FELICITA FAMILY NEWS

Hello Families,

We have a busy week ahead with our first ROAR Assembly honoring our Learner Profile Award recipients, 4th Grade Family Day Lunch, field trips, Splash Lab visits, and more! Please be sure to check the upcoming dates at the bottom of this newsletter as we have tons of fun planned! :)

❤️ Mrs. Higginbotham

Please drive slowly through our parking lots at safe speeds. Cars have been whipping through the parking lot at high speeds, and this is very dangerous for our students and families. Thank you for abiding by all speed limits and posted signs.

Families,

Here are a few events we would like to invite you:

4/9 Family Day at Lunch for 4th grade (English) / Spanish

4/10 Dr. Villarreal Parent Workshop @ 5:30pm Class 1 (English) / Spanish

4/18 OPEN HOUSE 5:30-7:00 PM

4/19 PTA Elections + ELAC Meetings at 8:15 AM in MPR

Next week is our last week of jump rope! Can you believe it went by so fast? Let’s see how many more Bobcat athletes we can get into our 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minute clubs! I am so proud of the improvement of each student. Keep it up!

This week, 5th graders will also be starting state FitnessGram testing. We’ve been practicing all year for this challenge. Please make sure they bring proper PE shoes and water.

April 22nd-May 10th, Grades 3-5 will participate in annual state testing (CAASPP). CAASPP or California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress is the State of California’s system for monitoring student academic progress in ELA and math for students in 3rd through 12th grade. The primary purpose of CAASPP is to assist teachers, administrators, pupils, and parents by promoting high-quality teaching and learning through the use of a variety of assessment approaches and item types. 5th grade will also participate in the California Science Test known as the CAST.

During this time, it is important for students to eat a healthy breakfast, and be on time at school with a charged iPad.

You may have your child conduct practice testing to get acclimated to the platform.

Please see Superintendent Dr. Ibarra's letter in English or Spanish regarding CAASPP testing.

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