Week in Review
The third trimester kicked off with plenty of sunshine and good times on campus. Our School Site Council approved the purchase of the Open Court Foundational Skills Kits for UTK-3rd grade. This program is currently being piloted by the team, and they love it! Now it'll be part of the literacy programming at Fletcher for years to come. We also completed the purchase of our school spirit t-shirts. If all goes as planned, each student and staff member will have theirs before Spring Break!
Our students taking the Summative ELPAC exam this week have been working hard and performing exceptionally. There is the potential for over 1/3 of our multilingual learners to reclassify as English proficient! This is a BIG deal. We are sooo proud of them for all their resilience and effort.

Summer Programming Enrollment Now OPEN
San Diego Unified School District is excited to announce a variety of summer learning opportunities so you can create the best summer experience.The window to enroll in the Summer Academic Program, Extended School Year (ESY), and PrimeTime Summer is now open. Participation in summer programs is not required, however we encourage families to take advantage of these fun and educational summer enrichment opportunities available only to current San Diego Unified students. The summer learning opportunities are no cost to San Diego Unified families.
Families can choose from the following program options:
The elementary, middle, and high school summer experience will support the academic and social-emotional needs of our students. The Summer Academic Program is open to ALL currently enrolled students including students receiving special education services. Classes are taught by San Diego Unified educators at designated schools. Education specialists will be assigned to sites to help support staff in meeting the needs of all learners. The Summer Academic Program goes from June 20 through July 21, 2023.
The enrollment window for the Summer Academic Program is February 6 through April 14, 2023. Summer academic enrollment takes place at the students' current school of attendance. Every student who enrolls is guaranteed a space in the Summer Academic Program.
Students participating in the ESY/Summer Academic Program can also participate in PrimeTime Summer or Level Up enrichment programs to create the best summer experience. Please note students must be enrolled in the ESY/Summer Academic Program in order to be eligible for PrimeTime Summer.
ESY services will be provided at all open schools to students who have ESY services as part of their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Specialized ESY programs will be provided at pre-identified schools. Enrollment is coordinated with the studentโs current case manager. There is no enrollment deadline for ESY.
In addition to rewarding learning experiences from our educators, we are also partnering with the San Diego Foundation and dozens of local nonprofits to provide students with afternoon enrichment opportunities and week-long camps at no cost to San Diego Unified families throughout the city. Summer Level Up enrichment programs for all district students grades UTK-12 will be offered by our Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA), Office of College, Career and Technical Education (CCTE), and community partners throughout June, July, and August 2023. Level Up enrichment opportunities will include sports camps, STEAM- and arts-based experiences, leadership institutes, internships, and accelerated learning opportunities. Enrollment and more information about these programs will be made available to families in the Spring.

Student of the Week
Our Student of the Week is CC in Mrs. Quaal's 3rd Grade Class. She is such a kind, caring student, who is a friend to everyone, and always has such a positive attitude. We love how creative she is and seeing what she comes up with is a treat. CC has definitely taken on growth mindset and we enjoy hearing the way she talks herself through any task she is faced with. She is such a model student, always willing to take on a challenge and respectful to her peers and adults alike. We are so grateful for all that CC brings to our classroom. Way to go, CC!
