Open House is this Wednesday. This is a really big deal for your kids. They have been working very hard and Open House is a chance for them to be your tour guides around the classroom. I understand other things come up but there is only one kindergarten Open House- it's from 6pm to 7pm and it really shouldn't take an hour.
The book fair is also this week. We visited as a class today but I encourage you to go in with your child and purchase books if you would like. It will be open Wednesday night but it can be a zoo. The book fair ends on Thursday.
Our field trip on Friday was fantastic. I hope you will go back to the Richardson Bay Audobon Center with your family. There are lots of great programs and many of them are free.
Spring Break for NUSD is April 12-16 NOT next week. It is typically sic weeks from our mid-winter break regardless of when Easter falls. If you have to miss for a religious reason please send a note to the office explaining.
Spring Fling is coming up. Every year many of the teachers auction off teacher time. This is a chance for your child to do something with their teacher outside of the classroom. I open my teacher time to anyone who would like to come regardless if you sign up at Spring Fling or not. I will be sending out a flier on the Monday after Spring Fling if you were not able to attend and would like to sign your child up. It will be in on a Friday in May. Those who signed up will walk over to the park at 11:30 after school and we will have pizza, juice, snacks and play. I will bring some bubbles and chalk with me too to play with. I ask that if your child is attending that the parent attends too. If you are not able to attend just make arrangements with another parent to look after your child. If your child goes to the YMCA and would like to attend please see if another parent can walk them over and I will walk them back to the YMCA at 12:30 when we are done. The cost of the event is $20 per child, and the check can be made out to Rancho PTA. There is no cost for non-school aged siblings and they are welcome to join in the fun. If however you would like to sign your school aged child out for lunch and have them join us I would encourage you to pay the $20 for them to PTA as well. This is a great fundraiser and I hope you and your child will join in the fun.
