School Announcements
Beach Clean-Up Wed. 12/14 1:30
Meet at the school at 1:30. We will all walk together to the beach. Each student must have a designated adult chaperone (parent, not staff). This is a great chance to connect with other Pacific School families and give back to the greater North Coast community which does so much for our school! Plus, we can help keep trash out of our oceans! 
Congratulations to Ms. Wendy!
I’m excited to share that I have published my first children’s book for ages 3 - 9 year olds! It is available on Amazon! I have donated a copy to the Library and the Kindergarten. Enjoy! Ms. Wendy - Tech & GATE Mentor 
The 2023-24 School Calendar is Here
The board has approved the 2023-24 School Calendar. Please use it to plan your vacations during school holidays so that students can attend all 180 days of school! Doing so helps your student thrive and improves school funding. 
Science Fair
The Science Fair is quickly approaching and will take place this year on February 9th and 10th. The 9th will be for students to tour and come see all the awesome projects, and the 10th will be for judging. This will allow the 3 weeks between Thanksgiving and Winter Break to begin projects and all of January to finalize them (whether they are whole class projects or individual student projects). Please let Ms. Anderson or Mr. Guererro know if you have any questions. 
Start Making Movies!
Winter break is an excellent time to start working on your film festival submissions! This year's student film festival will take place on April 14. Details and help available here.
