Dear Families,December arrives tomorrow. The long, dark, cooler nights bring us inside our houses and give time for introspection and reflection. We can look back over the past year and look forward to where we want to set our intentions in the coming year. We have just passed the first trimester and report cards were mailed home this week. This is a good time to reflect with your child about what has been going well and where they strive to do better moving forward. From my desk, I look back and appreciate the striving within the whole school community. The staff and students are working together and learning through all of the academic and social challenges that they are presented with each day. It is these very challenges that bring growth and joy. I appreciate my role as I have the opportunity to be in all of the classrooms and see the joy the children experience upon learning something new, conquering a task, or mastering a concept that they have been working on. So many great things are happening! Attendance: And, all of this joy and learning occurs for students when they are present at school. During the first trimester we had 12 students attend all 60 school days. I encourage you to set a goal with your children to attend school whenever they are healthy enough to do so. Please plan trips during school breaks so that they can accomplish this goal. Communication: A goal of mine is ensuring that communication between home and school is timely and successfully sent and received. To this end, we are implementing Parent Squareat BSUSD, a new form of home-to school communication. It is readily used throughout the schools in Marin County including Tam High School. It provides an avenue for teachers, staff, parents/guardians, and administrators to: Send and receive school and class informationShare pictures and filesSee calendar itemsSign up to volunteerand much more . . . all in one centralized place!Parents – Getting Started videoAll school/grade level and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text or you can download the free App.The Help & Support question mark in the top right corner can help answer most of your questions. Please open the email invitation that will follow this email to join Parent Square today and look forward to receiving more communication soon.

Field trip postponed due to poor air quality: All students will remain on campus today and activities will be held indoors when possible. We will still hold get to hold an Equinox all school activity with Don Jolley in the Quesada.

Good Afternoon~ We are actively monitoring the Air Quality Index (AQI) via Purple Air and AirNow. Currently, there is a fire in Novato. Attached is the current Air Quality Protocols for Schools. Each of our classrooms has an operating air purification system. When the AQI exceeds 150 activities will move indoors, whenever possible. This is currently in effect on the Bolinas campus since the AQI has put us into the red category. All classes have been moved indoors: "For all outdoor activities, take more breaks and do less intense activities. Consider moving longer or more intense activities indoors or rescheduling them to another day or time. Watch for symptoms and take action as needed.* Students with asthma should follow their asthma action plans and keep their quick-relief medicine handy."Stinson campus still remains in the orange category: "It’s OK to be active outside, especially for short activities such as recess and physical education (PE). For longer activities such as athletic practice, take more breaks and do less intense activities. Watch for symptoms and take action as needed.* Students with asthma should follow their asthma action plans and keep their quick-relief medicine handy."Please contact Ilie if you have further questions or concerns. Ilie Watterson Buenas tardes ~Estamos monitoreando activamente el Índice de Calidad del Aire (AQI) a través de Purple Air y AirNow. Actualmente hay un incendio en Novato. Se adjuntan los Protocolos actuales de calidad del aire para escuelas. Cada una de nuestras aulas cuenta con un sistema de purificación de aire operativo. Cuando el AQI supere los 150, las actividades se trasladarán al interior, siempre que sea posible.Esto se encuentra vigente actualmente en el campus Bolinas ya que el AQI nos puso en categoría roja. Todas las clases se han trasladado al interior: "Para todas las actividades al aire libre, tome más descansos y realice actividades menos intensas. Considere trasladar las actividades más largas o más intensas al interior o reprogramarlas para otro día u hora. Esté atento a los síntomas y tome las medidas necesarias.* Estudiantes Las personas con asma deben seguir sus planes de acción para el asma y tener a mano sus medicamentos de alivio rápido".El campus de Stinson todavía permanece en la categoría naranja: "Está bien estar activo al aire libre, especialmente para actividades cortas como el recreo y la educación física (PE). Para actividades más largas, como la práctica atlética, tome más descansos y haga actividades menos intensas. Esté atento a síntomas y tomar las medidas necesarias.* Los estudiantes con asma deben seguir sus planes de acción para el asma y tener a mano su medicamento de alivio rápido".Comuníquese con Ilie si tiene más preguntas o inquietudes.Ilie Watterson
