Bear Cave
Week of 9/5/22
From the desk of Principal Lam
The Labor Day holiday marks the end of Summer and the unofficial beginning of Fall bringing football, all things pumpkin-spiced, and (hopefully) cooler weather. I hope that you spend this time with your family and friends. There will be no school for students or staff on Monday September 5, 2022 in observance of Labor Day. Classes will resume in-person on Tuesday Sept. 6th.
We are excited to begin our 21st Century Afterschool Program on Tuesday September 6, 2022. Students participating in this event will report to the cafeteria at dismissal. They may be picked up in the front of the school at 6:30pm. This program is for students in grades 2 - 5. Students will engage in remediation and enrichment activities, have dinner provided by Second Harvest, and overall enjoy a safe and fun afterschool activity for FREE! There is still time to join - scroll down for a link to register.
Please be sure that you have checked your child’s progress report that was released on Friday Sept. 2nd in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Links are below if you do not have access to this important portal.
On and Ever Upward,
Benjamin Lam
