Hello Monterey Park Families 

It’s November! This fall is flying by with so many things happening at school. This has been a busy and rewarding start to the school year. 

Thank you to those family members that attended last week’s Diwali assembly and shared stories of how they celebrate this cultural event. The school was buzzing with students who were engaged in the learning. 

Please see information below regarding Demographic Verification reports. These must be completed and many families are still missing this. If you have not yet done so, please follow the instructions below to get these important documents up to date online. 

We had a lot of positive feedback about wearing Halloween costumes to school. Many students did and many students chose not to and we are happy to see people making choices that are right for their family. We are working hard to build a community of belonging. 

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Winter is Coming… 

Please ensure that your student(s) are dressed appropriately for colder weather. We go outside to play and learn up to -20 . Children learn best when they have time outside and in the fresh air every day.
