Puma Pride
June 24, 2020
Summer time! (making the most our time). We want to emphasize that at this time during the summer months we continue to recommend developing and building our relationships at home and in partnership with our school community. Our focus with the newsletter during the summer will be to provide you with support and links for our families to continue be engaged in learning, provide social emotional supports for students and families and updates regarding our next school year. We also look forward to developing other modes of communication to support our partnership. Please continue to read and review our newsletter, website and social media. Stay healthy, hopeful, safe and always enjoy the time with family. We are Stronger Together! Go Pumas! Vamos Pumas!

San Jose Fire Department Message (Fireworks)
All types of fireworks, even those labeled 'safe and sane' are illegal in San José and most of Santa Clara County.
Not only are fireworks dangerous, they’re illegal and you can be fined up to $1,000 for using them in #SanJose. It’s not worth it! Report illegal firework activity this 4th of July.
If able to safely take photos of fireworks being used on private property, snap a photo to include with the online report at www.sanjoseca.gov/fireworks.
A 24-hour reporting hotline is also available at 408-535-5600 and 311.
All reports will be reviewed and if sufficient information and evidence is provided, the City’s Code Enforcement Division will issue a warning or citation.
