Here's What's on Top at Buena Vista - January 4, 2023
Note from the Principal
Greetings Buena Vista Parents,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a restful and peaceful break. I enjoyed a quiet winter break connecting with family and friends. It seemed long and short at the same time, but I am glad to be back with the students and staff. We have jumped right back into learning here at Buena Vista and we have managed to find time outside for play during this unpredictable weather. Please be sure to send your children in layers to keep them warm and dry.
With the weather continuing to be stormy over the next 10 days, I encourage everyone to take their time during pick up and drop off to allow for bad weather and a bit more traffic. We will allow grace around tardies on these extreme weather days, but please be safe on the roadways.
***Still looking for Lunch Yard Duty Supervision --Needed starting January!***
One of our fabulous lunch supervisors is moved over winter break. We need additional coverage starting immediately. If you are available Monday-Friday from 11:15- 12:45 and want to make a little extra money, please reach out to me at agramlick@walnutcreeksd.org. or you can find the application on line at this link. We could also just use volunteers for now, if you are available on certain days and or times.
Respectfully,
Angela Gramlick
Principal
