Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour on Sunday, 3/13! We "spring forward" and Spring is officially around the corner! Remember, next Friday, March 18th is a Staff Development Day. There is no school for students.

You will be able to view your child's report cards on Thursday, 3/17. Please use the Parent Portal to access your child's report cards.

As you may have heard FUSD will strongly recommend (not require) masks indoors beginning on March 14th. Masks outdoors will be optional. Masks will continue to be available to staff and students who request one. We will still be following the normal protocol when students present with Covid symptoms and will continue to follow the flowchart. This brings us into alignment with guidance from the state and Alameda County Health Care Service Agency.

We continue to ask parents to wait behind the red lines when dropping off and picking up your children.

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Johanna Cho
