January Monthly Message – Tuesday, January 17, 2023
Good Morning Cabrillo Families!
Campus Updates
After 17 days of intense rain across California, it looks like we can put away our snorkels and resume sunny weather. Cabrillo had some surprises when we returned to school starting with our water main. Fremont Unified School District plumbers were on site repairing the damaged water main deep into the night – work was completed by 2:00 AM! I have linked a letter from Director Tom Ekman from Maintenance, Operations, and Grounds attesting to the safety of the water. If that wasn’t enough, one of our very tall pine trees near San Pedro was uprooted by the storm and fell on the kindergarten yard in the very early morning hours. A crew came out in the morning and quickly removed the tree. We are looking forward to cutting the remaining stumps into coins to place in the grassy area near the kindergarten playground.
Coffee with the Principal
PTA is hosting a Coffee with the Principal on Wednesday, January 18th at 8:30 in the cafeteria. This month will feature PBIS Coordinator Mr. Thibodeaux. He will be sharing information on the Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) program at Cabrillo Elementary. This initiative is helping our students have a more positive experience at school.
Progress Reports
Progress Reports will be sent home on Wednesday, January 18 in the Wednesday Wildcat Folder to families of students in danger of not meeting grade level standards by the end of the trimester.
Cabrillo PTA Meeting, Tuesday, January 17 @ 6:00 in the Cove
