Traffic Reminders and Pick-up/Drop-off Procedures
Our local police department has been citing people who are not following traffic laws. On the corner of Eastridge and Twelve Bridges Drive please pull along the curb if you are waiting in the driveline and do NOT block traffic that is trying to make the right hand turn off of Twelve Bridges onto Eastridge (keep the last 20 feet from the corner clear - see picture below).
Below that picture is a message from LPD that they released on Thursday regarding golf carts and NEVs.

Sight Word Busters Program
Dear Families,
You can truly make a difference in a child’s literacy skills by volunteering just one hour of your time per week. It is fun and meaningful work.
This year your child’s school will once again benefit from our Sight Word Busters Service. It is a nonprofit organization that uses trained volunteers to help TK-2nd grade students master sight words (high frequency words) and improve their reading skills. They have been working in Placer County schools for the past 12 years and have run a successful program at Twelve Bridges Elementary since 2016. We are currently recruiting volunteers for the 2023/24 school year.
No prior experience is needed. We provide all of the training and support needed to participate. We place volunteers in the classrooms of their choice and can place multiple volunteers in the same classroom. Grandparents also make excellent volunteers. If you're not a first grade parent/grandparent but would like to help with this amazing program, please sign up, we would love your help. We are planning to volunteer in person this year, yay! Volunteers will need fingerprints (LiveScan) and a current TB test to work in the classrooms with students.
Training will be provided to anybody interested in helping at Twelve Bridges Elementary (date and time TBD).
Additionally, we are still in need of a coordinator for the program. The main responsibilities of the Site Director:
· Collect the times and days of the week preferences from the teachers and place them on the Master Schedule.
· Communicate with all of the volunteers, once they are trained, to coordinate duty assignments.
· Assemble the Classroom Kits, with student books and clipboards
· Secure student lists from the teachers
· Write the names on the student books and the clipboards. This takes a long time.
· Deliver the kits to the classrooms
If it sounds interesting, please visit our website (www.SightWordBusters.org) and complete the Volunteer Application. If you have questions contact Lyra@sightwordbusters.org or phone 916.365.5577.
Thank you!
