We’re just around the corner from our Thanksgiving break, and the holiday spirit is in the air! As we head into this week, take a look at the events below to stay informed. Let’s make it a fantastic week together before we all enjoy some well-deserved rest and time with family!

Attendance - As the holiday season approaches, please let the office know as soon as possible if your child will be absent for any planned time off before the break. To report an absence, simply call us at 760-432-2462 or email juniperenrollment@eusd.org with your child's name, grade, and the expected dates of absence. Thank you for your cooperation!

Library Books - Parents, did you know you can check out books from our school library to enjoy with your children? We offer a wonderful selection of books, including options in both English and Spanish. You’re welcome to check out books before or after school—just stop by the office to get a pass. This is a great way to encourage reading at home, and we’re happy to support you in sharing stories with your family!

Canned Food Drive - We’re excited to kick off our Canned Food Drive on November 18! This is a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community and help families in need during the holiday season. We kindly ask that all donated items be new, sealed, and not expired to ensure they are safe and fresh for those who receive them. Please consider donating canned goods and non-perishable items. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference! Let’s work together to make this a season of giving and kindness. Thank you for supporting our Canned Food Drive!

Hearing & Vision Screening - On November 19th, students in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th grade will participate in hearing and vision screenings. These screenings play an essential role in helping us support your child's learning and growth. Please ensure your child is present on this day to take advantage of this important opportunity. Thank you for your support in promoting our students' health and success!

Fire Drill - Our school will be conducting a fire drill on Wednesday, November 20th, at 9:50 a.m. This drill is an essential part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and preparedness of all students and staff. Please make sure your child arrives on time, as we’ll be practicing important safety procedures together. Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a safe school environment!

Minimum Day - Friday, November 22nd, will be a minimum day for TK–5th grade. Students in these grades will be dismissed at 12:10 pm. State preschool will be released at their regular time. Please plan accordingly for pickup. Thank you.

Parent Workshop - You’re invited to join us for a Family Workshop on Stress Management and Mindfulness, taking place on Monday, November 18th, from 8:30 to 9:30 am in the auditorium.

Stuffed Animal Day - Exciting news from ASB! Friday, November 22nd, is Stuffed Animal Day! Students are invited to bring a favorite stuffed animal to school, but stuffed animals must fit in their backpacks. If it’s bigger, it can’t be brought to school. We can’t wait to see all the adorable stuffed friends!
