Hi all,

Hope the transition back to school has gone well for everyone.  Things are going smoothly here on campus.  Fieldwork season is kicking in and we have a new gear shed to help with that.  Many thanks to Seamus Gallagher for building it and to Susanna Neave, Tina Bassett, and Sonja Martin for taking on the lovely task of organizing and inventorying all the camping supplies.

Our wall in M-2 in currently under construction, thanks to Matt
Parisi, and we are continuing to work on getting the turf field
approved and then built.

Also, thanks to Kirsten Pekarek for volunteering as our Measure U
representative.

No community meeting this week as crews will be meeting with buddies.

No school Sept 29 (TTUSD professional development day) and Nov 10-11 (TTUSD professional development day and Veteran’s Day).

Pick up and drop off have been going well, though couple reminders:
Please do not leave your car in the drop off/pick up lane; this forces
others to unsafely drop off/pick up their children in the roadway.
No elementary students allowed in the parking lot without a
parent/guardian; this is also a safety issue and a district request.

Last week’s Notes forgot to mention that Excellence in Education has changed their by-laws so they are now able to include SELS.  This was a wonderful gesture on their part and continues our process of truly being a district school.  As a reminder….

The money raised here supports our school and helps fund all of the
PTC events. The PTC pays 100% of Harvest of the Month costs, pays for new playground equipment and organizes many events to unite our crew.
Thank you for supporting our school!

Thanks,
