August, 2011

Dear Cabrillo Families:

Early in August I saw a Cabrillo student at a store and she told me she was “already ready for school to start!”  The mom of this incoming second grader affirmed, “she really is ready, she loves to learn!” We are so fortunate that our Cabrillo teachers’ love of teaching is matched by our Cabrillo students’ love of learning.

Welcome to a new school year at Cabrillo, where we grow and learn together.  It is a pleasure to welcome back our many returning families, and also to welcome our new students and parents who are joining our Cabrillo community.  Together we create a caring and nurturing environment for children to grow and learn.

Please review the attached flyers that address your needs to ensure a smooth start of school:

1) Time schedules and entrance and dismissal procedures for BOOST Pre-School, Kindergarten, and 1st and 2nd grade.

2) Cabrillo School Valet Service

3) The list of supplies each student should have to begin the 2011-2012 school year.
