Coyote Connection

Dear Families,

This week, we welcomed a new month! We finished October strong with our Boo Bash last Friday night. The weather was wonderful, making it the perfect event to celebrate Halloween. A huge thank you to Zaira Orin, Krystal Madrid, Pamela Gergy, Jacqueline Fonseca, Lyly Mai, Silvia Estrada Gamez, and Yesenia Martinez for all their help organizing vendors, making games, and setting up for the event. I also want to extend my appreciation to all the other parents who volunteered their time before, during, or after the Boo Bash. Finally, a big shout-out to the Del Lago Key Club and Rincon student volunteers—we really couldn't do it without their help. These events are only possible with the help from parent volunteers!

We are excited to host our next family event on Friday, November 13th at 5:30 p.m. We will have an outdoor movie night in our courtyard. Families are welcome to bring a picnic dinner, and we'll provide popcorn and hot cocoa! Before we make a selection, we ask families to complete this short survey and vote for their top movie choice:

As a reminder, there is no school on Wednesday, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day.

Have a great weekend,
Dr. Megan Loh
Principal

We love having our family volunteers on campus! Whether you're helping out in a classroom, leading a FAVE lesson, or participating in a school-wide activity, we enjoy partnering with you in your child's education. If you are visiting our campus, please keep the following expectations in mind:

Check in and out at the office: All visitors must sign in at the front office before entering campus and sign out when leaving. This applies to all school-wide events, including performances and assemblies.
Wear a visible Visitor’s Pass: Please make sure your pass is clearly displayed at all times while on campus.
Stay on the sidewalks: We work hard to teach our students to only use the sidewalks when walking around campus, and we ask that all families follow that same guideline.
Close gates behind you: For student safety, please make sure all gates are securely closed after entering or exiting. (Note: The gate by the library does not close on its own.)
Use the office restroom: All visitors must use the restroom located in the front office.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a safe, positive environment for all students!

Please join us in supporting our local EUSD community through Project Success! Reidy Creek will be hosting a Canned Food Drive from November 16th–21st. We’re hoping to collect non-expired canned goods to help families in need this season.

Donations can be dropped off in the bus loop, in front of the library, or in the front office. Thank you for your generosity and support!.

Hello Reidy Creek Families!

Field Trip Chaperone Reminders:
As field trips are in full swing, please keep in mind that EUSD has changed their Volunteer policies this school year and any parent/ guardian wanting to attend a field trip as a chaperone will need to be cleared as a Level 1 volunteer, which requires providing negative TB test results (dated within the last 60 days). All updated information can be found on our District website (opens in a new tab).

Giving Tree coming soon...
It is that time again to start thinking about Reidy Creek’s annual Giving Tree. The Giving Tree will officially be up on Friday, November 13th. More details to come next week.

Supporting Families During the Holiday Season:
As we go into the holiday season, there may be some families facing food, housing or other uncertainties. One of the Family Liaison’s roles is to connect families to community resources, like affordable internet, housing and food resources.

Below are a few local food resources, but please do not hesitate to reach out to the school and ask for Yesenia Martinez for other resources.

Lost & Found
Our Lost and Found has been placed out in front of the school. We want to make sure these items get back to their rightful owners before we leave for Thanksgiving Break. Please stop by the Lost and Found before or after school to check for: Jackets and sweatshirts, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc. Anything left after Friday, November 20th will be donated.
