Dear St. David Families, 


I hope this letter finds you well and that you had an equally fantastic time at our annual Block Party! We were thrilled to see so many of our families come together for a day of fun, laughter, and community bonding. The event's success was a testament to the spirit that defines our St. David community.


Parent Teacher Conferences: We value your partnership in your child's education, adn we are excited to announce our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conferences are scheduled for October 2-4 with time blocks offered by your child's teacher. These conferences provide a valuable opportunity to engage with your child's teachers, discuss their progress, and set goals for the remainder of the year.


Missing Paperwork Notices: In our commitment to maintaining organized and efficient school operations, we will soon be sending notices home regarding any missing paperwork or documentation. Please take a moment to review these notices carefully and provide any necessary information promptly. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as it helps us ensure the smooth running of our school and compliance with regulations.


As we move forward in this trimester, we look forward to continued collabioration between our school and our dedicated families. Together, we can provide the best possible educational experience for your children.


Yours in faith,

Ms. Medrano

New Faces around St. David

We have some new faces on campus! Please make sure you introduce yourselves to our newest school community members!

Ms. Tiara Turner is our new front office secretary! She comes to us after enjoying some time at home with her babies. She has had experience as front office administrative specialist and medical assistant in Emeryville. We are so excited for her to join the St. David community!

A familiar face to many, Ms. Yesenia Zavala has stepped up to be our Willows Program Lead on top of holidng down her full-time job AND our Outreach Coordinator for the Parent-Teacher Group. She has already made an incredible impact with our after school care!

Mr. Miguel Calderon joins the St. David community as our 4th and 5th grade homeroom teacher. With extensive experience in teaching applied mathematics, he is sharing his passion for exploration and curiosity with our 4th/5th graders.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

A reminder that the Parent-Teacher Conferences are quickly approaching! All teachers should have shared their sign-up sheets with you at this point. Please make sure that you have signed up for a 15-minute time to meet with your student's teacher.


A gentle reminder to make sure to communicate with the teacher first if you have questions or concerns. It is most productive to speak with the teacher if you have any concerns about the classroom. It is unproductive to not include the teacher in your conversations about your concerns in the classroom.

 

8th Grade Caritas Fundraisers

Please support our 8th grade's field trip to CYO Caritas.

 

Uniforms

Just a reminder that our dress code policy can be found here St. David Parent/Student Handbook. As the weather starts to cool down, if your student needs an additional layer, Leftside Printing is starting to offer green fleece jackets that has our school name on it.


If you wish to have your student's name embroidered on their sweatshirt, Leftside Printing also provides this service. I just ask that you choose your student's first name or last name. It may be unsafe to wear clothing with your student's full name on it.
