Dear Families,
It’s a PAWSitively great day to be a Cool Cat! Thank you to the Los Gatos Art Docents for their support and partnership. All students participated today in a virtual visit with Guest Artist, Ms. Jenni Ward, who specializes in ceramic sculpture. Her exploration of the natural world and integration of biological forms is fascinating! Please ask your child(ren) to share with you this evening what they learned about today.

Team LGUSD would like to remind you of the Student Internet Use Contract that is agreed to by families each school year. It is very important that students follow these guidelines when utilizing Internet resources to help keep students safe and focused on school activities. Please review the Student Internet Use Contract to help build clarity about the expected student behaviors while on the Internet. Together, we can help our students make good decisions and build an understanding of digital citizenship.
In education together,

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK |
|
Teacher and Staff Appreciation week is described by the National Education Association (NEA) as “a week for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our lives.” I’m sure we can all remember a teacher from our younger years that seemed to have a long-lasting impact in our lives.
This year may have been one of the more challenging years with all the obstacles that COVID-19 threw our way, but our staff at Daves have all gone above and beyond with adapting to the constantly changing County protocols to best serve the students and parents of our community. From 100% distance-learning, to hybrid Zoomers and Roomers, to 3 days of in-person instruction and now, 5 days of in-person instruction while maintaining online Zoomer instruction, these teachers have been doing an incredible job. Our staff has been an amazing support team to help make all these transitions possible.
To celebrate our Staff and Teachers at Daves, the Home & School Club will be providing catered food throughout the week while also supporting local Los Gatos businesses. All in an effort to show the Staff how much we appreciate all their efforts. We will kick off the festivities come Monday morning with a Welcome Breakfast. See y’all there!
