PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Greetings Daves Avenue Families, 

Thank you for your patience as we worked through several days without wifi or phone service last week. We apologize for any delay in replying to emails or our inability to retrieve any voice messages. Our students and staff demonstrated resilience and flexibility. 

News this week: 

  • Music Concerts are in progress! Thank you for participating in the One Community Campaign which helps to fund our amazing music teachers and program in LGUSD. If you haven’t had an opportunity to participate in One Community Campaign yet, it’s not too late!
  • Parent volunteers during the instructional school day must have their LGUSD Volunteer Information Form on file. To maintain a consistent and safe environment for our students, staff, and community, every teacher may have a maximum of two parent volunteers per instructional day. Teachers will do their best to assure that approved volunteers are equally given an opportunity. Thank you for your understanding. 
  • Our shoe drive is still going strong! Please consider donating slightly used shoes before December 17.
  • Thank you to Mrs. Wendy Riggs and Safe Routes to School for providing our TK/Kindergarten students Pedestrian Training today. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful program in LGUSD!
Have a PAWSitively awesome rest of the week!
Kindly,
Jenna Mittleman, Principal
