Perfect Attendance

Perfect Attendance

Congratulations to our 4 Iron Man winners. These students had perfect attendance all school year. That's 180 days of school. Way to go boys!!
PE Pizza Party

P.E. Pizza Party

This year in PE, our students (1st-5th grade) were challenged to run at least one mile each week and many of them went above and beyond! Several students accumulated enough miles to equal a full marathon or more over the course of the school year. To celebrate their hard work, we threw a pizza party for those who went the extra mile—literally! Our top five runners were Addie Temores (33.71 miles), Corbin Luna (33.42 miles), Logan Patrick (31.42 miles), Roman Salyer (31.25 miles), and Cash Saldivar (30.75 miles). Ten other students were treated to pizza who had run more than 20 miles and were entered into a raffle. Altogether, our students logged an incredible 4,875 miles equivalent to running 186 marathons!

Principal's Message

In California, once a student attends school, regular attendance is required.   This includes TK and Kindergarten.  
Too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
Missing 10% (or about 18 days) can make it harder to learn to read and be successful in school.
Students who are chronically absent in kindergarten are less likely to read by 3rd grade. 
Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two days every few weeks.
Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
Absences can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.
 
What Parents can do:
Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
Find out what day school starts and make sure your child has the required shots.
Introduce your child to teachers and classmates before school starts to help them transition.
Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomach ache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home.
If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other parents for advice on how to make them feel comfortable and excited about learning.
Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent.
Avoid medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session.
