    May 13, 2025 Issue 35   PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Good evening Plum Families I want to make you aware of a very serious and dangerous trend circulating on TikTok. This prank poses a significant safety risk to both students and the entire school community. The challenge encourages students to try and short-circuit their Chromebooks by inserting objects such as mechanical pencil lead, staples, or other metal items into the charging ports. This can cause the devices to overheat and in some cases start a fire. I am asking that you partner with us and talk with your child about the dangers and consequences of participating in these types of activities. This behavior not only puts students in harm’s way, but it also disrupts learning and can result in serious damage to school property. Students who misuse district technology will face disciplinary action and be held responsible for the cost of any damage. To help you have this important conversation, please read this helpful article on how to talk to your child about TikTok challenges: Talking to Your Child About TikTok Challenges Let's also remind and encourage students to follow our “See Something, Say Something” guidelines. If your child sees or hears about anything concerning, remind them to report it to a trusted adult right away so we can respond appropriately. Thank you for your continued partnership in making Plum Canyon the BEST School in the World! Just a few Reminders:   For the safety of your student please do not drop off before 7:45am as we do not have supervision before that time. We know that we love our Fur Babies, however there are NO Pets allowed on campus with the exception of Service Animals. Thank you for making safety a priority.    Driving Safety The safety of our children is of utmost importance. In order to ensure that our students are safe, we have to follow all of the traffic and safety rules during arrival and dismissal. You may not: Block our neighbors' driveways Double park Block intersections Enter the parking lot since it is intended for after school care program caravans Please be considerate of our neighbors and surrounding streets.   Dismissal During dismissal please remain behind the concrete seated areas. Please remind your child(ren) to avoid walking on the wall, running, or hanging from the concrete seated area.   Early Release Wednesday Every Wednesday is an Early Release Day. Please be patient and considerate as all our students dismiss at the exact time at 1:54pm.   California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Students in grades 3rd through 6th will participate in California Assessment of Student Performance Progress (CAASPP) beginning May 7th to May 23rd . Students demonstrate their learning and progress in English Language Arts and Math. Fifth grade students also participate in science assessment by taking the California Science Test (CAST). Parents and caregivers can preview the test at home, and practice with their children with the sample test found here. You may log in as a guest, choose the grade, and preview practice tests together.   Asian American History Month In the month of May we take time to reflect and celebrate the important role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have played in our shared history. This week we celebrate: Pasty Matsu Mink Takemoto Patsy Matsu Mink Takemoto was born on December 6, 1927, at the sugar plantation camp, Hāmākua Poko, on the island of Maui. She was a sansei, or third-generation descendant of Japanes immigrants.  She was an American attorney and politician from the U.S. state of Hawaii who served in the United States House of Representatives for 24 years. She was the first woman of color and the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress, and is known for her work on legislation advancing women's rights and education.   Staff Unlocking Success This year, we will be highlighting two staff members per week that were voted on by their colleagues for Unlocking Success at Plum Canyon.

  • Bridgeport Breeze 4/21/25

    Principals' Message April 21, 2025 Dear Bridgeport Dolphins, What a great assembly we had from The Music Center on Friday! Thank you to the PTA for bringing grades TK-6 "Got Rhythm!" The students enjoyed the music, learning, and dancing. Last week we met with grades 3-6 to review school expectations and to encourage students to set goals for the last quarter of the year. You can view our presentation here. If you haven't provided feedback on the Family Connectedness Survey, please do today! Our goal is to have 500 completed surveys, and we appreciate you sharing your voice on the brief survey. Click here. Every Kid Healthy Week takes places every day this week in Saugus Union School District. There are spirit days to highlight health conscious choices, and there will be classroom lessons each day to help the students understand how to eat healthy and get exercise. This week we have our monthly Parent Principal Chat on April 24 at 8:15 A.M. You can join us in person in the MPR or online https://saugususd-org.zoom.us/j/81791908260?pwd=4m1nxntMb6EoHikwPeUhG36DIh0UeS.1 Mrs. Standley will be sharing our Comprehensive School Safety Plan.

You may log in as a guest, choose the grade, and preview practice tests together.   Every Kid Healthy Week 4/21-4/25   April is Autism Acceptance Month Autism spectrum disorder (or ASD) is a difference in the way a brain develops. Many people with autism have topics that they get very interested in. Some make certain movements over and over again, like flapping their hands or pacing back and forth. A person with autism might have trouble: talking and learning the meaning of words making friends or fitting in dealing with changes (like trying new foods, having a substitute teacher, or having toys moved from their normal places) dealing with loud noises, bright lights, or crowds People  also might move in an repetitive way (like moving their fingers or hands) or do the same thing over and over (like saying the same word). They might be fascinated by a certain thing, like dinosaurs, and want to talk about it all the time. A kid with autism may have a little trouble with these things, or a lot. Some kids need only a little bit of help, and others might need a lot of help with learning and doing everyday stuff. Thank you for working together to help our students to be inclusive and accepting of everyone.   Monday Morning Assembly Each week the staff and students view the Monday Morning Assembly.

We must finish strong. Our students in grades 3 through 6  will be taking the CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) in May.  This assessment is extremely imporant. It is information for us. We need to know what skills and concepts our students mastered, and what they need on going support with. Students in grades K through 6 will take the end of the year  i-Ready Diagnostic  the last week in May and first week in June.                                                                                 Open House 5/22 from 5:00-6:30 pm                                                                                    LA Rams  Play: 60 on May 20  The Rams mascot and cheerleaders are coming to Cedarcreek! The Rams' PLAY 60 Field Day, is a structured program designed for elementary school students. The event opens with a brief assembly highlighting character traits and football fundamentals. Following our "PLAY 60 Huddle" assembly, students participate in carnival-style football activity stations. The program is a fun and interactive way to engage K – 6th grade students with the game of football in a non-competitive setting, while also promoting healthy eating habits, and encouraging students to move their bodies for 60 minutes a day. Our mascot, Rampage, and members of our cheerleading team also attend to interact with the students!                                                                                                                                                               District Flyers Weekly Attendance: Our goal this school year is to achieve and maintain 98% attendance.
