RECESS Alternatives
RECESS Alternatives
Is your student looking for alternatives to the traditional recess activities? We've got options!
Mrs. Nigam, our science teacher, has been offering alternative activities at lunchtime recesses. Students in first through 5th grade have been building in the science lab. Ask your students if they have gone to STEM recess in the lab. If they haven't yet, encourage them to give it a try. Here is the current schedule:
Tuesdays: 1st - 5th during their lunch recess
Thursdays: 1st - 5th during their lunch recess
Ms. Hengst, our librarian, opens the library for students during lunch recess. Students who want a quiet location to read, exchange books, play games, or other quiet activities can visit the library. Here is the current schedule:
Mondays: 1st - 5th during their lunch recess
Fridays: 1st - 5th during their lunch recess
Remind your students of these awesome alternative recess opportunities.
Did You Know? September is Attendance Awareness Month because absenteeism in the beginning of the school year can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Studies show that students who miss 2-4 days in September were 5 times more likely to be chronically absent than students who were absent fewer than 2 days.
Getting into the habit of daily attendance is more important than ever, as it helps to:
● reduce stress
● make it easier to connect with friends and teachers
● support learning
As a district, we value attendance and want to partner with you in getting your students to school. If there is something that is preventing your student from attending school, please reach out to us, and we will problem-solve with you so that each student has a successful year.
Visit Pleasanton Unified School District’s attendance page for more information and review PUSD attendance policies here.
STUDENT ITEMS - Anything that comes to school should have the child's name and teacher's name clearly marked ("Sharpie" pens are great for this purpose).
STUDENT ITEMS - Anything that comes to school should have the child's name and teacher's name clearly marked ("Sharpie" pens are great for this purpose).
For parents who are dropping off items for students:
If not already marked, please clearly mark item with student's first and last name AND teacher's name.
Items left for students should be placed on the cart behind the entrance gate of the school office BEFORE 11:30am. Musical instruments can be placed under the bench inside the office.
School policy is that classes will not be disrupted for delivery of items students forgot to take to school. If your student is not expecting a drop off, please email your student's teacher so that they can let your child.
Our office staff works hard to manage all of the tasks necessary to keep Vintage Hills running, and we cannot guarantee that items left for children will be picked up during the school day.
Thank you very much for your cooperation!
