Pacific Sky Family Update
Principal's Weekly Message 3/20-3/24
Dear Pacific Sky Families,
The continued rain can make drop-off and pick a bit more complex. Here are the guidelines we must all follow to create a safe parking lot for everyone.
- Pull all the way forward in the drop-off line-even when it's raining.
- Have backpacks, umbrellas, and raincoats accessible and ready to go.
- Say your goodbyes quickly.
- Have your child exit and enter the vehicle curbside without your help as you remain in the driver's seat.
- When exiting the parking lot, take a right-hand turn. Otherwise, the parking lot becomes gridlocked with cars waiting for vehicles turning left.
- DO NOT pull to the side of the road in the bike lane on Solterra Vista and drop your children off. It causes confusion and an unsafe situation.
- Children are to walk with an adult in the school parking lot.
If you are unable to follow these rules or it is too frustrating, please park on the street and walk onto campus. On rainy days we hold off on taking attendance right away because we know it will take longer for drop off.
Gratefully,
Alison Fieberg, Principal

Commemorate your 6th grader’s memories at Pacific Sky
The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) is excited to start a new Legacy Tree program at Pacific Sky. We will offer all 6th graders the chance to have a leaf, engraved with their name and promotion year, on this special tree to commemorate their time at Pacific Sky and leave a legacy. You may reserve a leaf for your 6th-grade student with a contribution of $400 to DMSEF. This will also count for the Jogathon and prizes!
Please use the Legacy Tree form to indicate whether you would like to reserve a leaf for your student. Let us know whether you have already made a contribution of at least $400 to DMSEF this year or if you still need to make a $400 contribution to secure your child’s leaf.

Corporate Matching Update
Pacific Sky PTA is now registered with the corporate matching programs at Qualcomm and also at Bright Funds (e.g., Cisco is using that). If you work at those companies, please consider getting your company’s matching for your donations to the PTA.
For Qualcomm matching, you can use this link Qualcomm Matching Grants (you will need your Qualcomm credentials to log in). There is a date restriction of only matching donations in the last 6 months but Qualcomm allows exceptions for Pacific Sky PTA since we are new. If you donated in 2022, you can put December 1, 2022 as the donation date.
THANK YOU!
