Some thoughts for this Week
Edition #34
Hello Woodsy Owls,
I hope you all have a great week. I look forward to seeing you May 22nd at 6 pm for Open House. Only a few short weeks until CAASPP testing for our Third Graders. AND only 28 days left until Summer Break.
We have a lot of activities planned for these final weeks, so please keep reading until the end of the newsletter. Tuesday Wild Things will be back for a special Encore for our TK and K students. A huge shout-out to PHEF (Placer Hills Education Foundation) for funding this. We appreciate everything you do to make our district shine.
CAASPP testing will be the weeks of May 20th. Please make sure you avoid scheduling dentist or other appointments this week. When kiddos have to make-up a testing day, it can sometimes through off their confidence.
It's important to recognize that missed testing days can sometimes affect students' confidence. Therefore, ensuring their presence during the scheduled testing dates is crucial. Additionally, we understand the significance of striking a delicate balance for each student, wherein they grasp the importance of the assessment while feeling confident and at ease.
We trust that, as a parent, you understand your child's needs better than anyone else. Therefore, you are best positioned to communicate this message to them in a manner that resonates with them most effectively. Please let us know what we can do to do make this an easy and comfortable process for your kiddo.
Hang-on! The days are going to fly by!

Woodsy Owls Who Give a Hoot!
Please join me in extending our heartfelt congratulations to these humans who exemplify the qualities that define a true Woodsy Owl. While numerous Woodsy Owls engaged in acts of helpfulness, demonstrated outstanding behavior, took ownership, and practiced truthfulness over the past few days, these few really went the extra mile. Each of these students has a photo displayed in the front office and received two HOOT LOOTs that can be used to purchase fun rewards
