  • Thank you for the delicious feast. A loud shout out thank you to the amazing parents who came to set up and clean up the feast.
  • Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break. Don't forget to have your child practice math on tenmarks.com and typing. The links are above tabs.
  • A message from 2nd grade team "Due to the problems with the light rail, our next field trip to the San Jose Museum of Art/ Christmas in the Park on December 5th had to be cancelled. We will try to re-schedule the field trip to the San Jose Museum of Art in 2014. We encourage you to take your student to Christmas in the Park to see our beautiful 2nd grade Ruskin tree over the break. It will be like a scavenger hunt to find it, which will make it all the more fun."
