Roary's Report

Welcome to Roary's Report!

We're excited to share the latest news and events from our school community to keep you informed and up to date. Important weekly information, activities, and events will be shared here in one quick parent update.

This week, we are helping students build strong focus and persistence by learning how to stay on task throughout the day. We are encouraging children to break big assignments into smaller steps, minimize distractions, and take pride in finishing what they start. You can support this at home during homework, chore, or reading time by asking your child: "What is your goal for the next 10 minutes?" or "What strategy helps you get back on track when you feel distracted?"

Are you interested in knowing about the Local Control and Accountability Plan for the district? You can join the LCAP committee for the district. The first meeting is Thursday, 11/12 @ 5:30 in the LEC at the district office. We need one parent volunteer. Inquire about this great opportunity in the office.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Elisondo

Our upcoming Book Fair is right around the corner, and we need your help to make it a success! We are looking for amazing volunteers to help our students browse, choose their next favorite stories, and navigate their budgets during shopping hours. To ensure student safety, all volunteers must be officially cleared through the district before signing up for a shift.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. We do not accept any outside food for our students. We have nutritious and free lunch available to all students. A student lunch must be brought from home in a lunchbox. Birthday treats are still acceptable as long as they fit in our Wellness Policy. Examples of acceptable food items are below.

Thank you for your support!

If you haven't yet, please review the Wellness Policy here.

We appreciate your support in maintaining healthy classrooms and following the guidelines of our District's Wellness Policy. Remember, classroom parties must follow the Smart Snack Nutrition Standards. This means you will NOT be able to bring cupcakes, pizza, cookies, homemade goods, etc. to your student's classroom.

Please send healthy snacks to school with your student. If you are not sure what is healthy, you can use this Smart Snack Calculator, or please check out the picture list below that has some items that are approved.

We will continue to work together to ensure our students are safe and healthy while at school!

Please make sure they are individually packaged!

Please use this list to help you find fun birthday snacks for your student.

With our growing school community and an increase in teachers and staff, our freezer storage space has become very limited. As a result, we can no longer hold students' refrigerated or frozen items in our school freezers.

If your child would like to bring in "Smart Snack" popsicles or other frozen treats for the class, please message your child's teacher ahead of time. They can help coordinate the best day and time to send them to school so they don't melt before being enjoyed!

Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation!

We highly recommend keeping a complete extra set of clothes in your student’s backpack. Accidents, spills, and messy play happen, and having a familiar outfit from home guarantees they will have comfortable clothes in their exact size.

While the school maintains a loaner clothes pile for emergencies, our inventory is very limited. Please note that we do not always contact parents when a student utilizes our loaner clothes. If your child comes home wearing clothes you do not recognize, please do not be alarmed! We ask that you kindly wash and return all borrowed school garments so they are available for the next student in need.

Thank you for helping us keep our students comfortable and ready to learn!
