Hello All! Welcome to the blog.

1. Tonight: Please sign behavior cards and Thursday Folders.

Many of you need to initial (not check the lines on the blue card.) Also, for those of you who need to fill in the out of state contact-when there is a major emergency the local phone lines are often overloaded and nonfunctional. It would be best to have an out of state contact for dire emergencies. An out of country contact works well too. :)

2. My email address is mcannon@gusd.net

3. Code words for tonight are:   BE BOLD

Have your child write down their table number and code words and get your signature tonight for table points tomorrow. :)


Thank you to the parents who are donating baby wipes! We use sooooo many of these each day-about a package a day.

The incoming fifth grade committee is selling bricks  which will be permanently placed in the amphitheater. If you are interested in participating in this legacy fundraiser there are forms in the office. 

$5, $6, $7, $8....whatever you can donate would be great...Mrs. Faieta put together a wonderful slideshow and a few videos to celebrate our fifth graders at promotion and at the walk through.  Please email her for details about dropping off the donation and the link to these super photos. afaieta@gusd.net
