Volunteer Packet Update
At this point, Dr. Walls has given permission for emergency volunteers to support work in the Action Center and at yard duty (when staffing is short) with his approval. Volunteers must have paperwork signed by the principal, fingerprint and background check, current TB, and proof of COVID vaccination. All paperwork needs to be returned to Jenci at jenci-smith@scusd.edu. Links are below.

El día de los niños/El día de los libros
El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day), commonly known as Día, is a celebration every day of children, families, and reading that culminates yearly on April 30. The celebration emphasizes the importance of literacy for children of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds. We are seeking two or three volunteers, ideally organized volunteers who can plan online, outside of work hours. They will work closely with PTSO President Mairead Reinhard and IB Coordinator Kelly Cordero on these efforts in the coming months. Please reach out if you are interested!
Yearbook
Ana Tintocalis Salcedo volunteered to be Caleb’s Yearbook Coordinator and Editor this year. Yearbook preorders will start at $20 dollars this year as part of a Fall Season Special. The price goes up to $30 in the new year. All yearbook sales will be online via Jostens, the company that produces the yearbook. Parents will still be able to place tribute ads and request personalization. Similar to last year, she’s encouraging families to submit their own photos via a public Google Drive. Lastly, yearbook revenue typically covers the cost of production and allows for a deposit for the yearbook in the following year. She’s open to ideas of how we can make the yearbook more of a revenue maker for the PTSO.
