Have a great week...
Wow, we really hit the ground running last week! Students and staff returned from break full of energy and ready to get back into the business of school. Teachers used the solar eclipse as an opportunity for extended science learning.The solar eclipse was awesome and a fun experience to see. Thank you to the Bell family and other parents for suppling some glasses so that some students and staff could view the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse.
Tomorrow we honor our Military Kids by wearing purple for Purple Up Day!

April is the month of the military child. Let’s celebrate by wearing purple on 4/15
Every April, all month long, we celebrate the courage, perseverance and tenacity demonstrated by our military-connected children, youth and teens and what they mean to our community. Though children of military members are some of the most adaptable and resilient youth in the world, we know frequent moves and family separations can be challenging. That is why our mission to serve every student, every day, every where is so important, not just for the this month, but throughout the year! I hope you will find a way to celebrate military connected children.
Please enjoy the heartfelt message from the Secretary of Defense.

When your child must be absent for any reason, please call the office at 858-988-2200 by 9:00 a.m. every day of non-attendance, giving the exact reason for the absence. You can also email Renee Erickson at rerickson@sandi.net
Any child arriving after 7:50 a.m. must stop in the office and pick up a tardy slip. This is disruptive to your child and the entire class. Let's set good habits early in the school year to arrive on time.
