Principal’s Message: 

Dear Imai Families,

 

Our CSMA concerts are coming up soon. Our students have been working hard to learn the songs and they can’t wait to share them with you. Please remember that you need to give yourself enough time to check in the office (bring your picture ID) before heading towards the MUR or the classroom (TK only). . 

 

Our upper grade students are going to be starting CAASPP (state assessment) after spring break. The Principal’s Coffee on 3/28 at 8:15AM (in person in the staff room) will go over how to best prepare your child for the test and resources that you can use at home. Please plan on attending. 

 

We still need more presenters for our Celebrating Women’s Voices Assembly. This assembly depends solely on parent volunteers in order for it to be successful. Celebrating Women’s Voices Assembly- 3/24 8:30-10 AM. 

 

Important dates: 

No school on 3/21

Open House 3/27

Principal’s Coffee 3/28

 

Have a wonderful rest of the week.
