It's National School Bus Safety Week (Oct. 18-22)! Here are some important tips for drivers on the road and students on the bus to help keep everyone safe.
SRO Deputy Espel visited classrooms to share Halloween safety tips. Some tips were to carry a flashlight while trick or treating so you are visible, look both ways before crossing the street, and get your candy checked before eating it. Deputy Espel also asked students to practice reciting their addresses and phone numbers so they can easily get home if they need help.
It's wonderful to see Pre-Kindergarten students in the classroom engaging in hands-on learning and play!
Did you know that October 2 is National Custodial Workers Day? This year has been particularly challenging for our custodial staff who are not only managing routine cleaning but also all the cleanup and moving to support the capital improvement construction project. Please join us in expressing gratitude to our custodial team for what they’ve done to make the buildings and grounds ready for the school year and what they continue to do to make sure the buildings are clean, safe and comfortable for students and staff. THANK YOU!

Happy School Nurse Day to our own frontline workers! CDE classes made this bandage bulletin board to show their appreciation for our school nurses, who have been working extra hard this year conducting contact tracing and administering COVID tests for student-athletes. To all the school nurses out there (but especially ours), we appreciate you!
