PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Cool Cat Families, 

Thank you to all students, families and staff who participated in our Daves Avenue Beautification and Bake Sale last Friday. This school community service project led by our Student Council and teacher leaders, Mrs. Brown & Mr. Ochoa was a HUGE success! Thank you to all families for loaning, donating, and/or volunteering to make this possible. We are looking forward to our next beautification day!
As we approach the end of this school year, we are busy planning for our return in August 2021! Last week, Superintendent Johnson sent a video message regarding Team LGUSD’s planning for the 2021-2022 school year. Here are the main takeaways:
As a friendly reminder, the school gates open at 8:15 A.M. and there is no supervision prior to this time. Additionally, please adhere to safety procedures during drop-off and pick-up. Have your child(ren) enter/exit your car on the proper side, refrain from having your child enter/exit your car from the street, and remember to drive slowly. All Cool Cats are precious cargo and we need your help!

We have lots to celebrate as we reflect on the year and plan for a future full of endless possibilities. Have a PAWSitively wonderful rest of the week!

In education together,
Jenna Mittleman, Principal

Los Gatos Union School District Parcel Tax That Funds 23 Teachers Is Set To Expire
There are many ways California schools receive funding but only two are under local control: donations and parcel taxes.
For over 30 years, Los Gatos has renewed Measure B, our district’s local parcel tax. While the “purchasing power” has declined over time (due to inflation) the measure still funds 23 teachers.
Measure B is set to expire next year.
The LGUSD Board of Trustees is investigating renewing and increasing Measure B on the November 2021 ballot. To learn more about this process, visit www.lgusd.org/renewalmeasure.
