Pancake Breakfast Success
Shout out to the PTA for the successful pancake breakfast and raffle. It was great to see families and staff (Tam, Ann, Guzman, Carlos de Silin, Wettergren, Baker, West, Otilio, Morgan, Patil, DosSantos, Burle, Starlene, Fernandez and Taryn & Dina who are PTA members and staff) out on a Saturday morning. Please forgive me if I missed seeing you!
Principals' Meeting Tuesday and PBL School Visit Wednesday
This week there is the bi-monthly site administrator's meeting on Tuesday at John Muir Middle School, so I will be off campus until around 1:00 PM. On Wednesday, all the elementary principals, lead PBL (Project Based Learning) teachers, intervention specialists and district leadership will be visiting a PBL school in San Jose all day. Ms. Turner will be the teacher in charge for both of these days.
Promethean Board Training Wednesday, Dec. 13
The Promethean Board training will be on Wednesday, December 13 from 2:30-4:00 PM. All staff who will have a Promethean Board should attend. Para educators may attend the training as well.

Sexual Harassment Awareness
This past week I have had more than one complaint of sexual harassment between students. Sexual harassment is a suspendable offense for 4th-12th graders. If any student in 4th or 5th grade reports to any staff member something that could be considered sexual harassment please let me know ASAP verbally and in writing. With all the focus on sexual harassment in the news, the district is taking all allegations very seriously. It is better to report something, even if you are unsure. If you have questions or concerns please see me.
