Week Three (Fall Semester)
I'm so proud of our students for starting the year strong! One of the most important ways you can be successful at school is by showing up and you have been doing that! In fact, we are at a 98% attendance rate for the Month of August, which is 4% higher than last year.
Padres! I am also thankful for the over 30 parents who came to our first parent advisory meeting on Saturday! Our school is fortunate to have strong parent involvement and your feedback is instrumental to our success. Congratulations to the parents who joined ELAC and SSC, I'm so grateful for your partnership.
This Friday is California Admissions Day and a School Holiday. Monday is Labor Day and also a School Holiday. Enjoy your 4 day weekend!
Please see below for news, announcements and awesome opportunities!
Sincerely,
