Estrada's E-Notes
January 2021 Edition
Happy New Year!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I know for some people it may have looked a little different this year as with a lot of things in our lives right now.
I was grateful for the opportunity to recharge to finish the second half of the school year strong.
It was also an opportunity to reflect on the past year. We've been through a lot as a school community which I feel has brought us closer together and even stronger. I'm continually impressed by how resilient our students are, how dedicated our staff is, and how supportive our parents are.

January Read Aloud
Teachers are sharing the video in class, but you can also watch The Couch Potato here. This book is the fourth in the series. Last spring I shared and recorded the others: The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, and The Cool Bean.

Heath and Safety
Thank you for your cooperation with the safety precautions we have in place. Your diligence is helping to keep our school community safe so that we can stay open.
Cloth masks are required to be worn by all children and adults while on campus. The mask should hook around the ears and must cover the nose and mouth.
Proper hygiene consists of washing our hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. Hand sanitizer is available and utilized across our campus.
Practicing social distancing in the hallways, classrooms, and bathrooms.
Stay home when feeling sick or displaying symptoms. Please reference the Student Symptom Decision Tree. Our Health Office staff uses this same decision tree when making determinations about sending a student home from school and when a student can return to school after an illness.
Communicate with our health office with any questions or concerns. Nurse Sarah Hacker may be reached at shacker@nmusd.us and you can contact Dana Hansen in our Health Office by calling 949-515-6965.
