FELICITA FAMILY NEWS

Hello Bobcat Families,

As the end of the year approaches, we have many important announcements. Please read through the entire newsletter. Thank you!

❤️ Mrs. Higginbotham

Grades 3-5 will continue in annual state testing (CAASPP) this week, with a focus on math. It is important for students to be on time to school and to be present every single day, but especially during these days! Please be sure your child has a good night of sleep and eats breakfast, whether at home or school. iPads need to be charged and brought to school daily. Good luck to our Bobcats! 🍀

Please visit: https://www.eusd.org/page/caaspp for more information on testing.

In accordance with EUSD Nutrition guidelines, we do not permit any food/drink items (such as cupcakes) to be distributed to students for birthdays. Instead, families are welcome to utlilize ideas such as:

-Bring a small treat bag with non-food items (example: pencils, stickers, etc.).

-Have the student bring in their favorite book for the teacher to read to the

class.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If you have not already ordered a Yearbook for your student, you have until this coming Friday, May 3rd. You can order in our online store or cash orders can be brought to the front office or the library.

Yearbooks are $20 each. Don’t miss out on a chance to own an entire year of memories!

Mrs. G is hosting a school-wide bookmark contest! Students will have brought home a template with the directions and rules for the contest. All entries are due this Friday, May 3rd. There will be one winner from each grade level and those bookmarks will be printed for the whole school to enjoy. We can’t wait to see what you create.

Here are some of our previous Bobcat winners!

By now you should have received your SPEC portrait packages for each of your students that were photographed. Parents have about a week to decide if they want to purchase any photos and to return either the money or the unwanted pictures to the front office. The due date is extended to 4/30.

Do you want to see your student's attendance or school information? You can do so by using your Parent Portal! If you do not remember how to log in please click here: https://www.eusd.org/page/powerschool-for-parents

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 at 8:45. 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!
