Monthly Update

April 2024

Dear Families,


Happy Arab American Heritage Month!  This month our students were able to learn about Arab American history and about Arab American leaders. 

Thank you to all the families who were able to attend our Family Spring Gathering and for filling out our school survey!  It helps us plan out our goals for our next academic year.  With that said, we can’t believe we're already winding down close to the end of the school year.  Below are some announcements and events for our students:



STATE TESTING

Next week we will begin state testing for students.  Students will be provided snacks and an area to take the test quietly.

 

SCIENCE EXPO

On Thursday, May 2nd, Pathfinder Academy will be hosting our annual Science Expo where students from our sister schools will be attending.  Our theme this year is “Flight” and our students will get to engage in a few activities such as an escape room, forensic science, rocket launching, and more. 

 

BOWLING

Next Friday, May 3rd. we plan to take students bowling at Bowlero in Milpitas for a fieldtrip.  Students must be passing their classes, have no relationship work, and no after school time in order to attend.  Please look out for the permission slips coming home early next week.

 

PROM

All high school students are eligible to attend prom this year if they meet the requirements of passing their classes and are in good behavioral standing.  Prom will be on Wednesday, May 29th with Luxe cruises and events in Alameda.  We also support students in getting their outfits for prom, so please start talking to your student if they’re interested and let us know if there’s any support you need in terms of planning and clothing.

 

Please feel free to reach out to any of us on our team if you have any questions about the above events and announcements.

Thank You,
