La Costa Meadows Elementary School
Weekly Dolphin Blast
Week of April 30, 2023
I hope that your family has enjoyed your weekend!
As we get ready to launch into May and end of year assessments, it is important that students remember to bring their Chromebooks to school each day fully charged. Additionally, parents/guardians please remind your child of the importance of treating their chromebook with care. We've had an influx in the number of chromebooks being exchanged due to damage caused by students not treating their device with care and respect. Thank you in advance for discussing this with your student.
Our Lost and Found rack is overflowing! Please have your child check the rack for missing coats and water bottles. The rack will be placed out front on Friday for parents to check before and after school. Please note that all items left at the end of the day on Friday, May 19th will be donated to charity!
This Friday, May 5th will be our Annual Spelling Bee. Best of luck to all of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students who will be competing in the competition! Thank you, Mrs. Smith, for all of your hard work to get this event up and running! Parents and adult family members of participants are invited to come and support their student. The schedule for the Spelling Bee will be as follows:
9:00 - 10:00 AM: Fourth Grade
10:40 AM - 11:40 AM: Third Grade
1:15 PM - 2:15 PM: Fifth Grade
With Dolphin pride,
Mrs. Bedard
CAASPP Testing for 3rd - 5th
Students in grades 3-5 will be taking the state assessment beginning the week of May 15th. It is imperative that students bring their chromebooks to school fully charged each day this week as they will be using them to complete the assessment. Additionally, students should bring wired earbuds or headphones for the assessment. To help your student prepare, please make sure that he/she gets a good night of sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and is on time to school. For more information, please refer to the communication Mrs. Barnhill sent out last week.
