9/27-10/1

Dear Blue Oaks Families, 

It's officially Fall and as a reminder, there is no school this Thursday 9/30 or Friday 10/1 so go and enjoy your extra long weekend.  Thank you parents and guardians that attended our PTC meeting. Having a strong partnership and parent input is so important.  As a reminder progress reports were send home, please take a look at those if you haven't already done so.  If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher.  We had another fun Bear Hugs Store on Friday. It is so fun to see students' faces light up when their names are called! We also had a character concert and we focused on Respect.  Below you will find the students that were chosen by their teacher for showing respect. Way to Go!!! Next Month we will be focusing on RESPONSIBILITY! One final reminder, when picking up or dropping off your student, if you need to help your student in and out of the car, please park in a parking spot and walk to get your student. We need to make sure our pick up and drop off system is fluid so our families can come in and out in a timely and safe manner. Getting out of your car in the yellow zone to help your student can cause a back-up resulting in parents driving around the park car and that can cause even more congestion. I appreciate your help in keeping our students, families and vehicles safe. 

As always, please contact me if you have any questions, 

Mrs. Cumbra

Dear Blue Oaks Families, 

The weather seems to finally be cooling off and we are all very excited about it. We are starting our 7th week of school and I have truly enjoy getting into the classrooms and watching our students learn and our terrific teachers teach!  I also love to pass out bear hugs to our students that are demonstrating our bear necessities: Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful. Ask you child if they have earned bear hugs and why? 

As always, Please let me know if you have any questions,

Mrs. Cumbra

 Dear Blue Oaks Families! 

This week went fast! It was 4 days of fun and learning. We recently had our first lock down drill so if your child comes home asking questions, please know we had a practice drill on Thursday. All student and teachers followed our protocols and it was a successful practice drill.  We also had our first character concert and discussed respect.  We will have a character concert each month that will focus on different attributes.  I also wanted to remind everyone that our lunch menus are subject to change and I know it can be frustrating for our students to be expecting one thing but then get another. We are working with our food services to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patience.  

Also, I am so happy to share that we made a little over $39,000 with the dance-a-thon! WOW! we have such an amazing community. Here are the top fundraiser winners:

• Rayan Neronda
• Averie Yeates 
• Sophia Alvarez
• Peter Ogden
• Leonardo Marques
• Nathan Walmsley
• Ezra Barnie
• Crew Clariborne
• MaLea McLish
• Julia Brown

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. 

Thank you,

Dear Blue Oaks Families, 

I hope you had a nice and relaxing weekend. I am so happy we are entering the Fall season! Our students have been able to take advantage of the cooler days and have eaten outside. They really like to have a picnic lunch.  The dance-a-thon was a huge success. Thank you for all your help and support in making this fundraiser an outstanding opportunity for our school.  In the upcoming weeks, our library will be opening and know that will be exciting for our students. 

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. 

Thank you,

Mindy Corr 

She has been doing it all! She's going above and beyond the TOSA description. She's filling in where needed (lunch duty, picture day helper, CPI expert), giving students who need a little extra attention some individual time with her, and helping out teachers with individual assessments. Not to mention the occasional recess duty relief! She's doing a great job helping everyone during this crazy start of the school year. Hopefully things will calm down, we'll get all our assessments done, and she can have a normal predictable schedule working with our kiddos. Great job riding the crazy first month of school wave Mindy!
