We are excited to share that last week marked the grand opening of our Jaguar Retreat! This thoughtfully designed space provides students with a supportive environment where they can take a moment to pause, reflect, and recharge during the school day. The Jaguar Retreat is a calm and welcoming area that promotes self-regulation, mindfulness, and emotional well-being helping our students return to class ready to learn and succeed.

We were honored to welcome guests from the district, as well as representatives from the Escondido Education Foundation and other community members, who joined us to see this special space in action. Their visit helped highlight the importance of creating environments that support the whole child.

November was full of wonderful moments on our campus. Our Kindergarten students brought so much joy with their Thanksgiving Balloon Parade, proudly walking around campus and showing off their creative balloons.

Our TK students melted hearts with their Thankful Program, performing songs and sharing gratitude with their families.

We also want to highlight the generosity of our school community. Our annual Food Drive brought in 1334 cans, all donated to families in need in our area. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

A big congratulations to Mrs. Kirkbride and Mrs. Rosenkranz’s class for winning the November Attendance Challenge. They were the only class in the school to meet the goal and celebrated with an extra recess and a popsicle party.

We are so proud of our students, families, and staff for making these moments special!
