Dearest Daves Avenue Families,
During times of uncertainty, I want to thank you for doing your best to maintain normalcy as best as possible for our students. Children thrive in regular environments and routines, and I can confidently say that the Daves Avenue students and staff are rising to the occasion to be mindful of overall health and hygiene protocols. With the support of our District Nurse, all students have been trained on proper hand-washing protocols. As information from the Santa Clara County Health Department continues to evolve, my message(s) to you revolving COVID-19 will compliment District messaging and contain additional information pertinent to Daves Avenue. Please note that I will be reviewing upcoming site events and study trips on a case-by-case basis and will be making a determination if trips are in alignment with county protocols or if they should be postponed. Your child’s teacher will be relaying grade level specific information to families as appropriate.
What are we doing to support students?
-Creating hands-free ways to greet students
-Promoting hand washing before and after recess with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
-Encouraging students to avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth
-Reminding students to sanitize their hands before eating
-Focus on social distancing when possible
What can you do to support your student(s)?
-Please reinforce the above listed bullets☺
-Remain centered and calm….students feed off of our energy
-Please refrain from sending your child to school if they are ill
-Please refrain from volunteering on campus if you or any family members are ill
Thank you for making health and wellness a priority for all.
Be well,
Principal, Daves Avenue Elementary School

Wine and Whiskey Donations Needed!
One of the fun ways we are raising money is with a wine and whiskey pull. We are asking each class to donate 3 bottles of wine OR whiskey. Each bottle should be of gift giving quality (have a minimum value of $30.) Please consider donating a bottle (or two) to help raise funds for the students. If you have a donation, please email
Lauren Roseman
to coordinate a pickup. Thank you!

The library never closes, and your librarian is on call!
I recently showed classes how to check out and read eBooks on an iPad. Public libraries are
always
open online, 24/7. Helpful if you can’t visit in person!
Downloadable eBooks and audiobooks are as close as the internet, from anywhere.
Libraries loan eBooks and audio books for free. All you need is a library card (also free). If you don’t have one, our amazing SCCLD will give you a free and instant eCard.
https://sccld.org/card-application/
. Once you fill out the info, it will give you a library card number. Create an ID that is easier to remember! Your ID and 4 digit PIN are a door to extra reading. Thank you SCCLD!!
My favorite reading app is
Libby
, but there are many apps.
Please
email
if you need help.
Last, as your librarian I choose to be "on call" for book ideas.
Even if it’s early or late, when I am often… reading!
If you want book ideas, please ask via
email
.
