Dear Red Hawk Families

We look forward to seeing you at our Back-to-School Night this Wednesday!
The evening will begin with a PTA budget presentation at 5:15 p.m., followed by an introduction to our amazing Red Hawk Team at 5:30 p.m.
Classroom sessions will begin at 6:00 p.m. The first session will run from 6:00 to 6:25 p.m., followed by the second session from 6:30 to 6:55 p.m.
We are excited to partner with you and share more about the wonderful learning experiences planned for your child this year!

Congratulations to Our Reclassified English Learners!
These students have worked incredibly hard to meet the state criteria for reclassification as Fluent English Proficient students. This accomplishment represents a significant milestone in their academic journey and reflects their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to learning.
We are especially proud to share that our school has achieved one of the highest reclassification rates in the district, a testament to the hard work of our students, the support of their families, and the dedication of our teachers.

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS)

We would like to recognize and celebrate our students' positive behavior through our PBIS Reward Program. Students earn PBIS reward points, which they can redeem for prizes through our Red Hawk Online Store.
If you would like to support this program, we welcome donations of small toys, trinkets, or individually wrapped candy. Please drop off donations at the school office and label them "PBIS."

Your generosity helps us encourage and reward our students' positive choices. We greatly appreciate any contributions and know our students will be excited to receive these rewards! Thank you for your support of our Red Hawks!

Upcoming Events

Coffee with Principal
We will be hosting our first Coffee with Principal this Friday at 8:15 a.m. Please check in at the front office upon arrival.
We warmly welcome all parents to join us for an opportunity to connect, learn about upcoming school events and initiatives, ask questions, share feedback, and engage in meaningful conversations about supporting student success.
We look forward to seeing you there!

4th Grade Sacramento Trip
Don't forget to join us to learn more about the exciting 4th Grade Sacramento Trip next Thursday, 09/10 at 6pm (MPR)! If your child is in 4th grade, we encourage you to attend and learn about this memorable educational experience. This trip offers students a unique opportunity to explore California's rich history and government while creating lasting memories with their classmates.

Be on the lookout for Saturday School sign-ups!
Our first Saturday School session will be held on September 26. If your student has one absence, this is an opportunity to make up the missed day while participating in engaging learning activities and enrichment opportunities. We look forward to seeing our students there!

Traffic

Important Reminders

Pick Up/Dismissal Reminders:

For the safety of all students, please do not park, drop off, or pick up students in any red curb area, especially in front of the MPR. There is no breakfast drop-off or pick-up permitted in front of the MPR. Students should only be dropped off and picked up at the designated yellow curb areas.

These procedures are in place to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. When everyone follows our traffic expectations, we can provide a safer arrival and dismissal experience for all. Unfortunately, there have been traffic accidents in the past, and we want to do everything possible to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
Our traffic expectations are outlined in the Parent Handbook (under "Traffic Safety") and have been shared multiple times through ParentSquare. We respectfully ask all families to follow these guidelines at all times to help keep our students safe, even when traffic supervisors are not present.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to maintaining a safe school environment for everyone

ATTEND TODAY, ACHIEVE TOMORROW

Student attendance will remain a focus at Hidden Trails this year. Regular attendance supports academic success and helps students build strong habits for the future.

Congratulations to our 3rd-grade students for achieving the highest attendance rate this week!

Please make every effort to schedule absences only when necessary. When students miss school, they miss valuable instruction that can be difficult to make up.

Students at risk of chronic absenteeism may be required to meet with Mrs. Wong or Mrs. Allaf and develop an attendance improvement plan.


Project Wisdom

This year, we will focus on one Wise Choice each month. We encourage families to help reinforce these important character traits at home so that we can work together as a team to support our students' growth.

September Wise Choice: Choose to do and be your personal best. 
I choose to do my very best each day. When I am willing to do my personal best,
I win self-respect and self-esteem.
