Hello Weaver Families,
I hope that this extended Memorial Day Weekend has helped our community members to settle into the final two weeks of school! We have an action packed week ahead of us, all starting with the special flag ceremony to honor the Griffin Class of 2019! Each of the Weaver Alumni from this year's class will join us to celebrate their great accomplishment!
At Weaver, we will also be celebrating Teacher of the Day on Tuesday, May 28th! The Teachers of the Day have some fun things in store for the community, all starting with a warm Weaver welcome to our returning graduates. I can't wait to see you there!
The majority of state testing has concluded! We're in the final stretch as our scholars and teachers finalize the remaining testing sessions. I am so proud of the Weaver students that have truly applied a year's worth of hard work and learning to this year's SBAC assessment. I know that you gave it your all!
Lastly, we're wrapping up the week with our annual Summer Jam! Come join us on Friday, May 31st starting at 5:00 PM on the Bostonian field. You and your family can enjoy live entertainment, dancing, face painting, and great company as we gather to celebrate another memorable year. Bring a blanket and some chairs and soak in the sunset with your Weaver family! I can't wait to see you there!
Love to all,
Rick Larson
Interim Principal

PTA is in need of CARNIVAL co-chairs!
We have several parents who are willing to take parts of the function with Carnival, but would like someone who can oversee the whole Carnival. It's a great event for the entire family and the PTA will support you and get you trained. If no-one is willing to lead the Carnival, we will unfortunately not be able to have one at the next school year.
Please consider chairing this wonderful event! Contact Vicky at vickyptavu@gmail.com.

Safety is a Top Priority at Weaver!
Student safety is a top priority for all of here at Weaver Elementary School. Please join me in making Weaver safe by following these safety precautions.
- Parking is not permitted along the yellow curb in the roundabout. Busses drop students off at Weaver throughout the day, and parked cars do not allow those busses to get kids home on time.
- Turning left into the roundabout is not permitted between the hours of 7:45 AM – 8:15 AM and 2:25 PM – 2:55 PM. Turning left on Wembley creates a traffic hazard, causing other drivers to approach oncoming traffic to head northbound. Instead of turning left, parents are encouraged to head northbound on Wembley and wait in the drop off line.
- Pick up or drop off is not permitted in the Kids Korner parking lot. This lot is for staff only. Please use the roundabout for pick up and drop off purposes.
- Pick up or drop off is not permitted in the Piedmont Staff Lot. This lot is for staff only. Please use the roundabout for pick up and drop off purposes.

A Special Community Message from Girl Scout Troop 3262
The Girl Scouts from Troop 3262 recognized a common problem in their community, namely among girls of similar age (5th graders), and that is having stress (from school, family, puberty, etc). To make a difference, Troop 3262 made 3 helpful, instructional videos on how to manage stress in a healthy way.
The videos were distributed to other Girl Scout troops through the Los Alamitos Service Unit Leader Meeting. The troop also shared their videos and a list of additional resources for how to deal with stress at their school at Weaver's flag ceremony on May 10th. Troop 3262 hopes to share awareness about inevitable stress in life and to empower girls in their local community to deal with stress in healthy, supportive ways.
We would like to congratulate each of the 12 girl scouts from Troop 3262 for earning their esteemed Bronze Award for their community service!
