SPRING FORWARD – SUNDAY, MARCH 8 
Don't forget to set your clocks one hour ahead this Saturday night before bed for Daylight Saving Time. We'll see your (slightly sleepier) students bright and early Monday morning at 7:45 am!

READERS ARE LEADERS – ALL MARCH LONG! 
A huge thank-you to our amazing librarian, Mrs. Meyers, and all the families who made our Book Fair such a success! If you missed it, no worries, online shopping is still open through March 15th.

Our March Reading Challenge is in full swing! Students have reading logs to track their books, and the more they read, the bigger the prizes they'll earn. Let's see how many books our Dragons can devour this month!

GARDEN CLEAN-UP – MARCH 13 
Join us on Friday, March 13, from 2:00–4:00 pm for a school garden clean-up. We'll be raking leaves, moving soil and woodchips, pulling weeds, pruning plants, and planting seeds. It's a great way to give back and watch something grow. We'd love to have you there!

SMART SNACKS WELLNESS POLICY 
As a reminder, our school wellness policy requires that any snacks brought in for birthdays or classroom celebrations meet federal Smart Snacks standards. This keeps our meal program in good standing — and our students fueled to learn! Think fruit platters, veggie trays, or other wholesome alternatives to high-sugar treats. Thank you for partnering with us to make celebrations both fun and healthy! You can find our full wellness policy and resource guidelines here.

REMINDERS 

  • When to Keep Your Child Home – Please keep your child home if they have a fever over 100°F (unmedicated) or have been vomiting, and give the office a call to let us know.
  • Lost and Found – Our lost and found is overflowing with jackets, umbrellas, water bottles, and more. Please swing by to claim your child's missing items!
  • Spring Field Trip Chaperons – Want to join your child on their field trips? Pick up a volunteer application at the District Office, located at 4410 Konocti Rd, Kelseyville. Get your paperwork in early so you're ready to go when the trips roll around!

COUNSELOR’S CORNER – MARCH 
It’s hard to believe we’ve already celebrated our 100th Day of School! This milestone is a wonderful reminder of how much our students have grown academically, socially, and emotionally. With fewer than 80 days remaining, this is the perfect time to refocus, rebuild routines, and strengthen academic confidence at home.

As spring approaches, schedules can feel busy and exciting. Consistent routines help students feel focused. Help your student choose small, manageable goals for the rest of the school year:

  •  Read 15-20 minutes each night
  •  Practice math facts 3-4 times per week
  • Turn in assignments on time
  • Stay organized with homework folders and daily schedules

Healthy routines at home play an important role in academic confidence. Limiting screen time on school nights—especially before bed—helps improve attention, mood, and readiness to learn. Creating space for reading, conversation, or quiet play instead of extra screen time can positively impact school performance.

We are so thankful for our amazing students and families and truly appreciate the continued support we receive—let’s finish this year strong!
