Hello Bonsall West parents!

Our students continue to astound us with their growth on the District i-ready assessments.Our students made phenomenal growth! One student made 967% of typical growth in one year! We had our first ever student leadership day on Tuesday. This fun event was completely child planned and child led under the supervision of Miss Andy, our school counselor. There was a celebrity game show theme that our entire student body participated in. The energy level was electric! Our 6th graders performed an Egyptian history themed play on Wednesday. It was so much fun! The 3rd grade went on a field trip on Thursday. Also, this week, our top competitors competing in the District Tomlinson games. Our students were amazing competitors and showed amazing character. They cheered not just their classmates and school mates on, but the students from the other schools! We swept 5 of the races, meaning we came in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place! We also have numerous events where students placed 1st/2nd. We are proud of all of our students for competing!

We have our Mellano Farm event on Friday, 5/19 from 5-8 p.m. This is a free event.

Calling all parent volunteers! We will have a thank you volunteer breakfast on Thursday, June 8th at 9:00 a.m. Please see the attached flyer and rsvp to JoAnn Carruego in the school office if you plan to join us. We truly appreciate all of our parent volunteers!

Our front office doors are locked during the school day for student safety. Please make sure to send your child with all the items they will need during the day to decrease the amount of foot traffic in the front office. In addition, if your child will be leaving early during the school day for an appointment, please email your child's teacher and call ahead to the office so your child will be ready for you when you arrive. Thank you!
