March 16th, 2026

It was busy, yet fun and exciting. Thank you to all the parents who came to meet with your student’s teacher for conferences. Our teachers are grateful for the opportunity to connect with you.
This week our 7th grade Dance class performed at LFJH, "Dear Diary!" They did amazing at the dance show. Our 7th grade Band also had a great week, participating in the Spring Music Festival at Cal Poly PAC. Sixth grade science classes launched rockets with their 3rd grade buddies. It was a hands‑on lesson that thrilled both grades.
Our school was full of joy with the opening of our new playground. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the ribbon‑cutting ceremony.

After such a busy and exciting week, we have a three‑day weekend.
Please note we will have early dismissal on Tuesday:
  • Kinder — 1:00 PM
  • 1st–3rd Grade — 1:15 PM
  • 4th–5th Grade — 1:25 PM
  • 6th–7th Grade — 1:40 PM

This Wednesday, our 2nd–7th graders will participate in an assembly with Retro Bill sponsored by California Central Coast Cops ’N Kids. Retro Bill is a motivational speaker who encourages students to be the best version of themselves.

I hope all of our Tiger families are enjoying warm weather this three‑day weekend!
