    Lost and Found Overflowing

    Are you missing a jacket or sweatshirt?  It is probably in the lost and found.  Make sure to check it before the last day of school.  Anything left after that will be donated to charity.

     

    Spring Music Concerts

    Well done, 4th and 5th graders.  You sounded great in the concert on Wednesday night.  5th graders who are continuing with music next year, we cannot wait to see how you continue to grow.  4th graders, we are excited to see which instrument you choose for next year and see you perform.  

     

    Yearbooks

    Unfortunately, there was a problem with our yearbook order and the company has notified us that the shipment got postponed to 6/5.  We are working with them to get it rushed and to us before next Friday.  However, we will not know if that is possible until next week.  If we end up not getting our yearbooks until 6/5, we will notify you about when you can come get them from the office.  We are sorry about this. We know the yearbooks are a great celebratory item for the end of the year and we want time for students to sign each other’s yearbooks.   We are doing all we can to get them rushed to us so the students can get them before last day of school.  

     

    PTO Message

    Thank you for such a great year.  We greatly appreciate everyone help in making Tular such a great school and community to be a part of.  We are looking forward to next year and hope you all have a great summer.

    Good Afternoon Bobcat Families,

     

    I want to say thank you, again, to all of you who volunteered this year at Tularcitos.   We cannot do what we do without you.   Thank you to all of you who volunteered in the classrooms, on field trips, at the Fall Festival, Stampede, No Screens Week, Reading Week, Talent Show, Yearbook, Spirit Wear, Bucks for Bobcats, Veterans Day Fun Run, Movie Nights, Family Dance, hospitality, and to all of our Room Parents.  Thank you!   And I especially want to thank Gina Nucci, our PTO president for the hundreds of hours she put in this year behind the scenes to make multiple events happen, and Lauren Collins, our PTO treasurer for the past six years, for the thousands of hours and always being on top of everything and making sure our PTO runs smoothly.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

     

    Open House

    It was so much fun to see everyone at Open House. I hope you enjoyed the evening and that your children showed you some appreciation as well for all the support you provide them each day.  Thank you, parents, for all you do.  Education starts in the home.  Thank you for sending them to school ready to learn and supporting what they are learning at school at home as well. 

     

    Special Olympics

    Congratulations to the Bobcat students who participated in the Special Olympics today at Seaside High School. It would not have been possible without Mrs. Williams, one of our Special Education teachers, and our wonderful special education support staff.  Additionally, thank you to our students who went along to cheer on our team and assist the participating students.  Way to go Team Tular!

  • Principal's Bobcat Brief

    Posted by Kristen Bartoli on 5/8/2023 7:00:00 AM

    Happy Cinco de Mayo Bobcat Families,

     

    It is hard to know how to respond to some of the things we are seeing on social media related to what happened recently.  As all of you know, our staff gives all they have on a daily basis and care for every one of our students like they are our own kids.  What happened recently shook us as well and we are just as concerned.   What happened was not the result of anything our staff did wrong, but did show us a hole in our system we need to fix.  That is something that is on me as the principal and I am sorry that hole existed.   We have already addressed this by adding in better accountability after recess times, and are continuing the discussion to improve our system and make sure there are no other holes.  If you have any questions about things or holes that you have seen in our system that you think we can improve, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

     

    Next week is staff appreciation week.  Please make sure our staff knows how much you appreciate them.

    PTO Message

    Thank you to everyone who attended our last PTO meeting. At the meeting we elected next year’s executive board: President: Beth Henshaw, VP: Ryann Williams, Secretary: Luna Adamo, Treasurer: Lauren Heisinger, Room Parent Liaison: Kristin Rianda.

     

    We want to especially thank our current outgoing executive board members, Gina Nucci and Lauren Collins, both of whom have given more hours than any of us even know to our PTO and school over their time on the board.  Thank you, Gina and Lauren, for all of your dedication, love, and time to making our school a better place for everyone.

     

    The Tularcitos Art Show is back!  

    We are excited to put on our Tularcitos Art Show during Open House again this year.  To get everything ready we are looking for at least one parent from each class to help with the matting and hanging of their classes work.  We are limited on days to work so please come anytime (even if it's just an hour) on Wednesday, May 10 and/or Thursday, May 11.  We will be working in Bobcat Hall from 9:00 to 3:00 on both days.

    What does this involve you ask?  One does not have to be an artist.  The job is simply taking one child's art work at a time, pasting a mat to the back, adding a name tag, and pinning it to a display board on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 16.  That's it!  Many hands make light work so thank you in advance for your time and energy.  

    Thank you,

    Mrs. Woodward

    State Testing for 3rd-5th Grade Students

    3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be taking the state-wide Smarter Balanced Assessment on a few different days over the next two weeks of 5/1-5/12 in the morning.  While we do not make a big deal about this testing, we do want to make sure our students can do their best.  During these weeks, please do not schedule appointments during the morning and make sure the students get a good night’s sleep, eat a nutritious breakfast, and come with a healthy snack (as they should every day) so students’ brains are well fueled and ready to do their best.  While we want all of our students to take this test so they can show everything they know (and the state requires that we test at least 95% of our students), if there is a reason you would not like your student to take the state testing, please email Mr Peterson, and we can excuse them.  (For those students who do not take the test, they will sit in their classroom and work on silent activities while the other students take the test.)

    Zero Waste Week recap

    We had a great zero waste week capped off with a wonderful assembly by our 5th graders and Green Team (Student Environmental Leadership Team).  They were able to sing about being upstanding citizens and teach our students about the importance of reducing, reducing, and recycling at school and at home.  When we all do our small part, together we make a big difference.  Please ask your child about their biggest takeaway from the week and assembly.

    Parent Input form for Next Year’s Class Placement

    At the end of each year, we work as a staff to establish classes that are balanced for next year.  When making class placement decisions, we take into account a variety of factors to achieve the best balance possible. The following factors are considered: 

    • Each student’s academic status, special needs, interests, behavior, and motivation; 
    • Boy/girl ratio; 
    • Academic balance of high, medium and low achieving students; 
    • Styles of individual teachers; 
    • Class size balance among classes at each grade level.

    Parents/Guardians who would like to give input about their child’s placement may write a request for a particular learning environment (e.g. learning style, personality attributes, classroom physical environment, educational needs, etc.) by completing the Electronic Class Placement Parent Input Form below.   All forms must be submitted by Friday, May 5th.  No late forms will be accepted.  Additionally, since some teachers change grade levels year to year, please do not write a request for a specific teacher. If a form is turned in with a teacher's name as a particular request, it will be discarded and not considered. Use the following link to submit your parent input form: https://forms.gle/LCWjU1aQfpVnkYgU8

     

    New School Lunch Menu

    Attached is the new snack and lunch menu for the rest of the year.  Make sure to check it out so you know when your child would want snack or lunch.  As a reminder, snack and lunch are offered free at school for whenever your child wants or needs it.

    New School Lunch Menu

    Attached is the new snack and lunch menu for the rest of the year.  Make sure to check it out so you know when your child would want snack or lunch.  As a reminder, snack and lunch are offered free at school for whenever your child wants or needs it.

     

    Zero Waste Week 4/24-4/28

    We will be holding a Zero Waste Week 4/24-4/28.  Over the weekend we are encouraging families to do a family clean-up time at a local park, beach, or around their neighborhood for Earth Day.   During the week, and every day, we want all students to pack lunches with reusable containers and reduce our waste as much as possible.  We will also be giving challenges to students for ways they can take care of our environment at school and home.  Then, on 4/28, we will be having an assembly about citizenship and caring for our environment.  Attached is a flier for how to get involved in the community cleanup over the weekend.

    Returning Students Registration

    Our district sent out information about residency verification for next year for returning students.  I wanted to make sure people knew that, if you are returning to Tular next year, you do not need to do anything right now.  You will need to do your residency verification in July when you complete your data confirmation. So be on the lookout for a communication in July from CUSD about data confirmation.

     

    Love and Logic Parenting Course

    The Love and Logic Parenting course will meet on Wednesdays from 4:30-6:00 in the River School library. The class format is primarily video based with teaching and anecdotes from the curriculum founders, as well as workbook-based activities for reading and group discussion. The primary skills are: neutralizing arguments, responding with empathy, setting limits, avoiding power struggles, coaching our kids to be independent problem solvers, and handling chores/household contributions. If you have any questions, please contact Tular’s social worker, Ashley Robinson at arobinson@carmelunified.org. Love and Logic has 5 more sessions: April 19th, April 26th, May 3rd, May 10th, and May 17th.

Kinder, 1st and 2nd grade will be starting their dance demos at 5:30 and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will start their dance demos at 6:30.   We changed things up this year and all students learned square and line dances so it will be a Ho Down for all ages.   This is an event that you don’t want to miss!

    Reading At Home

    While Reading and No Screens Week is over, I hope that families will continue to find ways of promoting reading and limiting screen time in your home.  Next to family mealtime, having that reading time set aside for kids, and adults, in your house is vital to your child’s success in school.  This is especially true if your child is struggling to read.  I was in a meeting with Mrs. Weist recently and she had a great analogy for reading time in the home.  She said improving your reading is like brushing your teeth (stay with me here). You can’t ignore it through the week and then make it up on the weekend. In order for students to become better readers, like effectively brushing your teeth, you have to do it daily.  I hope that all of our families have that daily time set aside for your students to read (or be read to).
