Roadrunners in Action! Spirit Days!
Principal's Office
This is our Roadrunner Weekly for the week of June 6th through June 11th. It's hard to believe, but our final week of the 2020-21 school year is upon us. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank our entire staff for their tireless hard work in support of our school and students this year. Changing school schedules and routine; various COVID protocols and restrictions; new instructional models and programs; and risk of personal health and safety were just some many challenges our staff had endure this year - you all are the best! And thanks as well to all of our families for your trust and support during this year of unknowns and questions. It wasn't always easy and a lot was asked of you all as well in terms of adjusting to sudden quarantines and an increased need for academic support at home. We truly have a school community to be proud of! As we end this year, please continue to be safe this summer, so everyone can return healthy and ready to get back to normal school in the fall (*fingers crossed*)!
Chromebooks and mobile Hotspots will be returned this Wednesday through Friday for our in-person students; your child's teacher will tell you when. InterCONNECT students should return their Chromebooks to the library Friday between 12:30-4:00, or June 14th & 15th between 8:00-4:00.
Also, 5th grade families, please join us this Friday at 11:55 as we "Clapout" our promoting 5th graders and wish them a fond farewell as they move on into middle school. Families may line up along our main school entryway beginning at 11:45. Please do wear masks as we will be in close proximity to one another.
As always feel free to call or email me directly if you have any further questions or need support or help in any way! The school office will remain open with regular hours until Friday, June 18th.
Have a great week and a terrific summer break!!
Mr. Cubias
"Roadap to Reopening" - Highlights from Family Update #103 - Mr. Leaman, WPUSD Superintendent
Here is the UPDATE for Friday, June 4, 2021. There is information about graduation, COVID, summer programs, medication pick-up, and food service.
TWO MORE FRIDAY UPDATES
Our last Friday Update will be Friday, June 18, 2021! Our last day with students is June 11, 2021, with school offices closing the next Friday, June 18, 2021.
COVID CASE DATA
Our updated COVID cases and contacts are located on our website HERE.
GRADUATION/PROMOTIONS ARE A GO!
We are a go for graduations and promotions! Some have asked why we are offering 2 attendees from each immediate family versus a higher number. Unfortunately, this is based on the space available.
FOOD SERVICE
We are also offering daily meals to In-person learners when school is in session. Each meal box for Monday through Thursday will have one breakfast and one lunch. Friday's meal boxes will have 3 breakfasts and 3 lunches. Students on InterCONNECT or on home quarantine will continue to be offered to pick up a week's worth of meals on Wednesdays at Glen Edwards Middle School from 1-3pm. You can sign up HERE. Check out the WPUSD Food Service page HERE for more details.
HOW DO I REPORT A COVID-19 ISSUE TO THE DISTRICT?
If you have a COVID-related issue, please use the forms at the bottom of this update!
END OF THE YEAR REMINDER FROM OUR NURSES
If your student has medications at a school site, those medications need to be picked up by June 11th at the end of the school day. Also, if your student is missing any immunizations please make arrangements with their pediatrician or go through Placer County to get those immunizations prior to the start of the 2021-2022 school year.
MASKS NEXT YEAR OR NO?
The most asked question right now is if students will need to wear masks next year. The short answer is we don't know. We will follow the guidelines put out by the State, but it is difficult to predict what the requirements will be.
RENTAL HELP AVAILABLE
If you are having difficulty paying rent, there is help available from Placer County. Just go to the link HERE to get information.
HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAMS

Family/Staff UPDATE #103
"College Knowledge" Focus School of the Week - University of San Diego
“College Knowledge” Fun Facts of the Week - The University of San Diego is a private Roman Catholic research university in San Diego, California. Founded in July 1949 as the San Diego College for Women and San Diego University, the academic institutions merged from the California school system into University of San Diego in 1972. Since then, the university has grown to comprise nine undergraduate and graduate schools, to include the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering, Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, and School of Law. USD has 89 undergraduate and graduate programs, and enrolls approximately 9,073 undergraduate, paralegal, graduate and law students. To see the USD homepage, click here.
- Monday -
- Tuesday - The University of San Diego is set at the edge of an international gateway on a campus that's consistently ranked among the nation's most beautiful. Our focus on academic excellence — inspired by faith, infused with contemporary Catholic values and nurtured in a warm, community environment — empowers innovative, confident, original thinkers to make positive contributions by confronting humanity's urgent challenges in places near and far. For a campus tour of USD, click here.
- Wednesday - Ask any current Torero resident or the scores of alumni who once called Alcalá Park home—they will tell you their number #1 reason for living on-campus is/was the sense of community that comes from living among your peers. Nothing can compare to the fun and excitement of living in an environment where the learning never stops and lasting memories are waiting to be made. To get a glimpse of first year residence halls at USD, click here.
- Thursday - Currently the University of San Diego Shiley Graduate Theatre Program accepts seven students each year from hundreds of applicants. With only a two-percent acceptance rate, it has become one of the most competitive graduate acting programs in the country. The program’s graduates, including Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor Jim Parsons, star of “The Big Bang Theory,” have made their mark on the profession, performing extensively on and Off Broadway, in regional theatres and feature films, and on television. They have also founded successful theatre companies, written award-winning plays and screenplays, and performed throughout Europe and Canada. To see a brief bio of Jim Parsons’ journey into acting, click here.
- Friday - After class, students can relax at nearby beaches, like La Jolla and Pacific Beach, or explore Balboa Park, the biggest urban cultural park in the country, which is home to 15 museums, the San Diego Zoo and the Old Globe Theatre. Opportunities to kayak, sail, wind surf and more are nearby. Students can join group excursions, led by the school’s Outdoor Adventures program, or rent kayaks, surfboards and snorkel equipment on campus for trips on their own. To check out things you can do in Balboa Park, click here.

Online Roadrunner Store Open for Business!
WHAT IS THE ROADRUNNER STORE?
The Roadrunner Store is the place where kids can "shop" for items to purchase with the BEEP cards they earn here at FSS for Being Safe, Exercising Responsibility, Engaging in Learning, & Practicing Kindness!
Typically, the kids would be able to walk through our Roadrunner Store once a month and shop in person. For COVID safety reasons, we have set up a virtual on-line store. The items currently for sale can be seen in the gallery below. To place an order, kids simply need to print the order form from the Roadrunner Store website here, mark the item(s) they are choosing, and turn their form into their teacher or the school office. The last turn in day of this school year was this past Friday, May 28th! Deliveries will come this week. Any BEEP cards not used this year can still be used next year!
CHAMPS Corner
C.H.A.M.P.S. (formerly known as PTC) stands for "Committed to Honoring and Motivating Parents and Students". Parents play a vital role in helping to fundraise, plan school functions, and guide the direction of our school. See the flyers attached below for more information, and please contact Lisa Chandra at lisac.fss.ptc@gmail.com if you have any questions.
