SHES Weekly Update

Dear Shadow Hills Families,

I hope everyone was able to enjoy spending Spring Break with your children and were able to reset and relax. We have nine more weeks of school left! The last couple of weeks of school is always my favorite! Students can show off their skills and knowledge learned from the past year.

Our third through fifth graders will be gearing up to take their state testing, CAASPP. If you have a third through fifth grader, please ensure they are ready for the day and have had a good breakfast.

I'm looking forward to another fantastic week at Shadow. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Meris

Here at school, we have been very busy learning about citizenship - what it means, and how we can practice it! Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. Below are many ways that you can help you child continue to learn about the theme of kindness through reading about it, talking about it, and practicing it! We have really enjoyed exploring this topic at school, and I hope your family will enjoy it just as much!

Reading About It

Here are some books to help you learn more citizenship:

Practice It!

Together with your child, talk about what would make your neighborhood, family or community a better place. Choose something and do it together. You could make brownies for your neighbor, rake leaves, clean up a park, or any other that you or your child have.

Talk About It!

Here are some discussion points to help you talk about citizenship with your child:

• What do you think citizenship means and why is it important?
  
• Tell me about someone who is a god citizen. What makes him or her a good citizen?
• Do you think you are a good citizen? Why or why not?
• What is something you could do to be a better citizen of your neighborhood? Of your school? Of your classroom?

For Returning Shadow Hills Students:

The 2023-24 calendar year is now open in Synergy (Student Information System) and parents are required to update their child's information. This information update is imperative for the safety of your child should there be an emergency and we need to contact you. Please click here to update your information.

For New to Alpine Students:

The LCAP, or Local Control Accountability Plan, is our district plan for improving student achievement. As we begin to make adjustments to our LCAP, it is vital that we have our educational partners' feedback on this plan.

Your input will assist us in providing our students with an excellent education. The short survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. We would greatly appreciate your feedback. Click here to take the survey.

Sadly, the rain has moved our Mother Son Event. Please join us on April 27th!

Please review and save this handbook for reference throughout the year.

• Water bottles - It is extremely important that your child brings a water bottle to school DAILY. We do have multiple water bottling filling stations on-site to refill their bottles.
