Bobcats, as you know, this has been a very challenging year for many of our families. Our wonderful school secretary, Ms Anna, has restarted our charitable campaign. We encourage you to check it out and donate if you can. All the money raised will go directly to our Bobcat families in need. If you or your family are in need in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out to the PTA or school administration. We are a family, and we take care of each other. https://www.gofundme.com/f/helping-those-in-need-who-attend

Calling all new families and kindergarten students-to-be!

Bobcats, today's the day! If you haven't already voted by mail or in early voting, it's time to go to the polls! Voting is SO easy in California! Even if you haven't registered, you can do same-day conditional registration. See this link for more info! https://www.sos.ca.gov/elec/voter-registration/same-day-reg If you need to know your polling place, or have any questions, call 1-800-345-VOTE (or 1-800-345-VOTA for Spanish).... And as always your PTA is here to help: a ride to the polls? Phone lines above busy and you have questions? Please email us at [email protected]! We want YOU to make your voice heard, and show our students the importance of this civic duty.

Hey Bobcats - another important way you can support your school this year is by filling out your 2020 Census! It takes just minutes, is safe and secure, and can be done online or by phone, in many different languages. The Census is for everyone, no matter your age, immigration status, or housing situation. https://2020census.gov/en.html Getting an accurate Census count means getting the funding we need for our neighborhoods, services, and especially, our schools. California and the Bay Area in particular has a hard-to-count population, with many non-English speakers, multi-generational households, families in unstable housing, etc. Let's work together to make sure the final Census push includes ALL Bobcats and their families! Go to https://2020census.gov/en.html today!!
