On No One Eats Alone Day at Roy Cloud, our students will participate in classroom lessons/discussions about inclusion, making new friends, and having empathy for others. They will make a pledge about how they can help others feel more included and we will use these pledges to create a No One Eats Alone art instillation to be displayed here at school.  

Students will also attend a fun lunchtime event coordinated by a group of our ASB students, where they will hopefully get to sit with someone new and make some new connections. Included in the lunch event is music, group games, and special themed lunch tables! Please be sure to ask your child this weekend about the activities they participated in and what they learned on this special day!

There are two current district surveys for parents to respond to. If you haven't already, please take the time to fill these out - your feedback is valuable.

To protect your child and his/her classmates, it is important that all children stay at home when ill, and be kept home until they are well.  

Please keep your child at home if your child has experienced: 

1. Diarrhea and/or vomiting in the past 24 hours

2. A fever of 100 or greater in the past 24 hours

Please call the school office when illness (or any other reason) necessitates your child being kept home. 

Thank you for your cooperation and support in our effort to keep all of our students healthy.

The most needed items are: canned tuna & chicken, peanut butter, meals in a can (soup, chili), low-sodium canned vegetables, canned fruit in its own juice or water, olive or canola oil, and low-sugar whole grain cereals. Please avoid foods packed in glass and sugar-sweetened drinks.

Return the order form to the school office by March 1st.

Our teachers received a grant from the San Mateo County Office of Education to purchase Hummingbird Robotics Kits, which were the beginning of the below "maker cart". Already many students in grades 3-5 have had the opportunity to tinker and engineer in the classroom. Kudos to 5th grade teacher Ms. Desiree Johnson for creating this opportunity for our students.

This year at the auction, we will be raising funds for social emotional programs such as conflict resolution, anti-bullying, mindfulness, empathy building, positive self-esteem and self-regulation. This is a topic so important to all of us. Let's get grandparents behind this and make it the largest Fund-A-Need contribution yet! Please ask grandparents to help. They can donate here . Contact Andrea Jones with questions.

You’ve been waiting to see what’s offered at this year’s Auction and now you can! Preview the online auction catalog of exciting items you can bid on. Be sure to look at the parties and teacher-sponsored activities too – there are lots of good times to be had!

Young Jane and Michael Banks have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Don't miss their adventures with everyone's favorite "practically perfect" nanny in Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins JR. Our "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" Roy Cloud students will be lighting up the stage. All shows include a special prelude concert performed by the kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade chorus. Tickets are available now online and will be sold at school in March, with 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales going directly to the Roy Cloud PTO. Enjoy the show!

This week the kindergarteners got their hands dirty and helped pull weeds and sift compost! Once we had a beautiful pile of freshly-sifted compost, the students gave back to the garden by sprinkling compost on their favorite plants.

The second graders continued their task to create a recipe for soil to send to planet Zog. The students tested their recipes using materials found in the garden and found it was extremely difficult to make soil from scratch. We discussed the weathering process and how it takes 100 years for each inch of soil to form!!
