Our Learning Community...
The PTA Glow Dance was amazing! Thank you to all the incredible volunteers who planned and executed such special night for our community! Our next big event is the Fall Festival on Friday, October 27, so save the date! More information about how you can help contribute or volunteer will be coming soon! Before the Fall Festival our PTA will be selling Spooky Grams, check out the flyer below for details and the link to a Sign-Up Genius to help out. Thank you for the support!
As many of you have noticed Ms. Ruth has been out, she has taken a Family Leave and we do not yet know her return date. We appreciate all of your flexibility and patience as we cover her role in the front office. Starting this week Stephanie Guido will be filling in consistently while Ms. Ruth is out. She can be reached at sguido@sandi.net for all of your attendance, enrollment, and PowerSchool needs.
Honor Flight San Diego
Eighty-eight local veterans from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam were flown to DC to see their memorials as a part of the Honor Flight San Diego program. During war times letters from home were the only form of communication they were able to receive, so on the flight there they had "mail call" to deliver letters from students. The smiles these brought to our Vets was priceless!

Xello
Xello for Elementary students helps spark curiosity about the future! San Diego Unified has emailed families access to the Xello Family Portal, so that you can help our youngest learners develop a solid foundation for future success.
