REMINDERS:

There are still a few students that do not have earthquake kits here at school.  A notice was sent home last week to parents of those students.  PLEASE be sure you put something together for your child and bring it to school as soon as possible.  Thank you.

Fall Fesitval Photos: - if you took any photos of students from Room 32, feel free to upload them to our Shutterfly website so we can all see how much fun they had.  Alternatively, you could email them to me and I will put them up.  Remember, the Shutterfly website is completely secure and no one else will be able to see them except you (if you have registered).

Today is The Great California Shake Out!

We had a full earthquake drill at school today.  Students had to duck and cover in the classroom and then we all went outside onto the yard.  All the staff at Van Gogh have duties and responsibilities in the event of an earthquake e.g. search and rescue, first aid,  watching over the sudents, monitoring the LAUSD reunion gate etc.  Students remained outside while staff performed their duties.  Now is a good time to talk to your child about your own plans in the event of an earthquake.  Do you have your emergency supplies ready at home, in the car, at your office?   Did you remember to bring in a supply kit for your child at school?  While we all hope this never happens, we know that living in California, we are in earthquake land and being prepared is the best way to be!
