K-3 go to the Pumpkin Patch
This Thursday, October 12, our K-3rd graders will go on a field trip to the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch! This fall field trip is one of our favorites, and we can't wait to hear about all the fun when they return. Students should wear comfortable walking shoes, layers, sun protection, and should bring a hearty lunch and a water bottle. Get ready for a day of fun!
Green Energy Project
Green Energy Challenge is BACK at Kittredge this year by popular demand! This innovative, after-school, hands-on educational program teaches kids about climate change and energy science (click here for a brief video). This program, aimed at grades 3-7, will be taught by Kittredge alumni, Jacob and Ari Bushler, and other student educators from St. Ignatius College Preparatory. The previous courses taught at Kittredge were enthusiastically received by both kids and parents, so space will be limited. Please CLICK HERE to fill out a Green Energy Challenge Interest Form for your student.
Log On, Log Off.
This is a gentle reminder to our families to check in with your child about shared devices. Computers at school are shared devices and we encourage our students to log out after each session. You can support this practice by logging in and out of home devices too. We thank you for your help as we teach our students healthy technology practices.
