Mission Elementary
Riding the Wave of Excellence!
Nov 6, 2022
We had another great week at Mission! Our PTO discussed plans for fundraisers and family fun. We had a Family Restaurant Night at Pit Stop and saw several of you enjoy family time. We look forward to the next family fun opportunity, one which is in the works is a Winter Festival. Please be sure to visit our PTO news section of this letter to get more information.
Mr. Espinoza and I visited classrooms this week and joined in the learning. One of our first grade classrooms presented a lesson from our new Social Studies curriculum, TCI. First grade students learned cooperation and communication build community and these skills help everyone!
Fourth grade students celebrated their research skills by presenting to one another what they learned about California's regions.
Students in Ms. Jimenez's class learned about the letter K. Great news! Our State Preschool will be featured in the Osider, The Osider Magazine is a free magazine that is available everywhere in Oceanside. Be on the lookout for the next issue!
In honor of Veteran's Day this Friday, November 11, we thank every member of our military as well as their families for their brave sacrifice of keeping our country safe!
Important Reminders:
- Attendance and being on time are very important! Classrooms start with a morning meeting, a social-emotional learning opportunity for building community and starting the day in a great way. Please ensure students arrive at school on time so they don't miss out!
- Daylight Saving Time ended today. Remember to set your clocks back one hour

Supporting Families in Addressing Mental Health Challenges for Students with IEPs
YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED
Emergency Snack Bag
Based on our recent lockdown experience on October 14, we are taking proactive measures. We are asking that all parents/caregivers provide a small water bottle or juice and an unopened healthy snack in case of an emergency and we are not able to go to recess or lunch on time. You may also add a family photo and/or a note of encouragement for your scholar. These snacks will be kept in a sealed container in the classroom. Please do not put in any opened snacks as this will attract critters. Place the items in a quart-size baggy only. Thank you for helping make your scholar comfortable in case of an emergency.
Please know that our district has a meal distribution plan. In case of an emergency, the snack bag we are asking for will be sufficient until we are able to safely distribute meals to students.
How do we use our Bookfair funds?
