October 10, 2021

Dear Carrillo Families,

Please remember that this week is dedicated to parent-teacher conferences. There was no school today, Monday, October 11, and we have a shortened day for the rest of the week. Please see the letter below for more information. We also have the book fair this week and the Fall Bash on Saturday!

October 11-15 is Parent-Teacher Conference Week

Here is the Conference Week Letter for more information regarding lunch, recess, and KOC.

All parent-teacher conferences will take place virtually this year. Please look out for information regarding the log-in information for either Zoom or Google Meet.

October 11-15th- School Climate Survey for 4th and 5th

The San Marcos Unified School District would like to have all students in 4th-12th take a survey to get their feedback on our school climate. We will administer the survey during school hours this week. If you would like your child to opt out, please complete the bottom portion of the letter that went home last week and return it to your child's teacher. However, if you don't mind having your child take the survey, there is nothing you need to do. If you’d like a preview of the questions, I would be happy to provide that to you.

Book Fair

The Book Fair is BACK! The Book Fair is beloved by our Carrillo Colts, and every purchase earns money to buy new library books for all of our students to enjoy! The Book Fair will be open before and after school from 10/12-10/15, and during Fall Bash on Saturday 10/16! Please visit the Book Fair Website for detailed information about shopping dates and times, instructions to set up an eWallet for simple cashless transactions, and Covid guidelines. We have also set up a “Book Fairy” fund to ensure that every student has the opportunity to purchase a book, and will be working with our school social worker to identify students who would benefit from these donations. If you would like to donate, you can contribute to the eWallet account here!
