PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Greetings Families!

September is FLYING by! 41% of the families in the Daves Avenue Community have participated in the One Community Campaign. Please consider supporting onecommunitylg.org in a meaningful way at a level that is right for your family. There are even options where a contribution can be divided into monthly donations. Our goal is to reach 100% participation!

Parent Volunteers

Thank you to all parents who helped at the 4th & 5th Grade Bike Rodeo yesterday! It was a HUGE hit! If you would like to be on the Daves Avenue volunteer list for the 2021-22 school year, please complete this form and return it to the front office. This will allow you to participate in activities on and off campus during the instructional day. Also, please note that we are piloting a volunteer management system when parents volunteer on campus. This means that any adult on campus needs to have their driver’s license when checking into campus. Thank you for helping us to ensure a safe environment for all students!

Borrow a Chromebook and Wi-Fi Hotspots

Do you have a student who needs access to a Chromebook or W-Fi at home? LGUSD has a limited number of Chromebooks and Wi-Fi hotspots available to loan for students who would otherwise lack connected devices and/or broadband connections sufficient to fully engage in learning at home. We want to ensure access is available, especially if a student needs to quarantine at home. If you would like to request a Chromebook or Wi-Fi hotspot, please click here to complete this Daves Avenue Loaner Request Form.

Have a PAWSitively awesome week!

Kind regards,

Jenna Mittleman, Principal

MAKE A DIFFERENCE - CONTRIBUTE TODAY!

Did you know that One Community LG, through the LGEF, funds our elementary library teachers, including Daves Avenues’ Shannon Hawkes? Mrs. Hawkes provides individualized reading suggestions to students and is also a great storyteller. Every classroom attends library once a week to listen to a story. Librarians inspire and encourage our student’s interest in children’s literature, nourishing a life-long love of reading. Our school libraries touch every child and are an essential part of the educational experience. Ask your child to tell you about the story Mrs. Hawkes read to them this week. To find out more about what your contributions to One Community LG will benefit, please visit onecommunitylg.org.

Mrs. Hawkes reads a story to enthralled students.

FOOD SERVICE UPDATE

Thank you for your support of the universal meal program. This program is provided free of charge to all students through Federal grants and does not require any signup. Since the beginning of the school year we have begun serving over 1800 meals per day. This is a new program for our staff and we have had some challenges securing supplies and meeting the published menus. We have been improving each week and expect, with your patience and participation, to move toward more scratch cooked meals with fresh ingredients.

The menu is updated each week and the link is Menu Link.

If you have questions, please contact Terese McNames at tmcnamee@lgusd.org
