Planning for the Gala 2021 |

2021 Virtual Gala Donations Needed
The 2021 Virtual Gala is around the corner and we are gathering donations for the auctions and gift baskets. If you would like to donate something or if you know of any individuals or businesses that would be willing to donate items please see the attached link with donation letter and form to be completed and emailed to ctcs.gala@gmail.com by February 1st.
We are asking parents to solicit at least one donation with a value of at least $25. For example, gift cards or experiences for things like surfing, swimming or music lessons, local art work, birthday party hosting, dinner parties, art parties, restaurants etc. Ideally, these items would be donated instead of purchased, but we are aware that many of the prior year's donors are businesses which have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. So, purchasing items to donate is perfectly acceptable as well.
Earn a volunteer hour for each donation solicited. This year's virtual gala will be 2 hours long and by attending you will receive 2 hours for each parent. To obtain additional volunteer hours, we really need your help securing donations. Copies of the donation letter and donation record form have bee placed in your children’s take home folder and can be printed by clicking the buttons below.

Drop off and Pick up Zones
|
Families, we know that the curb-side parking spots fill up at times, but we would rather your student be a minute late than have you J walk, double park or block the road and create the opportunity for an accident. Please do not get out of your car or let your child exit your car unless you are parked on the curb. Please take time and wait for a spot to open up. If you need to cross the street, please use the crosswalk especially on 4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue crossings.
THANK YOU!

COVID-19 Important Reminders |
|
City Tree Families,
As we return to school after Christmas break, our area is particularly impacted with COVID cases. Please be extremely vigilant so that we can keep our school community as safe as possible. Please take time to carefully read the reminders below.
Reminders:
- Contact the school office (619-232-3794) immediately if your is sick, your child is a close contact with anyone who is COVID positive, if your child is presumed to be COVID positive or does actually test as COVID positive.
- We are also requesting that if anyone in the home is sick, please keep all students home until it is determined the illness is not COVID by getting a negative COVID test result.
- At drop-off and pick-up times everyone should be wearing masks.
- At drop-off and pick-up times please maintain social distancing from staff, children, and other parents.
- Make sure your K-8 students come to school each day wearing a clean mask, that fits their face. comfortably, and stays over their nose. It is also very helpful if you remind your student that they are expected to wear their mask at school.
- Make sure your child brings a warm sweatshirt or jacket each day. We are outside more and we also open windows when we can to increase ventilation. Please clearly label these items with your child's first and last name.
- Bring a labeled water bottle each day.
- K-8 students should bring a beach towel or blanket to school. This helps with social distancing at the park, at lunch, and in other situations.
- Keep your students home if you notice they are not well. We will have to send them home if they come to school with cold/flu symptoms.
- We are asking that if you "traveled or gathered" over the holiday break, that you get tested before returning to school or if needed delay your return to school so that we don't inadvertently spread it once we all return.
- If you find out ANY member of your family has been around someone who has tested positive for COVID, please keep your student home until you receive your results back. This will help eliminate a potential close contact being in contact with others on our campus.*
*We want you to know that all protocols we are following are given to us by the County Health Department, but this specific request is our own. We are realizing that following this simple guideline, during the Regional Stay Home Order, will cut down on possible exposures in our classrooms!
Thank you for our cooperation. If you have questions please call (619-232-3794) or email Kelly Tompkins.
