Panther Weekly Press May 5, 2026

May 5, 2026 Issue 33   PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Plum Canyon families As we move through the month of May, we have several important updates and celebrations to share with our Panther community. CAASPP State Assessments Our students in grades 3–6 are participating in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). These assessments provide valuable information about student learning and help guide our instructional planning. You can support your child by: Ensuring they get a good night’s sleep Arriving to school on time each day Encouraging a positive mindset and doing their best We are proud of the hard work our students have shown all year and know they are ready to demonstrate their learning! Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4–8) This week, we proudly celebrate our incredible Plum Canyon teachers. Their dedication, passion, and commitment to our students make a lasting difference every single day. From fostering a love of learning to supporting the whole child, our teachers truly embody our PRIDE values (Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Excellence). We invite you to join us in showing appreciation whether it’s a kind note, a message, or a simple “thank you.” Your support means so much! Celebrating Heritage and Culture in May May is a meaningful month as we recognize and celebrate the diverse cultures and contributions that enrich our community: Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Jewish American Heritage Month Haitian Heritage Month Throughout the month, we honor the history, achievements, and cultural contributions of these communities. At Plum Canyon, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all students feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we are making a difference for our students each and every day. Just a few Additional Reminders:   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.  Biking Safety Please remind your children that ride their bikes to follow the rules of the road. Remind them to use sidewalks and to not bike through parking lots.   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. Please also let your child's teacher know as soon as possible if there are any changes to their regular pickup routine. If your child is in CDP afterschool, please notify them as well.   Why Toys Should Stay Home Lately, we’ve seen a rise in students bringing toys to school especially items like NeeDohs, stuffed animals, and Pokémon cards. While these items can be fun and comforting at home, they often create problems in a classroom and outdoor setting. Toys can be distracting and make it harder for everyone to focus. They can also lead to conflicts if items are lost, damaged, or argued over. In addition, not all students have the same toys, which can make others feel left out. School is a place for learning, so students should bring only what they need: notebooks, pencils, and a positive attitude. If something is needed to help with focus, students can talk to their teacher about appropriate options. Keeping toys at home helps create a more focused and respectful learning environment for everyone. For more information, feel free to reference our Parent/Student Handbook.   SUSD New Student Enrollment   Staff Unlocking Success This year, we will continue to highlight two staff members per week that were voted on by their colleagues for Unlocking Success at Plum Canyon.

Please remember: If You Miss School, You Miss Out!  Every day of instruction builds on the last, and consistent attendance helps students thrive academically and socially. We know emergencies and illnesses happen, but we ask that families prioritize daily, on-time attendance whenever possible.

The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history. This week we honor:  Ruth Handler Ruth Handler, an innovator whose vision helped shape generations of imagination, confidence, and possibility for children around the world. Ruth Handler, co-founder of Mattel, is best known for inventing the Barbie doll in 1959. Inspired by watching her daughter play with paper dolls, she imagined something revolutionary, a three-dimensional doll that would allow children to dream about their future selves. At a time when the toy industry was hesitant, Ruth persevered and introduced the first fashion doll representing an adult woman, opening the door for children to explore endless possibilities through play. Her impact extended far beyond toys. Ruth Handler believed deeply in empowering young people, especially girls to see that they could be anything they dreamed of becoming. After her own battle with breast cancer, she went on to create a company that designed prosthetics for women, continuing her legacy of innovation and compassion. Ruth Handler’s story reminds us of the power of perseverance, creativity, and believing in an idea even when others may not see it yet. As a Panther community, we celebrate her legacy and encourage our students to dream big, think creatively, and never give up on their goals.   SUSD New Student Enrollment   Attendance Would you like your own parking spot during pickup and drop off?
