Dear Blossom Hill Families,
As we approach the end of this school year, we are busy planning for our return in August 2021! Last week, Superintendent Johnson sent a video message regarding Team LGUSD’s planning for the 2021-2022 school year. Here are the main takeaways:

Chromebook and Hot Spot Returns |
If you have borrowed a Chromebook to provide connectivity in the home and/or the school, please plan to return it to the school on the following schedule:
K-2 students return Chromebooks to the MPR on 5/27 and 5/28
3-5 students return Chromebooks to the MPR on 6/1 and 6/2
Please return the Chromebook in clean, working condition.
- Shut down/turn off the computer before cleaning.
- Please do not use Windex, Clorox wipes, or harsh chemicals as they can strip away the protective, anti-glare coating on the screen.
- Instead, use a true screen cleaning solution (similar to this) lightly sprayed on a soft cloth and gently wipe the screen.
- The computer case and keyboard can be cleaned with a regular household cleaner taking care to not allow liquid to drip between the keys.
Some families have borrowed Wi-Fi hotspots to acquire internet connectivity in the home. Please return the hotspots to the school office ASAP if you are not using it at this time. If you need to keep the hotspot for now, please be sure to return it to your school office no later than Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021. All hotspots will be remotely disabled on Friday, June 3rd.
We hope the use of a Chromebook and/or hotspot has assisted your family with Internet access over the past year. All devices will be re-provisioned for next year’s student to use on a regular basis.

As we head to the end of the school year, it is time to clean out the Lost and Found. Please check the rack by the office for any coats, sweatshirts, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. that your child may have misplaced this year. Thank you! |

Los Gatos Union School District Parcel Tax
That Funds 23 Teachers Is Set To Expire
There are many ways California schools receive funding but only two are under local control: donations and parcel taxes.
For over 30 years, Los Gatos has renewed Measure B, our district’s local parcel tax. While the “purchasing power” has declined over time (due to inflation), the measure still funds 23 teachers.
Measure B is set to expire next year.
The LGUSD Board of Trustees is investigating renewing and increasing Measure B on the November 2021 ballot. To learn more about this process, visit www.lgusd.org/renewalmeasure.

BH Pride T-Shirts are Coming! |
Students in grades K - 4 who ordered BH Pride t-shirts will be receiving their shirts next Tuesday. They will be distributed through their classroom teachers. (5th Graders' shirts will be distributed at their promotion ceremony.) We would love for students to wear their shirts to school on our last day on Thursday to show their school pride. (Students are also welcome to wear any BH Spirit Wear.) |

Need more masks for in person instruction? We've got you covered. Please be sure to write your child's name and classroom number on the label inside the mask, as all masks do look alike. Let's all "bee" safe and "bee" healthy. |
