From Principal Dr. Celeste Barnette
Dear Diegueño Families -
Wasn’t this week gorgeous?! In addition to near perfect weather, we also celebrated the Great Kindness Challenge this week. Check out the photos of the fun dress-up days. Students also wrote kind notes to friends and staff members. Thank you to ASB and Ms. Von Borstel for always fostering a positive school climate.
What’s on your mind? What would you like to discuss, learn about, or celebrate at Wednesday’s Principal’s Coffee (AKA Bagels with Dr. Barnette)?
We need your cooperation with a safety issue. If your child rides their eBike to school and is leaving early, we must have a parent/guardian sign the student out in person. Unfortunately, we can’t allow a student to ride off campus during the school day, even with parental permission. We are legally responsible for your child until we do a direct hand off to you. Thank you for your help!
I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Celeste Barnette, Ed.D.
