September 26, 2025: Principal's Note

EARLY DISMISSAL WEDNESDAYS BEGIN OCT. 1 

Starting Wednesday, October 1st, students will be dismissed on Wednesdays at 1:00 pm. Teachers will be using these afternoons to collaborate on lesson plans that best support student success.

SAY CHEESE! PICTURE DAY – OCT. 1

Picture Day is Wednesday, October 1! Orders can be placed by returning the packet sent home with your student or online using #ID: EVTMQTF93. 

CUSTODIAN APPRECIATION DAY – OCT. 2

We want to give a big thank you to our amazing custodians who take such great care of our school. From keeping our classrooms tidy to making sure our campus is healthy and safe, they help create the best learning environment for our students every day.

BOOK BLAST – ENDS OCT. 3

Book Blast wraps up next week! Encourage your students to keep reading and earning prizes. Each dollar donated goes towards books for all students to help build their home libraries. Best of all, every student will take home at least one book for their personal collection. Let’s see how many books we can gather for our growing readers! Click here to get started. 

SCHOOL DROP OFF BEGINS AT 7:15 AM 

Please do not drop off your student before 7:15 am, as that is when supervision in the cafeteria begins. Students will be released to outdoor supervision after the first bell at 7:25 am. Thank you for helping us keep students safe!

COUNSELOR’S CORNER 

Many of our students use cell phones outside of school, and we want to remind families of the importance of healthy cell phone habits.

Here are some tips to help your student use technology safely and responsibly while navigating the online world:

• Utilize built-in parental controls to help manage screen time, filter inappropriate content, and monitor internet usage.
•  Discuss internet safety with your child and STAY INVOLVED.
• Blue light from phone screens can interfere with sleep. Establish a “no-phone” rule an hour before bedtime.
• Too much cell phone usage has been linked to increased anxiety in young people; limiting phone usage could help reduce stress, improve focus, and support overall emotional well-being.
• Lastly, remind students to never share their personal information online with anyone.

UPCOMING EVENTS 

We have some exciting events on the horizon. Stay tuned for more details soon!

• School Site Council (SSC) & ELAC Meeting – Oct. 15 at  2:30 pm in Room B4
• Parent-Teacher Conferences – Oct. 21-24 

REMINDER: OUT SICK? LET US KNOW! 

With all the seasonal bugs going around, we know students may need to stay home and rest. If your child is out sick, please be sure to call the office at (707) 277-6050 and let us know.
