Attention 6th Grade Families!

We need your support in guiding our students toward healthy conflict resolution strategies. Recently, we've seen an increase in reports of peer conflicts and online cyberbullying among our 6th-grade students.
This week, Mrs. Antuna and Ms. Coronel will be visiting classrooms to talk about appropriate ways to resolve conflicts. We kindly ask that you continue this conversation at home. Please encourage your child to report any incidents to a trusted adult rather than escalating the situation.
Your partnership is essential in helping our students feel safe and supported. 


Also, a reminder that a TDAP booster shot is required before entering 7th grade. Call your child’s health clinic today if it’s missing. Your 6th grader will receive a note from the school if they do not have a TDAP booster.

Attendance Matters!

Families: A reminder that we’re working with students to improve attendance at Gavilan View. We need them here every day and arriving to school on time. They also should be arriving to each of their classes on time.

When send home notifications when your child is tardy. Please check the "Alerts" on your Parent Square App. If you’re receiving these notifications, please talk to your child at home so they avoid being assigned a Saturday School.

Our school goal is to stay above 95% attendance every day. The week before Spring Break, we didn't meet our goal. Our attendance was at 94.8%. The breakdown by day was:

  • Monday 3/17: 93.9%
  • Tuesday 3/18: 96.2%
  • Wednesday 3/19: 94.5%
  • Thursday 3/20: 95.2%
  • Friday 3/21: 95.4%

We're a team, families! Let's continue to work together to keep striving for improved attendance and work together to talk to the students about why attendance is important!
