Our Crew Celebration assembly this week recognized our first EPIC active citizen awards. Students. These students were selected by their classroom teachers for demonstrating our EPIC traits inside and outside the classroom. The students demonstrate kindness and understanding the feelings and abilities of others. These monthly recognitions also celebrate our students at Empathetic Collaborators because they do actively listen, engage, and recognize each other’s voices and unique qualities. Congratulations to our EPIC active citizens.
During this week’s celebration, we were thrilled to welcome many of our parent leaders. Our new PTA board members: President Rito, treasurer Janet, membership coordinator Venessa, fundraising Katherine, auditor Joanne, and VP George, invite All families to join PTA and support our learners.

Attendance Matters
Every school day counts when it comes to student success! September is recognized as Attendance Awareness Month, and we appreciate your support and encouragement for consistent student attendance. Every student is a valued member of our school community. Daily and on-time school attendance not only helps support our students' connection to school and learning, it is a key indicator of future success. Absences are understandable when a student is sick. However, missing 10 percent or just two days a month can cause a child to fall behind academically or feel disconnected from school and recovering is challenging for our students. When learners miss school, they are missed by their classmates and the caring adults on campus. We do notice! Our district has numerous resources to support families. Please do not hesitate to contact your school site if you are experiencing any challenges to daily school attendance for your child. Please contact our attendance clerk, Ms. Bautista (Miss Juana), jbautista@eusd.org or our family liaison, Mrs. Maldonado, xmaldonado@eusd.org or call the office at 760-432-2435.
After school Enrichment
Parents and families. We still have spaces available in the following after school enrichment classes for students in 3rd to 6th Grade. We currently have room in Recycling Green Crew, No Place for Hate / Peace Patrol, Ballet Folklorico, and Theater Center Stage (Lion King). Please register using the following link by September 17th, 2023. https://tinyurl.com/2sxe3sdk
