Eich Step Up Day for 5th Grade


Evacuation Drill

Students and staff participated in an Evacuation (Fire) Drill on Tuesday, 2/27.  Everyone did a great job.  We were all clear very quickly and back to instruction.


Parent Survey

The parent survey will go out this week on Wednesday.  

  • Students will receive a form for parents to sign and return when parents complete the survey.  Please return all forms to your classroom teacher.

  • We will do a daily drawing in the cafeteria for students to spin the wheel for prizes.

  • The grade level with the highest participation in completing the survey by 3/15/24 will receive an extra recess with Mrs. Barker


IB Update

Our learner profile attribute for the month of March is THINKER. 


Students who are thinkers work to solve problems independently. They can imagine many solutions to a question or challenge. 

Thinkers make good decisions and can predict the outcomes of their actions. They think creatively and critically. 


How can parents help to develop students who are thinkers at home?

  • Encourage your child to try to think of solutions to problems independently.

  • Pose different real-life problems and questions to your child:

    • "I'm not sure how to arrange the glasses so they can all fit in the cupboard."

    • "I wonder how much the groceries in the cart will cost...how can we make an estimate?"

    • "We need enough cookies for the 20 people coming to the party. What kind of change should we make to our recipe?"

  • Ask your children questions when they are working on a problem:

    • "Do you have any ideas about how we might begin?"

    • "How can we do this differently?"

    • "I had never thought of that. Tell me more about it."

    • "What other ways can we show that?"

    • "Why do you think that?"

    • "How did you figure that out?"

Save the Date: March 14th

Join PTC for a night of stargazing with telescopes provided by Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society at 6:45 on Thursday, March 14. We will have a short educational presentation by SVAS followed by free time to view the galaxy through various telescopes. This is a free family event! All students must be accompanied by an adult.  Please RSVP here so that we are sure to have enough equipment available.

Clean bathroom challenge begins!  


Next week we start a weekly challenge to keep our school bathrooms incident free. Unfortunately, students have been purposefully clogging toilets, defacing walls and causing other damage to our bathrooms. Starting Tuesday, February 13, for every 4 consecutive days that our bathrooms stay clean, students earn a school wide reward on the 5th day. The first reward is a lunchtime dance party! 


Help us reach our goals by talking to your children and encouraging them to follow our Bathroom PBIS Rules:

*Safe: keep water and soap off the floors; report problems

*Responsible: one person per stall; use the bathroom quickly and as intended; go straight back to class

*Respectful: flush toilet; keep trash out of toilets and off floors

We got this! We know we can Keep it Clean!
