Opportunities to Help
Local Families in Need this Holiday Season
Caring Coins Throughout the
year, and especially during the holiday season, there are many families
in need at our school. They may not have clothing to wear or food to
eat. In the school office and in the classrooms there are containers
labeled "Caring Coins". By donating your coins or dollars, families at
Pomerado will receive the necessities they need. The money will go
toward gift cards for these deserving families.
Adopt-A-Family
This year our school is adopting three PUSD families (15 individuals)
that need our assistance this holiday season. To maintain the privacy of
the families involved in this program, the families we are adopting are
not Pomerado families. Other schools in the district are adopting
Pomerado families in need.
In the office on
the wall next to the PTA
bulletin board we have setup a Giving Tree. On the Giving Tree
are apples that have specific wishes for each family member. Please take
an apple, and return the item to the school office by Wednesday,
December 2nd. Following are more details:
Please provide new and unwrapped
gifts; gift cards are OK too.
Please provide a gift receipt for
clothes and shoes.
Return the gift with the apple
attached so the item is delivered to the correct family.
Please note the dollar amount on
any gift cards you donate.
Thank you for
your participation in these important programs.
PARENT RESOURCE GUIDES HELP
PARENTS UNDERSTAND GRADE LEVEL REQUIREMENTS AND
CORRESPOND TO THE ELEMENTARY PROGRESS REPORT CARD
The Parent Resource Guides were created
to correspond to the new Elementary Progress Reports. For each grade
level standard there are links that will provide instruction and
practice opportunities for students.
You can choose to make a
difference for our school in nearly every aisle of your grocery store.
Clip Box Tops from hundreds of your favorite brands and send them
to school. Our Fifth Grade Boosters will be using the funds raised to
make this an extra special last year of elementary school for the Fifth
Graders! Click
here for more information.
Pomerado has a newStudent
Emergency Release Plan. Please make sure that you read
the procedures, so we are all prepared in case of an emergency.
Pomerado is using a system
called ConnectED to call our families with important recorded
messages. Once in a while, when listening to a message please be aware
that the background noise at the receiving end may cause the system to
stop and restart or it may cause the message to stutter and repeat. It
is calibrated very delicately to determine whether a person or an
answering machine is responding to the ConnectED phone call. If possible
move to a quiet area, or press the “mute” button on your phone. Also, if
you missed any part of a message, please stay on the line and press “*”
(star) to hear the message again.
Please take a few minutes at home to
carefully check your child’s health before he/she leaves for school each
morning. The following are a few suggestions, which may help to guide
you:
REASONS FOR KEEPING YOUR CHILD
HOME:
Illness during the night
Fever is present (100 degrees or
greater)
Complaints of nausea, upset stomach,
vomiting, headache, diarrhea prior to leaving for school
Development of a rash on face and/or
body
Has a severe cold, cough and/or sore
throat
Has inflamed eye(s) with discharge
from them
Please Remember: An ill
child cannot function properly in the classroom. The spread of
illness and disease through class or school can be more easily monitored
if sick children remain at home during the acute stage of an illness. If
the school health tech detects any of the above, your child will be sent
home.
People with influenza-like illness
are to remain home until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever
(100o F [37.8o C]) without the use of
fever-reducing medications.
A student’s absence should be reported
on the School Absence Hotline by calling: 858-679-2604.
Homework can also be requested on this
phone message, please indicate when you will be picking it up.
