Celebrating 5th Graders
Updated June 9, 2020
Dear Families of 5th Graders,
After today, we only have two remaining days of school! Time has flown by! I will really miss having each of our 5th graders at Terra Linda! Thank you for joining us at our celebration assembly last Thursday. If you weren't able to attend, it is posted on Seesaw under the Specials class.
I hope you are able to join us on Thursday evening for the parade through our parking lot. Be sure to read through the details below so you are prepared for the event. If anything is preventing you from attending, please let your 5th grade teacher know so we can come up with a plan. If you prefer not to attend, you are welcome to come to Terra Linda on Monday, June 15 from 9-11 or Wednesday, June 17 from 10-12 to pick up the items we are distributing during the parade.
Thank you for supporting your 5th grader this year and encouraging them to keep learning during our time of Distance Learning. Thank you for joining us throughout the year for community events, for volunteering throughout our school, and for supporting our efforts to build a strong school community. And finally, congratulations to those families who are ending their time at Terra Linda. We will miss you!
With Appreciation,
Christy

UPDATED PLANS
General Expectations for the Event
- Families must attend the parade in a vehicle. Unfortunately, families cannot walk through the parade. Please contact your 5th grade teacher if we need to make special arrangements.
- Please leave a car length of space between each vehicle
- All staff, students, and families are encouraged to wear a mask
- Maintain a social distance of 6 feet at all times
- If you are sick or have a family member sick with symptoms resembling the flu or coronavirus, please stay home.
- Vulnerable people, such as those with underlying conditions and older adults, should stay home.
Arrival
When you arrive at Terra Linda, staff will greet you as you near the building. We will collect any Library Books and/or books borrowed from classroom teachers. You can also turn in your Chromebook & charger if you are moving to a different district or don't want to keep the device over the summer.
Teacher Goodbye
Staff will then direct each vehicle into the bus lane to where your 5th grade teacher is located. You can say goodbye to your teacher. Your teacher will also give you the following items:
- Certificates
- Gift from your teacher
- Gift from the PTC-Sponsored 5th Grade Party Committee
- Yearbook
You can then choose to turn left near the fire gate and exit the Terra Linda parking lot, or you can choose to turn right and drive through our front parking lot near the main entrance. This is where you be able to take a picture in front of the Terra Linda sign.
Photographs in front of the Terra Linda Sign
To take a picture, please follow these steps:
- Follow staff directions on site.
- Remain in your vehicle until it is your turn to take a picture.
- Each family is responsible for taking their own picture.
- Staff will not be available to be in any pictures.
- Only one family will be allowed out of their vehicle at a time.
- After each picture is taken and the family has returned to their vehicle, we will invite the next family to pull forward and exit their vehicle to take a picture.
Please know that the Terra Linda sign will be uncovered from the evening of Thursday, June 11 through Sunday, June 14. Beginning June 15, the construction sign will be placed over the Terra Linda sign again.
