Principal's Message
On Friday, report cards will be sent home. Please look for it, along with the most current AR and ST Math reports. Please remember to sign the envelope and return it to school. Please remember that these first trimester grades give you a chance to see how your child is progressing at meeting grade level standards and expectations.
This week, our packing will intensify as we gear up to start our move out of the brown portables  and into our redone classrooms. Teachers whose classrooms are in the brown portables will need help next week moving and unpacking. Please look for their shout outs for assistance! Here are some other keys tips to remember:
- We will have many teacher substitutes on campus next week as well as the week of January 7 to help monitor students as teachers move and unpack.
- Our teachers in grades K-4 and all SAI classes will be talking to students about new line up locations. Beginning January 7, all of these students will line up at drop off and recess time in a NEW place.
- During the week of January 7, all classes in grades K-1 and SAI will be residing in the brown portables! Look for the exact room number from your teacher!
- Beginning January 7, our kindergarten students will have a new lunch time - 11:45 am to 12:30 pm AND will be eating in the main lunch area - not the K yard.
- Beginning January 7, our kindergarten students will have recess on the big playground and their recess will include other grades. We will be giving these students some time on the big playground prior to winter break to learn more about the rules and expectations.
- All of our teachers do know their new room location and will share that with you. Please know that as our teachers move to a new location, the phone number extension will change to coordinate with their room number.
- Demolition in the next phase of construction will start over the last week of winter break. When we return on January 7, our kindy yard will be OFF limits to ALL!
As the renovated classrooms take shape, our excitement grows. We have no doubt that our students will be eager and excited to be learning in their new space. We thank you ahead of time for your support as we relocate 22 teachers and about 470 students!
We appreciate your help and support as we face the challenges of this transition, embrace the wonders of the new rooms and look forward to having our campus completed first!!

Monthly Attendance
Our goal is 98% 
For month 3, our school wide attendance rate was only 96.77%, below our goal! In reviewing the data across the district, we ranked 4th in our district, with Moffett earning the top spot. Our attendance rate dropped from last year's rate as well!
Thank you to all for helping us reach our goal each month by ensuring that your child is in school and vacations/special events are scheduled during breaks and other non-school days.
