Campus Updates & Reminders:
As you plan ahead on your family calendars, don’t forget to mark that there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, April 25, 2025.
On May 30th we will be inviting the City of Davis Police on campus for our annual Bike Rodeo at our school as part of our school’s bicycle skills program. The bike rodeo is a simple and fun activity to teach your child important bicycle safety skills. The event consists of a number of stations that allow your child to learn and practice proper bicycling skills. In order for your child to participate, the following is required:
- You must review, sign, and return the attached release by (add date of the rodeo).
- Children must bring their own bike, wear a bicycle helmet and shoes that fasten, no flip-flops allowed.
- Volunteers are needed for this event. Please email our Active-4-Me coordinator, Kat Richmond, at [email protected] if you would like to sign up.
Final yearbook sales are here! Online sales will close on Wednesday April 23rd. Order yours today at https://BuyTheYearbook.com with school ID# 723128.

Not attending in person but excited to do some shopping? The online auction opens this Sunday, April 20th. PTO will send out a link to the items when they go live. Get ready to shop unique experiences, curated baskets and great deals!
If your child has been selling raffle tickets, they are due next Thursday, April 24th by 3:10. Students can earn a bonus recess or pizza party for selling tickets, and the class with the most sales earns a frozen treat! So far, Hansen’s 4th grade class is in the lead with Ms. Azzarello’s K/1st in second! Keep selling those tickets!
Social Justice Corner:
Every month, our students learn one of the “ABCs of Social Justice”. This month, our word is empathy. Empathy is the ability to recognize and deeply listen to another person’s story or experiences and connect them to common understandings and emotions. Ask your student how they have practiced empathy during the month of April.
