Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
We had a small but enthusiastic group of parents enjoy the Parents’ Coffee in February. Parents had the opportunity to learn about the Next Generation Science Standards and experience the hands on nature of exploration and inquiry. Our next Parents’ Coffee will have Mrs. Stratton, our school counselor, share some tips on supporting your child’s social and emotional growth. Stay tuned for the date and time.

The person greeting students in the morning and sending them off in the afternoon is a super important person in a school community. At our school, that person is the Crossing Guard. We are looking for a person to fill that role as our Crossing Guard for the rest of the year. The Crossing Guard’s job is from 8:00 - 8:35 and 2:45 - 3:10. It does not need to be the same person for both times of the day. It is a paid position. Please contact the office (805-596-4075) if you are interested, or if you know someone in our neighborhood who would be interested. We want to keep our students safe and welcome them everyday with a smile.
School safety is our number one concern. Every month we have drills with our students to prepare them in the event of an emergency. These drills include fire, earthquake and shelter in place drills. We work in close collaboration with our local emergency service providers on most of these drills. Next week we will be have a shelter in place drill. The Sheriff and Fire Departments will be on campus for the drill. Please do not be alarmed if you see them. We are mindful of minimizing any stress for students, while providing opportunities to practice behaviors for an emergency.
Have a lovely weekend.
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt

Help Keep our Parking Lot Safe
Our pick up and drop off areas can get very busy, especially before and after
school. If you are picking up or dropping off students, please keep traffic moving so we can avoid traffic backing up in our parking lots.
Thank you parents!!
Thank you for all the generous donations of tissues and unscented wipes. We have happy noses and clean hands because of you! We could also use bottled water for students, especially with Spring and Summer weather approaching it's nice to have water on hand for kids. Thanks again, for your continued generosity.
