| | | | | Dear Parents:
We are now on day eight of the Lenten Season. As we continue on this journey, we are reminded to show personal acts of kindness and sacrifice. We hope you continue to work with your children to help them better understand the concepts of prayer, fasting, and giving. We began our day by blessing the lenten boxes that your child is bringing home. Ask them to tell you how they are going to use their box to help others. Consider sitting down with your children once a week to discuss their Lenten plan. Meet as a family every Sunday during Lent and discuss ways you have shown personal acts of kindness and sacrifice. Be accountable to each other. If you make this a great Lent you will notice the difference on Easter Sunday. The celebration of Jesus' resurrection gives us much to which we can look forward.

To purchase tickets, please use the flyer you have previously received, or you can also make an ONLINE RESERVATION HERE!.

SILENT AUCTION: In today's envelope you are receiving information about the Cioppino Silent Auction. Please review the items and send in your bids! | | | |  | SPELL-A-THON: Today you will receive information about our third annual Spring Spell-A-Thon in support for our technology program. As per the financial policies, all K-8 students will participate in this activity. Additional sponsor forms are available in the office and online. | | PROGRESS REPORTS: Progress Reports are going home today. Again this quarter, all students, third grade and up, are receiving such a report. These progress reports show a snapshot of the student's current academic standing with optional comments from their teachers. The grading scale is available here. As a system default, art, PE, music and tech will show P/90-100% for students who fully participate. Students in the lower grades with behavior and/or academic concerns may receive a progress report if the teacher has concerns in these areas.
RE-REGISTRATION: Re-registration for current K-7th grade students will be online again this year. More information on how to re-register will be available mid-March.
LABELS FOR EDUCATION: In the past few years participation in Labels for Education has declined and as a result, Campbell has come to the very difficult decision to wind down the LFE program. The good news is that they will continue to accept labels until August 1, 2016. Send in your labels to the school office! Now we need to collect as many as we can before the end of the school year.
Thank you to all who responded to our request for recommendations about purchasing defibrillators for the school. We value your input!
Don't forget, Monday is a minimum day with 12:15/12:30pm dismissal. Extended care will be available until 6pm and there will be a $4 pizza lunch to purchase for those staying.
There won't be a newsletter next week as I will be away, Tuesday through Friday, leading a WASC accreditation team at St. Matthew's School in Phoenix, Arizona.
See you Saturday night at Cioppino!
