Potrero Elementary Dual Language Academy

Halloween at Potrero next week! Students may wear costumes next Thursday for the Red group and Friday for the Gold group! Do not bring costume accessories or costume masks. Teachers may have Halloween parties with store bought individually wrapped items. Contact teachers for more information!

We had a great day today with our Red Group! Looking forward to our Gold Group tomorrow!

Our Hybrid model starts tomorrow! We are welcoming back our Red group of students (Last names A-J)! We can't wait to see our students!! Reminder - student drop off is in a drive through format only. Do not get out of your cars and walk students to the gate. The gates open at 8:45am. Students need to be wearing a mask or they won't be allowed in the gates. If you have water or tissue donations you can bring those to the office!

Reminder...tomorrow is our Superhero dress up day!!

Our next dress up day is this Friday! It is Superhero Day! Dress up as your favorite superhero or make up a Superhero!

As our students have returned to school and as messages on public safety, public health, and public policy have become more and more politicized, the work of reopening schools has become much more challenging especially for larger urban districts where our most socio-economically disadvantaged families are. It’s hard to get a straight answer to questions like: 1. How likely are children to catch and transmit Covid-19 at school?... 2. Is it safe for school employees to be in close proximity to students? 3. Should children play together at recess and should they wear masks all the time? 4. Do schools spread the virus to the wider community? Why don’t all school districts open and use the same safety policies? Join the esteemed panel of local San Diego County Public Officials and Medical Experts for an hour of current information, data, and facts as they relate to our students and school communities.
