Dear Families,

Thank you for helping us celebrate our teachers and staff this week on campus. Superintendent Johnson, District Leadership, and Site Administrators honored all Certificated Staff as Distinguished Educators yesterday in an Employee Celebration for their commitment to excellence for all children in Los Gatos Union School District. Additionally, all Classified Staff members were celebrated as they collectively helped to lay the foundation for a successful reopening of school.

As we are in the final stretch of the school year, please remember that attendance matters! If your child is a Roomer (in-person), the expectation is that he/she attends in person. Requests for a Roomer to participate in remote learning requires Principal approval. Accommodations will only be made for students in quarantine and/or for those exhibiting Covid Symptoms. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support.

Wishing you a PAWsitively Happy Cinco de Mayo!


In education together,

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
The Cool Cat Teachers and Staff at Dave's Elementary have been doing an incredible job navigating this school year! The Home + School Club wanted to show their love and appreciation to all their hard work and dedication. We are providing breakfast and lunches throughout the week to fuel the Staff and keep them going. Yesterday, Monday May 3rd, was Day 1 and we kicked off the celebration week with a Breakfast spread provided by Posh Bagel. The Staff got to partake in a gourmet bagel spread with smears, hot coffee, fruit cups and juice! If you haven't seen the awesome lawn sign, do a campus drive by and don't forget to celebrate any and all of the Staff and Teachers that have helped navigate your students and parents throughout the school year so far. Stay tuned for the rest of the week's festivities!
