enjoyed rest and relaxation with family and friends. Now that we are back in school and state testing is approaching, we hope you will recommit to having your child in school, on time every day. We have a lot of work to do this trimester and no amount of substitute work can replace direct instruction and collaboration among peers. Please save those trips and appointments for summer break so that your child receives all the important instruction our teachers have planned. Thank you.
Also, next Tuesday's PTA meeting will include a presentation from our Kindergarten Team on Guided Reading and we will have babysitting available.

From the Office
Welcome back - we hope you all enjoyed some fun over the Spring Break!
A few reminders to help keep our little ones safe as we get back into the swing of things:
- Please refrain from cell phone use, or any driving distractions, while maneuvering the school parking lot
- Please adhere to California state law on child car restraints and seatbelts
- Please be respectful of our Vanderslice neighbors by not blocking adjacent driveways and streets during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope you all had a safe and restful week off. Our next PTA meeting is on Tuesday, April 18th at 7:00pm in our Library. This is a meeting you will not want to miss as we ware voting on the slate of officers for next year, and we will also receive an update on how much we raised for our school at the auction. So get the date on your calendar!!
April is a busy month for WCEF as well. They are working hard to fundraise for our district, so that they can support so many of our programs and plan for next year. There are a few opportunities this month, Mooyah on April 19th from noon to 9pm, Taste & Toast for Education is scheduled for May 10th as well. I encourage you all to get out there and support WCEF.
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
