WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE!
I wish everyone a great opening week! Enjoy meeting your students and starting a new school year.
The Equipment Room is Open
Mr. Steven will be opening the equipment room beginning the first day of school. Cards are in your box. He will be coming to your rooms to take pictures of new students this week ~ and creating their card ASAP. Thank you, Mr. Steven (and Mr. Oscar) for investing in this project for our school. You are both awesome! We will be updating missing cards on a regular basis.
BAND ASSEMBLY
Fourth & fifth grade students are scheduled to attend a short Band Assembly this Wednesday, right after lunch. Mr. Hogue will introduce several instruments, and invite students to talk to their parents about joining band. There is an assembly at Whittney High School next Wednesday night for parents to get more information. Interested sixth graders may also attend.
PBIS Assembly
Our PBIS launch assembly will be held this Thursday, in the C-Center.
Lower grades: 9:00
Upper grades: 10:00
What can you expect? The assembly will be about 35-45 minutes long, will introduce our CORE VALUES through a skit with "Little Bobcats," (predetermined student volunteers.) It will be fun!
ART 4 KIDS
Deb De La Torre is back, with ART 4 KIDS! PTA has approved 3 full sessions this year. Each class will receive an individual art lesson for their class ~ one per trimester. We kick off in October, with dates scheduled for 10/8, 15, 22, 29, and November 5.

WoW! We have 57 students in 3rd - 5th grades who scored "Exceeded Standards" on BOTH the ELA and Math sections of the CAASPP. I will email each grade level with the specific names of the students.
