Hello Bobcat Families,

Check out some of the wonderful presenters we had at Career Day. Thank you to all who joined and lended your support. Here are just a few pictures.

At this point, all students should have returned their library books. If students still have missing books, they will continue to receive fine notices home until that is resolved.

Tech collection begins this week for all students.

Students will be responsible for turning in all pieces in good working condition to their library on their grade levels assigned day. If a student has any lost or damaged items, they will be receiving a bill to be paid before the end of the school year. Unpaid fines will remain on the students record.

Wednesday, May 29th -- TK, Kindergarten and 1st Grade

Thursday, May 30th -- 2nd and 3rd Grades

Friday, May 31st -- 4th and 5th Grades

If your student is attending summer school, they DO NOT need an iPad checked out to them.

If your 5th grader is attending summer school at the Middle School, they WILL keep their iPad to bring with them.

The San Diego County Office of Education and Computers2Kids are hosting an event for families to purchase affordable computers on Saturday, June 1, 2024, from 9 a.m. to noon at Oceanside Unified School District parking lot at 2111 Mission Ave. Oceanside, CA 92058. (Drive Thru Event).

Since the beginning of the 2023-24 academic year, the partnership between SDCOE and Computers2Kids has provided refurbished computers to San Diego families. As of March 2024, they have provided approximately 3000 refurbished computers to over 1,300 San Diego families. We hope your families are able to benefit from this event.

If you are interested in having your child attend a before and after school program, including the YMCA, next school year, please submit your interest through our district’s website at: https://www.eusd.org/page/before-and-after-school.

Just a reminder, the 2024-2025 Open Enrollment for Returning Students is now available. This letter was provided to families via mail. The letter provides your login information for the Parent Portal if you already have one, and if not, it explains how to create one. If you have any questions, please reach out to the front office.

Starting next school year, Felicita will join the rest of EUSD to offer breakfast before school only! Two choices will be offered:

1) A hot meal served in the cafeteria.

2) A grab and go option from a breakfast cart.

Benefits to these options include:

• The offering of hot meals, not just prepackaged, as currently offered.
• Fresh fruits and items previously not offered will be available next year.
• Maximized learning time---instruction will begin when school starts!

This means, it will be critical for you to get your child to school BEFORE school, if they would like to eat breakfast at school.

Your input was collected, and the majority of staff, students, and parents voted for a change to student dress code. Next year, we will move to a "free" dress code, and uniforms will not be required (although you may still wear them if you so choose). Instead we will wear free dress, abiding by standard district dress code. Clothing or jewelry promoting alcohol, drugs, tobacco, violence, displaying unacceptable messages, displaying foul or inappropriate language or symbols will not be allowed.

We will still have 1 spirit day a week-- on Fridays, when students will be encouraged to wear school colors (red and black) or Felicita shirts/gear.

As it stands right now, we will have 2 combo classes next school year: a 2/3 combo and a 4/5 combo. This is subject to change. If your child is selected for a combo class, please note, they will still be completing their respective grade's curriculum and instruction at their level. This change is due to budget cuts across the district.

Save the date! 5th grade promotion will be on 6/4. 5th Graders will have a special hot breakfast in the MPR from 8:00-8:30. At 8:30 we will open the gates to families and begin the promotion ceremony immediately following. Tickets not required. Important details to note:

• NO NOISE MAKERS will be permitted. Thank you for respecting our student's with sensory sensitivities.
• If you bring balloons, they must either be tied to the fence or behind the last row of seats. We cannot have anyone's view blocked.
• Money leis need to be taken home after the ceremony. The school is not responsible for any lost or stolen leis, gifts, etc.
• Parents, if you choose to sign your student out after promotion, you must have a valid picture ID and sign out in the front office. No exceptions!
