NatureBridge: February 7 to 12
In about two weeks, our 7th and 8th graders will be at Yosemite National Park for a very memorable outdoor education and bonding experience.
Please make sure your child has the supplies on the supply list for this weeklong program. Having the appropriate clothes for the weather will make the week much more enjoyable. Supply lists are available from Mr. Young if you need another copy.

Summer School 2016 is now Scheduled
We believe that summer is a great opportunity to engage children in activities that enrich their academic foundation and keep them involved and interested in learning. Therefore, we will offer one five-week academic session this summer. The dates are June 20 to July 22.
Brochures and registration will be available in February. We hope you will be able to use this program, as it is a worthwhile experience for any child. Also, we appreciate you letting your friends know of this program since it is open to students in any school.

Classrooms are all working with Ms. Elisabeth on their group production… the theme this year is “Outer Space”. Individual students can audition during class time next month.

Visitors are in the School
Applicants for next year in grades 1 through 8 are coming in to spend a day in a classroom. Kittredge is designed to have openings for new transfer students in 6th grade while all other grades are filled if space is available. Word of mouth has always been our best advertising, so if you know of any families looking for a strong academic yet nurturing environment, please have them call us.

In Preparation for Yosemite
Over the next two weeks, the 7th and 8th grade classes will have a chance to break in their hiking boots and perfect their ice skating moves. This Thursday the classes will embark on an all-day hike to Land’s End and next Thursday they will go to Yerba Buena ice skating rink. Please make sure your child brings a hearty lunch and a water bottle along with any other gear they need.
