Wildcat Weekly

Letter from Mrs. Tapia

September 2025

Dear Wildcat Families,

We are settling into the school year beautifully, and it has been such a joy to see students learning, making new friends, and living out our Wildcat Way. This month we are continuing to focus on the expectation “Be Safe”—whether in the classroom, on the playground, or during arrival and dismissal. Thank you for reinforcing these important habits at home!

Here are some important dates and opportunities coming up in September:

Positive Parenting Series

Please join us! The second session is NEXT Wednesday, Sept. 10th at 2:30 in the library.

Livermore Learns, our amazing social workers, Irene Covarrubias and Erika Dittmore, and Triple P Positive Parenting are excited to offer a 3-part in-person series designed to provide you with the tools and strategies to help build strong, healthy relationships with your children, manage their behavior, and feel less stressed!

In the second of the three presentations, "Raising Confident, Competent Children," you'll discover how to help your child develop the skills they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. This session provides an introduction to the six core "building blocks" of success, giving you the tools to foster strong communication, build healthy self-esteem, and teach your child the problem-solving abilities they'll need to become a confident, capable individual.

Session #3: Wednesday, Sept. 17th at 2:30pm in the library
