Hello again Condor Families,
Our fourth quarter is off to a great start! I know that many of you are wondering when report cards will be available. The teachers have until 11:59pm on April 3rd to get all their grades into the system. Report cards will be available starting the 4th. Please keep in mind that you can always check your students grades in real time by logging into your Parent Vue account. The next Coffee with the Principal will be on Friday, April 7th at 8:30am. For more information please see the announcement farther down in this newsletter.
Our PTO will be hosing the annual book fair next week, April 3 - 7. Your students will have the opportunity to visit the book fair with their classmates. However, the fair will also be open to the public from 4 - 6pm each day that week. We hope everyone will take the opportunity to visit the book fair. A big thanks to Ms. Susie and our PTO volunteers for making this possible.
Please take a look at the calendar of events below for other important dates. One week until spring break! Your students have worked hard. They've earned the time off.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Richard Romo
Principal, Condor Elementary School

Pedestrian Safety
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) it is critical to make pedestrian safety an important and regular part of conversations with your child. Below are some tips and resource that urge you to review with your child today.
- When walking to and from school, always focus attention to road and traffic conditions. This is no time to play with friends or be distracted.
- Always walk on sidewalks. If sidewalks are not available, walk on the edge of the road or on the left shoulder of the road, facing the flow of traffic. Use pedestrian bridges when available.
- Cross the street only at marked crosswalks or intersections. Pedestrians are most often hit by cars when they are jaywalking or crossing the road at places other than intersections.
- Look left, right, and left again for traffic. Stop at the curb and look left, right, and left again for traffic. Stopping at the curb signals drivers that you intend to cross.
- Obey all traffic signals. At intersections where traffic is controlled by signals or a crossing guard, pedestrians must obey the signal and not cross against the stop signal unless specifically directed by a crossing guard.
- Never walk to school alone. Always walk to and from school and the bus stop with other students or known adults.
You can learn more about pedestrian safety from the NHTSA website. Families, you can also support school safety by obeying all traffic laws in and around schools. Please observe the lowered speed limit around schools, and do not double-park your vehicle or allow your child to exit or enter your vehicle unless it is legally parked. By working together and being alert, we can create a safer environment for all our students. Thank you for your support with this important matter. If you have questions or concerns, please call your child’s school.
