Principal Message
Dear Fammatre Families,
This Friday, March 6 we will be having the three large, dead trees removed from the back playground. The area will be fenced off to keep all students at a safe distance. Because we are not sure exactly what time the work will begin, the morning assembly this Friday is canceled. Please have your children go to class as they normally do on Monday thru Thursday.
On another note, I want to ensure everyone is kept informed of the most current information regarding the Novel Coronavirus (now known as COVID-19). Here is the link https://www.cambriansd.org/Page/3515 to the Cambrian School District webpage with the most current information for families. As mentioned in the last update on March 3rd, we are taking extra steps at Fammatre and all schools to wipe down common surfaces, provide additional hand washing time for students, and reinforcing hygiene practices that minimize the spread of germs.
A quick reminder that in order to plan for next year, we need each family to fill out this 2020-21 enrollment check form: https://forms.gle/ZNyq8rExsxdtgMKc9 letting us know if your child or children will be returning to Fammatre. Please take a moment to complete it. Additionally, we are still looking for input on our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Survey. Here is the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/mrrkFzqhwtfUFi2k9 if you have not yet completed it.
Have a wonderful rest of the week! I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at our Famma “Tree” Growing day this Saturday, March 7th, from 8:45-noon. Here is the link http://tiny.cc/ddzkjz to the volunteer sign-up form. Feel free to join for part or all of the morning.
Warmly,
Jackie Smith
Principal
