Reynolds' Report
Hello Roadrunner Families!
It is Starstruck season here at First Street School! Our kiddos are practicing weekly to dance their hearts out for you at our Starstruck Showcase on March 8th! Starstruck is one of my favorite activities because the teachers and staff get to join in the dancing, too! Ask your student to show you a sneak peek of their dance!
Do you know anyone whose child will be turning 5 between September 2nd, 2023 and May 31, 2024? Please let them know that their child qualifies to join our TK classes! If their student turns 5 before September 1st, 2023, they are ready for our kinder program! Please share the registration information below with them so we can get them registered!
Have a wonderful week, Roadrunners!

February 7th : Love and Logic Classes Begin
A five week no-cost workshop designed by the Love and Logic Institute to give parents practical skills that can be used immediately!
Learn how to:
• Avoid un-winnable power-struggles and arguments
• Stay calm when kids do incredibly upsetting things
• Set enforceable limits
• Avoid enabling and begin empowering
• Help kids learn from mistakes rather than repeating them
• And much more!
All classes are held on Tuesdays from 6:00pm - 7:45pm at Creekside Oaks Elementary.
Love & Logic is appropriate for all age levels.
Space is limited. Child care is not provided. Please do not bring children to the classes.

CHAMPS Updates
Box Tops for Education
For each Box Top submitted, First Street School gets back $0.10. While that isn't much on its own, the whole school community collecting them from Participating Products throughout the year can earn enough to pay for things like software memberships or supplies for class activities. There are 3 main ways to collect Box Tops for the school:
- Earn Box Tops for participating products by scanning receipts with the Box Tops app.
- When you shop online or use delivery services, you can earn Box Tops by forwarding your e-receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com. See further details about submitting e-receipts here.
- Traditional Box Tops coupons can still be found on some product packaging & are gladly accepted by the school. Collection continues all year.
- By the way, double-dipping IS allowed & encouraged here. If you have a physical Box Tops coupon on a product, clip the coupon from the packaging & send it to school AND scan the receipt for that product with the Box Tops App & get double credit for the school.

Affordable Connectivity Program
Internet connectivity is an important part of academic success in education today. Luckily, there are a lot of different options to ensure that your student has access to internet at home. If you do not have internet at home, you may qualify for discounts on internet and computers through the federal Affordable Connectivity Program.
Find out if you qualify by following the instructions at the link here: https://getmyinternet.org/?j=9063912&sfmc_sub=198464893&l=2048712_HTML&u=202253676&mid=6409703&jb=17020&utm_source=edu_acp_2022.09.12&utm_medium=email
Updated COVID Protocols
Student Quarantine:
Effective this year, California Department of Public Health has replaced most of the requirements about student quarantine with recommendations. The one remaining requirement is that students who are ill must be fever-free for at least 24 hours without the aide of fever-reducing medications before they are able to return to school. Please see the documents below for more detailed information.
