Coyote Connection

Dear Reidy Creek Families,

This week, we celebrated Read Across America Week! The week was filled with crafts, guest readers, and buddy activities that recognized the importance of reading. I even had the pleasure of reading some of my favorite stories to many of our classes. Our first graders also celebrated a huge milestone in their educational journey on Thursday. They celebrated the 120th day of school with special activities throughout the day. Both students and teachers were all smiles as they walked around campus with their crowns, badges, and/or certificates!

Report Cards:

All report cards for the second trimester were sent home this afternoon in your child’s backpack. These report cards reflect your child’s current progress toward end-of-year standards. As with any communication around progress, it is our goal to ensure that families understand what is specifically expected of each child and how well he or she is progressing toward meeting or exceeding grade-level standards. As a reminder, the goal for all Reidy Creek students is to meet end-of-year standards by the end of Trimester 3. This is a great opportunity to review current strengths with your child and areas to focus on for the remainder of the school year. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's progress, contact your classroom teacher.

Once you have reviewed the report card, please sign the envelope and return it by Tuesday, March 11th. Your signature indicates that you received a copy of the report card.

PTA Information:

I also want to take this opportunity to thank our PTA Executive Board. They do an excellent job organizing both school and community events, finding volunteers, fundraising, and allocating funds to our school. Members of the Executive Board can only serve for two years in one position. We are actively looking for parents willing to serve on the PTA Executive Board for the 2025-2026 school year. The new Board member ratification will take place at the Association meeting on Tuesday, April 15th. If you, or someone you know, is interested, please email reidycreekpta@gmail.com.

ELPAC Testing:

If your child is a current English Language Learner, they will need to participate in ELPAC testing which will occur between March 12th - March 28th. This testing includes four reading, writing, listening, and speaking sessions. You will be notified if your child is required to take this test. Students had the opportunity to partake in a practice session before they begin the test next week.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Megan Loh

Principal

We are in need of several volunteers for a few upcoming events.

Our Glow Party will be held on Friday, April 4th, from 5:30-7:30. We are looking for parents to help run this event smoothly. Volunteers are needed to set up the event, help out during the event, and clean up. This is one of our favorite community-building activities that the PTA holds, and we are hoping to make it a huge success. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out this glow party volunteer form.

I am excited to share that the 2025-2026 New Student Enrollment form for Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Special Education Pre-K is now open. We are still planning to have three TK classes next year, but our program is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you, or someone you know, is interested in joining one of our classes, I encourage you to register as soon as possible.

Families can enroll by going to our EUSD website and navigating to our New Student Enrollment 2025-2026 page.

If you have any questions about registration or our school's program, please contact our front office.
