A Message from Principal Katherine about school absences
Dear Families,
As we move into the cold and flu season your child may need to miss school due to an illness. Please review and follow the procedures below if your child must miss school for illness or an appointment.
- If your child is going to be absent, please call or email the office. Please remember to provide the reason why your child will be absent. email cwoo@rcsdk8.net or call 650-482-2406. Please leave a message with the child's name, grade and date, and reason for absence.
- If your child is absent due to illness or a family emergency, the absence will be excused. Absences for any other reason will be considered unexcused even if you call to report the absence.
- If you do not call to report why your student is absent, the absence will automatically be considered unexcused.
- Please avoid using school days for vacation and travel.

READ-A-THON
The 3rd annual Read-A-Thon is starting on November 1st, to run the whole month of November!!! In conjunction with the Author-Illustrator Fair, we want to encourage our students to celebrate reading. Our hope is that through the encouragement and support from family, friends, teachers, and classmates, each of our students will develop and foster a love of reading for many years to come. Bonus — the money raised helps fund their STEAM enrichment and many other school activities! Let's aim to have everyone reading and helping to fundraise for our entire campus! Last year we raised nearly $25,000 and this year, we are hoping to reach $30,000! Let's reach for the stars!
See the attached flier or go to the Read-A-Thon website for more information. We have sent home the flier and an information sheet with your child's school folder this week. You will receive an email from the DoJiggy site (at the primary parent’s email registered with our school) with information for your student’s personal Read-A-Thon page. Let's get our kids excited about reading!
