Greetings CDA Family,

We thank our Booster Club and parent volunteers for organizing our surprise TWOS-Day celebration this 2-22-22.  Students enjoyed two pizzas and a dance party celebration at our lunch area.  Our staff had so much fun putting on dance moves with all the students.  Let’s keep the joy, laughter, and celebrate ourselves for accomplishing great things in the midst of all the challenges we have faced in the pandemic.  I am positive that things will continue to move in the right direction.  

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Misty Srichandr in Mr. Rothschild’s third grade class.  Misty is the winner of the 2022 Rising Star Legendary Woman Artist of Venice Awards.  Established in 2018 in honor of Women’s History Month, this award recognizes the contribution of women to the Arts and their profound impact on the fabric of our society.

Positive Behavior Expectations

Please reinforce our School Wide Positive Behavior Expectations by reviewing this document here with your child on a regular basis.  I want to highlight the expectation that students may not bring gum, candy, play weapons, electronic devices, or toys to school.  Students must use body control.  Fighting or “play fighting” are not allowed.

Traffic during pick up and drop off

Please continue to support traffic safety during pick up and drop off at both Coeur d’Alene and Garfield sides of the school.  We continue to contact LADOT traffic control support to discourage traffic violations.

We are looking forward to the assembly presentation by Mr. R’s 3rd grade class this Monday at 8:30am via Zoom Meeting ID: 878 9003 7137 All parents are encouraged to participate.
