WOW! It is absolutely fabulous to have our

students back on campus. The phased-in returns

were incredibly successful and allowed us to better

support our youngest children. However, by their

second day, they were telling us that they had it all

figured out and didn’t need our help

There are so many people who contributed to

making reopening such a success. Our teachers

worked very hard preparing their classrooms and

creating videos/slides for you to learn about their

specific procedures and processes. Mr. Mario, our

custodian, laid decals, spray painted and put up

signage to ensure our campus was safe and that

students had markers to help them find their way.

Mrs. Hung and Ms. Susie collaborated with

families so that everyone felt prepared for the

return and Mrs. Contreras organized the gate

monitors and provided tech support to parents

needing assistance at arrivals and dismissals.

Then there was all of you…without your support,

our reopening would not have been nearly as

successful. By downloading the Frontline and

Pikmykids apps ahead of time, you made it so that

the arrivals and dismissals were as quick and

seamless as possible. Thank you!

Bear Facts

Castro Valley Elementary aprecia la dedicación de los miembros de la Junta de Directores: Gary Howard, Dot Theodore, Lavender Lee Whitaker, Dolly Adams, Michael Kusiak y Parvin Ahmadi, Superintendente

Los padres/guardianes están bienvenidos a asistir a las reuniones de la Junta. Busque en www.cv.k12.ca.us la fecha de la próxima reunión.

¡WOW! Es absolutamente fabuloso tener a nuestros

estudiantes de regreso en el campus. El regreso en

etapas fue increíblemente exitoso y nos permitio

brindar un mejor apoyo a nuestros ninos más

pequeños. Sin embargo, en su segundo día, nos

dijeron que lo entendian todo y ya no necesitaban

nuestra ayuda

Hay tanta gente que contribuyó a que la reapertura

fuera un éxito. Nuestros maestros trabajaron muy

duro preparando sus salones y creando videos /

diapositivas para que usted aprendiera sobre sus

procedimientos y procesos específicos. Mr. Mario,

nuestro conserje, colocó calcomanías, pintó con

aerosol y colocó letreros para garantizar que nuestro

campus fuera seguro y que los estudiantes tuvieran

marcadores para ayudarlos a encontrar su camino.

Mrs. Hung y Ms. Susie colaboraron con las familias

para que todos se sintieran preparados para el

regreso y Mrs. Contreras organizó los monitores de

las entradas y brindó apoyo técnico a los padres que

necesitaban asistencia en las llegadas y salidas. Y

luego estan todos ustedes ... sin su apoyo, nuestra

reapertura no habría sido tan exitosa. Al descargar

las aplicaciones Frontline y Pikmykid con

anticipación, ayudaorn a que las llegadas y salidas

fueran lo más rápidas y fluidas posible. ¡Gracias!

¡Estoy muy emocionada de anunciar que el personal

ha elegido a Mrs. Limnios como la Maestra del

año 2020-21 CVE! Mrs. Limnios comenzó su carrera

en CVE hace 21 años y ha estado con nosotros

desde entonces. Ella ha enseñado primero y

segundo grado y ha estado en kindergarten durante

los últimos 12 años. Durante este tiempo, también se

ha desempeñado en muchos comités de liderazgo

del distrito y de la escuela. Somos muy afortunados

de tener a Mrs. Limnios como parte de nuestra

familia de CVE.

Nuestro equipo de PBIS ha creado una matriz de

código Bear para el aprendizaje híbrido. Haga clic

aquí para ver cómo hemos combinado nuestras

expectativas de comportamiento del Código BEAR

(Ser Seguro, Participar en el Aprendizaje, Actuar

con Responsabilidad, Respetarse a sí mismo y a

los demás) con los protocolos de seguridad de

COVID.

Las pruebas CAASPP comienzan la semana del

19 de abril para nuestros estudiantes de 3er a 5to

grado. Si desea eximir a su hijo de tomar las

pruebas estatales obligatorias, envíeme un correo

electrónico o una carta firmada antes del lunes 12

de abril. Recomendamos que los estudiantes

tomen las pruebas ya que recibimos datos valiosos

sobre cada estudiante a partir de los resultados.

Debido a que la prueba debe administrarse usando

un navegador de prueba seguro, los estudiantes

deberán usar Chromebooks distribuidos por el

distrito para las evaluaciones CAASPP. Si su hijo

no tiene un Chromebook del distrito, notifique a

la oficina lo antes posible para que podamos

conseguirle uno.

Este año escolar tenemos unas vacaciones de

primavera más largas de lo normal. Seran del 1 al

11 de abril y los estudiantes regresan el lunes 12

de abril. ¡Espero que puedan tener un merecido

descanso divertido y relajante!

Saludos, Mrs. Sklut

address is [email protected] Both forms are required.

Have a fantastic spring break. Please remember to follow protocol if you travel during break!

CVE PATA would like to invite you to participate in our inaugural Bears About Town event, April 30th through May 10th. As county protocols prevent us from our tradi-

tional Walk-A-Thon festivities, we encourage our CVE community to get out and about in a socially distant friendly manner while offering our students a chance for creative fun. Each family will be provided a map of stops to visit featuring many of

the great spots that Castro Valley has to offer.

Like our past walk-a-thon events, this year we plan to use 99pledges. You will be able to reach out to family and friends electronically. If you would like to participate in using this easy application to request donations from family and friends, please provide your approval by March 17th and in-

clude the following in formation in the Google form below:

99 Pledges Google Form https://forms.gle/JBxZG95X6vuW4VwF7
