Spring Pictures
Friday, March 5 is Spring Picture day. Spring Pictures are different than the Fall pictures. All students will have their picture taken, receive a picture packet and have the opportunity to keep and pay for the pictures or return them. There will be free dress for Spring Pictures so the children may wear something nice for the picture. No spaghetti straps or tube tops allowed. If the student is not dressed appropriately the parents will be called.
STAR Testing
STAR testing begins on April 19 for students in grades 2-5 and continues for 4 weeks. Please try to avoid planning trips or activities during that time. More to follow...
Kindergarten Registration
We are continuing to register students for Kindergarten for the Fall. If you have a child or have neighbors with children who were born on or before December 2, 2005 it is time to register them for school. Please call (650) 991-1239 if you have any questions.
Third Grade Showcase Performances
You are invited to the Third Grade Showcase on Thursday, March 11th. There will be a performance at 9:00AM and 2:00PM. Parents are invited to the 2:00PM performance but may attend the earlier show if it fits your schedule better (it will be crowded as most of the student body will be there). Please come and enjoy.
Safety Alert
Last week, a girl from TRP was walking near Hillside and Mission. A vehicle drove up behind her and two men tried to get her in the car. She got away and went to school and the police were called. The girl is okay. However, this is a good time to talk to your children about safety. Please remind them about not talking to strangers, not going over to a stranger’s car or house. They should always walk with a group, in well-traveled areas. Stay away from isolated streets and abandoned buildings, and to yell and scream “help” if they feel unsafe.
Head Lice
In recent days we have started to see a few cases of head lice among the students. Please check your child’s hair frequently. If you find lice make sure they are treated and lice free before sending them back to school. Also, please notify the school so we
can send notices. Thank you.
