Happy Lunar New Year - Gong Hei Fat Choy  to our families celebrating this week!

We hope that you are healthy and well.  We know it continues to be a challenge to learn from home.  It is not ideal, but teachers are working hard to build connections with students  to make learning as accessible and engaging as possible.

I want to point out SFUSD’s most recent family digest that speaks to re-opening and what the the instructional plan could look like for our students return. 

I have several important reminders and announcements for this week:

  • Tonight’s (Thursday 2/11/21) family invitations include:

    • SSC at 4:30 and PTO at 5:45.  Please see our website for the community calendar on the website for the link to join us.

  • Reminder there is no school for students:

    • Friday, Feb 12th in celebration of Lunar New Year 

    • Monday, Feb 15th in honor of President’s Day

Important community announcement that are worth your attention:

  • The State of California will mail cards directly to families March through June. Families do not need to apply. Benefits have recently been increased by 15% and will include any August and September funds not received. Like school meals, P-EBT is available regardless of citizenship status and is not considered a “public charge.” 

To receive P-EBT, review the following two steps before February 22:

  1. Ensure your children are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. If you haven’t already, update your household income information online by submitting the Multipurpose Family Income Form. 

  2. Ensure yourmailing address is correct. Check which address you have on file or update it by completing the Emergency Card form online in ParentVUE.

Thank you for your attention and support.  Don't forget to stay up to date with our weekly Rams Weekly Bulletin.

Sincerely, Principal Fierst
