Welcome, Mila!

Habit of Mind: Striving for Accuracy and Precision
October's Habit of Mind is Striving for Accuracy and Precision. This habit is all about being methodical, intentional, and precise. Whether you're working on a math problem or deciding how to best respond to someone, this month we encourage our students to ask themselves, "Did I give my very best to the world today?"
Open Houses
We are hosting an open house tonight at 7pm for prospective kindergarten families! There are additional open houses on October 19th and November 4th. If you know of anyone who is interested, please send them our way! We'd love to meet them.
Land's End Field Trip
Tomorrow, Kevin's 6th grade class will go on a walking field trip to Land's End! Students should plan on wearing weather-appropriate clothing (check your weather app - this week is our San Francisco summer!) and comfortable shoes, and should bring a water bottle and a hearty lunch to school.

Our first spirit day of the year, Character Day, will be next Monday! Students and staff are encouraged to come to school as a character from their favorite film, show, book, play, video game - whatever inspires you!
