Short Week!
Welcome to our short week! Can I just say - - last week was a blast. Kids, parents, and teachers had a wonderful day Friday with our Apple Day! It was so much fun wandering between classrooms seeing the joy and learning going on. We had apple math, apple reading, apple tasting, apple writing, apple art, apple bobbing, apple racing...I could go on. Thanks to all our volunteers who made this day special. We appreciate your help more than you know.

5th Grade Called to the Sea!
Call of the Sea Field Trip!
Last week, our 5th grade students took sail on a schooner named Seaward. Students left from Sausalito and sailed around Alcatraz. They hoisted sails, steered the ship, and tied knots. Students were able to learn about the salinity, temperature, plankton, and animals of the Bay. They also learned about the watershed, which fits in perfectly with their science unit about cycles. According to Miss White, the high point of the trip was the "silent sail" where everyone sat quietly for 10 minutes and just listened. That's also the point where they sailed right by Alcatraz. The traffic was mild and they got home in time! The weather was beautiful, warm but breezy, despite a distant haze from the fires. It was an all-around amazing day!

Teachers Go to School
This week, students are off Thursday and Friday, but teachers go to school! We are blessed to be able to join ACSI for their Professional Development training for educators called "Educating for the Common Good." Teachers will listen to keynote speakers and attend training sessions according to their needs. We are looking forward to lots of learning!
Parent Teacher Conferences!
Please make sure you have signed up for your parent/teacher conference. Families need to meet with teachers K-6 for each individual child. The link below should allow you to be able to view times available for all teachers needed within one screen. This is a great time to hear about academic and behavior progress. We love partnering with you and can't wait to share the progress made so far this year!
