Happy Friday Amazing Families,
I am on the EGUSD Math Leadership team. It’s been an amazing opportunity for me to grow as a teacher over the past couple of years but it does take me out of the classroom for professional development. Due to this and other trainings, I will be off campus and will have a sub several days in the coming months. In February I will be out 2/8, 2/15, & 2/28. I always try my best to secure a familiar sub so the students are in great hands.
Open House News: A & D Tracks are scheduled to have Open House on May 11th 5-6:30. Unfortunately this is a conflict for me due to my math leadership commitment. I have a mandatory meeting that I am unable to reschedule on this very evening. I really do apologize but due to this I have to reschedule our class Open House with the B & C tracks date so we will join them on Thursday, June 8th. I know this may cause an inconvenience for you with multiple children having to come for another evening event. I do not want our class to miss out on Open House… it’s one of my favorite events of the year!!! It’s the best solution I could find to the scheduling conflict. Thank you for your understanding!!!
Fundraiser!!! We will kick off our school’s largest fundraiser of the year, APEX Fun Run! Students will come home with their pledge lanyards on Monday. Please keep an eye out! This is a super fun and very important fundraiser for our school!
