Hello First Branch!

Hello First Branch,

As you plan for the week ahead, please note that there is no Budget Info Night as the First Branch Unified District Board voted on Monday, Feb 19th, to postpone the school budget vote. 

Over break, our principal, admin assistant, and custodian teams have been busy! Over the next few days, the building will have limited staff due to professional development training and vacation days. We wish everyone a restful weekend ahead.

On March 11th, we will host a First Branch Class Trip Fundraising Meeting to get classes back on track for trip and travel opportunities beyond what the school can provide year to year. In the past, classes raised money to go on an 8th-grade trip to Washington D.C, NYC, Boston, etc. This is designed for parents/guardians of students in grades 5-8th grade.

Please note we will have a Windsor Police Officer present at CPS for pick-up for part of the week next week to guide and support pick-up recommendations. It is critical that drivers do not pass the bus with the lights and stop signs out. A video camera captures drivers and license plates when this happens. We are doing our best to move pick-up along. We also ask when a student's ride is here, they go to the car immediately. Thank you for your assistance and support.

In closing, kindly ask anyone with concerns to speak directly to Mr. Rivers, Ms. Wendy, or Mrs. Cash. Working together is how we are able to solve problems.

Be Well,

Janet Cash

Principal, First Branch Unified District
