Joe – Welcome back. Two more months till the end of the school year.
Mr. Fong – Thank you to our parents, I can’t believe its May. We had our SLT meeting and I wanted to say I’m grateful to our parents. When I started, we had 1000 kids and now we have 500 plus students, but we didn’t loose any of our art programs. Thank you for the support of our parents and the Parent’s association. At SLT we talked about reduced class sizes. We were granted to open 4 more classes; the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade; general ed classes will be smaller but not the G&T classes. The general ed classes might have 15+ students in each class.
Joe – Thank you, Mr. Fong. We’ve been busy with the state ELA testing the last 2 weeks and the next 2 weeks with the State math test and Science test for the 5th graders.
Mr. Fong – we had full attendance for the 3rd graders; no 3rd grader was absent for the state test.
Joe – We have a lot to do this month and this upcoming month.

Dear Parents and Guardians of Pre-K to 5 Graders,
The Parents Association plays an important role in our school by supporting the initiatives of the Principal and administration. The PA serves as the main information center for many parents unfamiliar with the Board of Education and our school. We are responsible for the many annual fundraising events, school parties, book sales, workshops and school fairs; which helps pays for all the art programs and administrative things that are not covered by the Board of Education or Department of Education (DOE). None of this would be possible without your participation and support.
There will be a Parents Association General Meeting for all in the auditorium on Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at 8:45AM. The topics to be discussed are:
o Principal welcoming
o Reading and Approval of Minutes
o PA Financials: May Treasurer’s Report
o Special Expedited Elections for 2025-2026 PA Board and SLT
o Voting on budget for 2025-2026 PA budget & Fundraisers
o Upcoming events:

Thursday, June 5 – Chancellor’s Day – No School
-
Friday, June 6 – Clerical Day – No School
-
Wednesday, June 11 – Bake Sale
-
Wednesday, June 18 – Talent Show at 6:15 PM
