I hope everyone is surviving the Southern California Cold! Our students did a GREAT job with our active lockdown drill and while we always learn something in these drills, we locked down very quickly and are really proud of our students and how seriously they took this drill.

We are also happy to report our repair is complete and the C building classes that were relocated on Friday, will be back to their regular classrooms on Monday. We thank our staff and students for the flexibility!

In this issue learn more about:

• 8th Grade end of year trip
• 7th Grade Medieval Times payment/permission slip deadline
• PTSA E-Board Nominations
• Career Pathways for 8th graders headed to high school
• Easy to understand Drugs Fact Sheet from the DEA
• Castaic High School Information Meeting and Flyers
• Rio Robotics is still fundraising

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Bennett
