FunRun

Las Lomitas - La Entrada Fun Run
2014 - SATURDAY, MAY 17th

Bring your entire family and join the Foundation's 3rd annual Fun Run starting at 8:30 a.m. from the Las Lomitas Kindergarten playground.  Three separate run/walk events will be held: 
  • Short course on the Las Lomitas playground for the youngest participants
  • Medium-distance road course (1 mile) on the beautiful streets of Atherton
  • 5K run/walk: a flat and fast road course through the beautiful backstreets of Atherton

The events aren't just for runners: walkers and those pushing strollers are welcome too. Pre- register online until May 15th.  Want to help with this FUN event? We are in need of volunteers to help on race day (time keepers, food/drink tables, traffic/course monitors, etc.). If you are interested, please contact Josie Tang ([email protected]).

We are excited that this year Las Lomitas will be hosting Grandparent's Day on May 23rd.  

 

We hope that you have mailed the invitations to your children's grandparents so that they can RSVP and join the festivities.  You can also RSVP for them by clicking here.  The RSVP deadline is the end of April, or when we reach 450 registered grandparents, which ever is earlier.  Because space is strictly limited and because each grandparent has his or her own schedule for the day, grandparents must register online to attend the event. 

 

We sincerely regret that Grandparent's Day is limited to grandparents only; however, parents, nannies, aunts, uncles and family friends are welcome to participate by volunteering for the event.  We could really use your help to make the event a success!

 

Hurry and sign-up to volunteer today - it will be a fun and exciting morning, with wonderful memories in the making! Click here to volunteer now.

Sequoia Union Bond

PLEASE JOIN THE LAS LOMITAS PTA IN SUPPORT OF "CITIZENS FOR SEQUOIA UNION HIGH SCHOOL - YES ON A" - The Sequoia Union High School District has a bond up for vote on the Tuesday, June 3 election. The district's great high schools have drawn families to its communities, causing a surge in student enrollment. Enrollment has increased by 20% over the last 12 years and is expected to grow another 20% in the next 7 years. Measure A will provide additional classrooms and labs, as well as updated technology to help the district continue its excellent academic programs as student enrollment grows. Please visit the Yes on A website at www.greatsequoiahighschools.org to learn about Measure A and how you can help. If you have additional questions about Yes on A, please email Jennifer Le at [email protected].
From the Principal

Dear Las Lomitas Families,

 

Your child may have come home this week with great news about new landscaping by Cano Hall. The old dirt hillside was transformed over spring break and now has green grass and trees growing. The work was planned and completed under the direction of Jimmy Hoffman, a former Las Lomitas student, as his Eagle Scout project. Jimmy approached me last year to share his desire to "give back" something to our school. As his former kindergarten teacher, I was touched by his sincere interest in doing something to enhance our learning environment. Joyce Massaro, MOT Director, and Manuel Gallegos, school gardener, worked closely with Jimmy and his crew. Several local companies donated materials for the project, including AAA Rentals, Horizon Landscaping, Wegman's Nursery and the Southbay Waste Management Authority. Several volunteers, including former Las Lomitas/La Entrada students, also assisted: Jim and Jordan Long, Trevor Kelly, Colin Lehr and William Kilmond. This community service project is a wonderful example of what can happen at Las Lomitas. Everyone can make a difference!

 

Are any of you are interested in serving on our School Site Council next year?   The School Site Council is a group of faculty and parent representatives who meet over the course of the year to address areas of program quality under the School Based Coordinated Program. The Council's primary responsibilities are to review and monitor our Single Plan for Student Achievement and School Improvement Program budget.  Each member serves for two years. We meet once a month on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:30. This year's faculty representatives are Anna Pong (K), Michelle Donecho (1st), Kristy Hyres (2nd), Nikki Montre (3rd) and Sue Sartor (Principal). Parent representatives are Artis Montague, Laurie Sobel, Eric Ver Ploeg, Jen Le and Jung Eun Lee.

If you are interested in joining this group of dedicated parents and educators who monitor the school plan, make sure the budget supports the plan and care deeply about children and education, please join us. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to work with and learn from teachers and the administration.

If you would like to serve on the School Site Council or learn more about it, please contact me at 854-5900 ext.261 or by email at [email protected].

 

Until next time,

 

Sue Sartor

Principal

Information about Attendance

Students are expected to be at school unless they are ill, or if the parent reports that they will miss school due to an unavoidable family matter (funeral/wedding) or medical appointment.

 

Education Code Section 48260 defines a student as truant if he/she has an "unexcused absence of more than 30 minutes on three (3) different days or more." If your child is regularly late to school, or misses school due to travel, he/she will be considered truant. If an absence is not reported to the school on the day of the absence, it is also considered unexcused, even if the child is sick.


Students who have good attendance records consistently do better in school! Please help us keep our student attendance high by taking family vacations during our scheduled holiday breaks.

Nice Lice Advice - 75% of the mothers who bring their children into Honeycombers also have lice.  My four daughters had lice twice, but I never got them, even though the girls were sleeping with me from time to time and we snuggled at bedtime.  We've asked our customers and it seems like the most likely culprit in those cases where the mom gets lice is sharing combs or brushes.  It seems so easy to just grab your brush from your purse and run it through your little one's head... but try to resist the urge.  Keep your brush, comb and hair accessories high up out of children's reach, and invest in a brush for each child.  Even if lice does come into your life, hopefully it will skip you.  Brought to you by Honeycombers Lice Advice & Treatment Salon in downtown Menlo Park.  Come by to purchase all-natural lice prevention and treatment products to treat your children for lice yourself at home.  Or call 1.888.863.2005 to book an appointment to have your children checked, and if needed, treated for lice by our friendly Combers.  We offer appointments 7 days a week in our bright, clean salon or in the privacy of your own home.   Honeycombers - The Sweetest Way to be Treated
