We encourage our families to stay aware of the expectations for student safety and success at our school. It is important to read through our handbook with your students as there have been updates to our handbook. Some of them are listed below:

-all bicycles and skateboards must be walked on campus by adults and children. Bicycles will be locked to the bike rack and skateboards will be kept in classrooms or the office during the school day. 

-there is no playing on the play structures in the Kindergarten yard or on the big playground before or after school. Any students not enrolled in our after school programs must leave campus at dismissal. 

Thank you for supporting our expectations for student academic success and social development.

Mrs. Schonig's 5th grade class for 2018-19 promoted onto middle school in June, but before they left, they had the opportunity to practice coding with Google Engineers. They were featured in an article on the Google website promoting their partnership with our school! Please take a look! We plan on continuing to foster this relationship and plan more hands-on opportunities for our students in the growing engineering field.

The 8th annual College Day will be held on Friday, October 19th. It will be an amazing day of college focused fun and activity.

Show your school spirit and wear your favorite college logo gear! 
This is a day that we dedicate to providing our students with information about their future and how to achieve any goal they have. The band from Del Mar High School will be here to perform for the students again.

Wondering how to help your student get excited about college? It's never too early to start the conversation! Check out the attached 1-page handout that provides a list of questions that students can ask family members as a way to help guide thoughtful conversations about the educational journey and the students' college dreams.

Happy Fall! October brings about the celebration of a change in the weather, crunching leaves and of course, our Pumpkin Walk Fall Festival and our annual Halloween parade.

The parade will take place next Wednesday, October 31st, from 8:30-9:00 am on the eating area blacktop. Families are welcome to join us and as a reminder, your toddlers and siblings need to stay with you at all times. We will allow enough time after the parade for you to take pictures with your child and their class. 

Our school parade expectations are as follows: 

*masks cannot be worn in the parade, students can carry them if they like. 

*all students must change out of their costumes after the parade. If your child will need help, please stay to do so. 

*Costumes that include any type of blood or violent images, will not be allowed. If you are not sure of a costume's appropriateness, please ask your child's teacher.  

*Weapons of any type are not allowed

Our Pumpkin Walk Fall Festival will be on Saturday, October 20th from 12:00-3:00. We would love to see you all here enjoying great food from 2 food trucks, as well as other vendors, craft stations, a cake and pumpkin walk and music and dancing. The same expectations for the parade apply to the Pumpkin Walk. In addition, there will be costume contests for different grade levels and possibly one for adults. If you are considering dressing up in a costume, please consider the appropriatness of your costume and refrain from clowns as there are many children who are afraid of them. Finally, a reminder that  pets are not allowed on campus. 

Please sign up to volunteer! We need help to make it as fun for all of our kids as possible! Thank you for your support!

Our Profile of a Graduate work this month has focused on empathy. Empathy is defined as the action of understanding or being sensitive to the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of another person without those thoughts or feelings being directly stated. Our teachers have been working to ensure that our students understand and demonstrate empathy on a daily basis. Below are some pictures of classwork done around empathy! Talk to your child about what they'd done to become a more empathetic person!
