At our Back To School Night event, your teachers went over the importance of being at school everyday, on time. Starting as early as TK, poor attendance can affect academics. When students are at school on time, not only are they building good habits for their future, but it also allows for socialization with friends and in some cases, a chance to eat breakfast. I've attached an article below, in English and in Spanish, about ways to support good attendance habits. Thank you for working to help all students succeed.

Living Classroom is taking root at Lynhaven School, providing 7 lessons to TK-3 students in September and October, with many more to come! The hands-on, inquiry based science, math, nutrition and social studies lessons take place in school gardens which provide a living laboratory where lessons are drawn from real-life experiences. All TK-3 teachers are participating. Lesson topics this fall include:
- human impact on their environment
- recording measurements of plants
- understand the relationship between numbers and quantities
- adaptations of plants and/or animals for survival
- photosynthesis
- producers and consumers
- functions of parts of plants
- decomposition and how nature recycles
- using the scientific method in a real live experiment to test a hypothesis
- habitats
- making bar graphs to represent data
- nutrition and healthy eating—fruits, vegetables and whole grains
The Program is seeking interested volunteers to be trained as docents or assistant docents or work with our garden manager to maintain the educational gardens. Docent training sessions start on Monday, September 10th from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. and September 17th from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. at Capri Elementary School, Room C-6. There will be an informational meeting on 8/30 from 9:00-10:00 in the Lynhaven Cafeteria.
For more information about the Living Classroom and to learn more about volunteering, contact the Living Classroom Campbell Program Manager Stefani Brandt at shawns [at] living-classroom.org or call 408-500-9911 and visit the website at www.living-classroom.org.

We look forward to having you attend our Back to School Night on Thursday, September 6, 2018. This year we are making a change in the scheduling of the night. Previously, families could choose which 30-minute session to attend and the teacher's provided the same information twice. We began the evening in the Cafeteria with a welcome from the admistrators, Community Liaison, and our PTA board members.
This year, you will go directly to your child's classroom for the presentation. You will watch a quick video introduction from those same groups. We will not meet in the cafeteria at all.
The schedule will go as follows:
If you are a parent/guardian of a student in TK-2nd grade, your time is 6:00-6:40.
If you are a parent/guardian of a student in 3rd-5th grades, your time is 6:45-7:30.
The teachers will only do one session so you will have to attend the session of preference.
This change will allow more time in the classroom to hear the important information from the teachers.

Today, Thursday, August 23rd, our white communciation folders will be coming home. This is a folder that we ask parents/guardians to check weekly, empty out, and return to school the next day. This is how information gets home in a hard copy. These envelopes will include classroom specific information, work samples, field trip and celebratory information as well as classroom newsletters too. The cost to replace them is $.50 as they are extremely helpful in getting information home.
If you'd like to go paperless for flyers and general information, the best thing to do is sign up for our E-news. Scroll down to the bottom of the website home page, and click on "subscribe to e-news on the right", and enter your email address. This website will be in your email by 7:00 am. every Thursday morning.
