Fwd: Fw: IMPORTANT: from Mrs. Stutzel

Please read the message below that I sent out on October 25th.....it is a reminder about tomorrow's pick up and drop off plan.

Thank you and Happy Halloween!

Mrs. Stutzel


 

Parents:

Please read the following about November 1^st procedures for dropping off and picking up your child.

The city will be paving Silver Arrow Drive from the entrance off Silver Spur Road.  They will also be repaving Longhill Drive that same day. 

So, please prepare for a difficult day of traffic around our school.  Let me suggest the following options for picking up and dropping off your child that day.

1.       Enter on Blackhorse Road and turn right onto Silver Arrow Dr.  Turn left onto Warrior and find a place to park.  Once you have parked, you may walk your child to the Flaming Arrow gate and release them onto campus.

2.       Enter on Blackhorse Road and turn right onto Silver Arrow Dr.  Turn left onto Warrior and then a left onto Browndeer and find a place to park.  Once you have parked, you may walk your child to the Flaming Arrow gate and release them onto campus.

3.       Enter on Beech Gate and follow the road up to where it will dead end because of paving.  Find a place to park and walk your child to the front of the school and release them onto campus.

4.       You will need to follow the same directions to pick up your child.  If you drop them off at  the front of the school, please plan with your child to meet  them at the front of the school.  If you dropped them off at the back of the school (Flaming Arrow entrance) plan on meeting them at the back of the school for pick up.

Please note OCTOBER 31^ST, BEECHGATE WILL BE CLOSED DUE TO REPAVING!  But we will still be having our Halloween Parade at 9:00am.  Please come join the fun!

I have attached a map for your convenience.

Thank you,

Gina Stutzel

This Week At Soleado 10/28-11/1

Hello everyone,

Happy Sunday Soleado Families!! It was a pleasure seeing so many Soleado Suns this morning at the Skechers Walk. 

This week is full of important events and activities that you should mark on your calendars.

Character Counts Pillar For The Month: Caring.

 
The Character Counts Coalition uses the color red to symbolize the pillar of Caring. 
This month our students will be focusing on the pillar of Caring.  There are two main ideas that apply to the pillar of caring.

• Concern for others: Show compassion and empathy. Be kind, loving and considerate in your actions. Be grateful for the things people do for you. Forgive the shortcomings of others. Don’t be mean or cruel to others. Be sensitive of other's feelings. 
• Compassion: Children can learn that people should be considerate and caring. Instead of ignoring hurt, confusion, anger and sadness they can learn that people should reach out to one another. As Plato quoted “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle!” we can never tell what difficulties another person is facing, and your kind word or action might make all the difference.

Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified District

Last Week to Sign Up!

Soleado Parents,

Our Soleado goal for Sketchers this year is $3,375. We are currently at $1,150, so we need 89 more walkers to sign up at $25/person ($2,225).

Last year, Sketchers gave PVPUSD $105,000 for our district's participation in the event! 
This is a great way to contribute to the PEF Goal for this year.
Remember, you do not need to be present at the walk to get a goody bag from Sketchers, which can be picked up at Equinox Palos Verdes before the event. 

Remember, it's only $25/person and registering virtually is still makes an impact, even if you can't attend the walk it will be fun!

Everyone who signs up should print out their confirmations and bring them with you to school on the Monday following the walk so that they can be a part of our Popsicle Party!!!  Everyone that registered will be invited to the party!

This is our last week to sign up, so click on the link below and let's have some fun walking together!!
