 Principal's Message

Dear Cheetah Community,

Second trimester report cards were sent home by email on Friday, March 7th. If you did not receive your student’s report card, please reach out to the office.

 

PTA Appreciation

We are so grateful for our PTA and all they do for our school community! From supporting classroom resources for teachers to building up the students’ knowledge and understanding of the world through supporting field trips, the PTA’s impact is enormous. If a PTA member approaches you to fill a place on the board for next year, please consider saying Yes. You will be surrounded by a great group of people who will help you learn your role. Don’t be shy! The community that is built through our parent groups (PTA and ELAC) is a huge asset of Theuerkauf. The school and students need those groups to continue and thrive, so please get involved!

Thank you!

CAASPP Testing – Mark Your Calendars!

Just a reminder that our testing weeks are approaching and that it is a great idea to have your student in a good evening routine by then.
