SBAC Testing will continue for most of our 3rd - 5th Graders. Testing continues through May 26th.

Here are some important reminders to help your student prepare for testing:

• Be sure students are on time for school daily and NOT absent
• Get a good's night sleep
• Eat a healthy breakfast

We are excited to invite you to join us for Twelve Bridges Elementary's Picnic in the Park! This event is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your child, get to know other families in the community and enjoy an afternoon outdoors.

We encourage you to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and/or umbrellas to create a comfortable and shaded area for your family. Additionally, you may bring lunch for your student to enjoy during the picnic.

Guest/Attendees will not check-in at the office nor come on to campus. Simply let your student(s) know ahead of time that you will be meeting them in the park for lunch. Students will meet you in the park during their lunch period and return to recess/class when their lunch is over.

5th Grade parents, we are continuing the tradition of "Clapping out" the 5th graders on the last day of school. How this will work: Parents can create 2 lines (making a path down the middle for 5th graders to walk through) on the grassy area by the park outside the fence. There is no need to check into the office. If you can be all lined up by 1:25pm we will be dismissing 5th graders a few minutes early so they can begin their clap-out walk. The entire school will be lined up outside and clapping/cheering them on as they are dismissed for the final time as a 5th grader. 5th grade students will dismiss on to the field while all other student will dismiss out of the front and back gates like usual.

Thanks for helping us keep staff and students healthy!

Attendance Reminder
If you need to report your student's absence you need to contact our attendance clerk, Maritza, with the reason for their absence. There are several ways to do this that are the most efficient ways: email: Mpisik@wpusd.org with your student's name and reason for absence (if they are sick you need to let us know what their symptoms are and for how long they have had them), respond to the email attendance alert via Parent Square OR the TBE app, or you can call the attendance message line directly at 916-434-5210. We have a very busy front office so if you could report your absence one of the ways above it would greatly help free up the phone lines for those needing to call. It's always a good idea to send a quick email to the teachers as well so they are aware of the absence.
For those students who are out sick: if they are going to be absent more than 2-3 days due to illness, please let us know so we can have you sign an "Independent Study" so the teacher can give them their class work so they don't get behind while they are absent.

**DEADLINE TO SUBMIT A TRAVEL STUDY IS MAY 19TH!**

If your student is going to be out of town and absent for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 14 days, you will need to inform the front office of this absence no later than 1-2 weeks prior to leaving (the more time the better). Once the office has been informed, they will email you a travel study contract to electronically sign and will notify the teacher of the absence so they can get together all the work needed.

Teachers are very busy getting together needed work, so please be patient and give ample time before going on vacation.

*TRAVEL/INDEPENDENT STUDIES ARE NOT ALLOWED DURING THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OF SCHOOL OR LAST 2 WEEKS OF SCHOOL.
