Coyote Family Update

Image
After a warm week, Fall has definitely arrived at Cordelia Hills. Have a great week and thanks for allowing us the chance to spend so much time with your amazing children! Top Highlights • Trunk or Treat was a smashing success. Hundreds of children and community members made the trek thru the Spooky Route. A special thanks to Dina and Travis, the many staff members and parents, and to the PTA for your support of the event. I loved seeing the many costumes and smiles! • Fall Testing Wraps Up Fall District testing, including MAP and GATE testing has wrapped up. Our students put in a ton of work. MAP scores show our school to be ranked in the top echelon of K-5 schools in the District. I believe that every student can be successful and can meet growth expectations. Despite our scores, we still have students that need our support and attention if they are going to meet growth goals. We will share data with you at upcoming report card conferences.  • Coyote Color Run Cam

Welcome back, Coyote Families! We are so excited and grateful that school is back in session. We know this was a traumatic week for many students, families, and staff members and we know that getting back into class will provide a much needed return to routine for everyone. I especially appreciate that many families that were able to contribute time, supplies, and money to the fire relief and fire fighting efforts. I know the greater Solano and Bay Area community appreciates it. Below is information regarding information and upcoming events over the next the few weeks. As always, contact me with any questions or needs. 1. Student Health and Fire Related FAQs:   We are monitoring air quality and will respond accordingly. It is currently rated as moderate and students are allowed to be outside for normal activities, barring any changes during school hours. We have mental health assistance on-site should any student need assistance in coping with fire related issues. Additionally, s
