Campus Updates & Reminders:
We had a wonderful first week of the school year! Students spent the week getting to know their teachers and peers, creating community in their classrooms, and getting to know the PAWS expectations of Korematsu. Here are the PAWS expectations to review with your child at home:
P- practice kindness
A- act responsibly
W- work and play safely
S- solve problems
We are also asking our adults to practice PAWS expectations, especially in the parking lot. Please make sure that you are adhering to all traffic expectations and keeping the parking lot a safe place for all of our coyotes.
PTO Message:

- Family is from Puerto Rico
- Went to law school and eventually became a Supreme Court Justice in 2009
- First Hispanic person to serve on the Supreme Court
- Only the third women to serve on the Supreme Court
