This is an opportunity during morning drop off Thursday, April 21st from 8:00-8:45 a.m. to have families ask questions about upcoming school and district events including the CAASPP and ELPAC testing. Grab a cup of coffee and a snack and we look forward to greeting you, even briefly, before your leave campus and your morning begins.

This year the district will offer a summer Expanded Learning Opportunity Program free of charge for the district's students in grades TK-8. The program will run Monday-Thursday and Friday, 7/21. The dates will be 6/20-7/21 and the students will have 4 options: academic interventions (8:30 -12:30), academic interventions and enrichment (8:30 - 2:30), or academic interventions, enrichment, and city programming (8:30 - 5:30), and one of the first three choices plus an additional week or 2 weeks with the City of Emeryville summer camp.

Please fill out a separate application for each child. This is an official application, so please fill it out even if you already responded to the survey. This application will close on Monday, 4/24.

Application for Expanded Learning Summer Program and Camp

We will have space for about 10 students to participate in a variety of sport activities from April 25-May 30th after school from 3:15-4:30 p.m. Paper forms will be shared mid week and sign ups are first come first serve.

Please support our Book Fair next week before school (8:00-8:30 a.m.), during grade level lunch times, and after school (3:00-3:30 p.m.) in C102 (science room; exterior front door is located to the left of Mrs. Burke's office door). All students will have an opportunity to preview the Book Fair on Monday with their class.

Anyone interested in volunteering to help before or after shool, please let Jackie know!

We hope you will join us at our Open House on Wednesday, April 26 from 5:00-6:00 p.m. as we close out the year with an opportunity to see the learning and progress that has taken place this year.

The week of May 8-12 is Teacher Appreciation Week and I would love any and all support in celebrating and appreciating our teachers. We will create baskets for each teacher so some suggested ways to contribute if you chose to could be by adding gift cards, snacks, plants, relaxation items.

For anyone wanting to make a monetary donation, you are welcome to send the donation through cash app to $aymsstuco. Please state in the notes who it is from and what teacher is is going towards.

In the month of March, all but one class had lower attendance rates compared to the month of February. Our current average attendance per class is 90-93% which is very low. Please help us improve our schoolwide attendance by being on time and present daily and if you have any questions, please check in with the office!

As of Monday, April 3, 2023, masks have no longer been required in our schools, but students and staff are welcome to wear a mask if it is their preference. We encourage families to take COVID-19 tests at home if they are feeling sick, and we ask students to stay home and follow the new COVID-19 isolation guidelines. We ask students and staff to consider wearing a mask during school if they are exhibiting symptoms of illness.

We continue to ask parents to complete the California School Parent Survey. This survey is an opportunity to communicate your perceptions about your child’s school and will help us learn more about your opinions about Anna Yates.
