Principal's News
There are many events happening this week. For 7th grade families, the Teen Sexual Health Curriculum information night is on Monday at 7:00. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, many of our 6th and 8th graders will earn their ROPES by presenting their projects to a panel of judges. We also continue the SCEF read-a-thon this week! Please continue to encourage your Timberwolf to read this week.
Attendance:
If your child will not be signing on to class for any reason, please notify the Tierra Linda Office by calling
650-508-7370 or emailing [email protected] with the reason for the absence
Please provide the following information:
1. Student name
2. Grade
3. The reason they are missing school or class today.
If you receive the robocall, check with your child to make sure they were signed in, answered the teacher, and had their camera on, failure to do these things can result in the student being marked absent. Our objective is to have the students in virtual class and learning. Please call/email the office if you believe you received the call in error.
If your student is on campus and you are keeping your child home sick due to even one symptom of physical illness, you must complete the FeverFree screener so our nurses can follow up with you. They will directly message you within the FeverFree app. If your child is home due to physical illness, your child is not cleared for return until they have spoken with a nurse.
School Make up Photos have arrived
If your child took a makeup photo, the photos and proofs have arrived. Please come by The Wolf Den daily between 8:00-12:00 pm to pick up.

ROPES Judges Needed - Feb 2-4
We are in need of parents, staff, and community members that would like to serve as a judge for the ROPES (Rite of Passage Experiences) presentations in February. ROPES are challenging projects that 4th, 6th and 8th-grade students have completed which allow them to learn about their world and themselves in a deeper but fun way. You can learn more about ROPES on our website. This year all judging will be via Zoom.
There are 3 opportunities to judge:
• Tuesday, Feb 2, 4:00–6:30 pm
• Wednesday, Feb 3, 2:00-5:00 pm
• Thursday, Feb 4, 6:00-8:30 pm

We are asking for you to join district staff and other community members by volunteering to serve as a judge on one of our judging panels. Typically, we have two to three judges per room and they judge four to six student presentations in an evening/session.
We hope that you will be able to join us in this worthwhile event. Please sign up here to be a ROPES Judge.

Please join the Community Foundation of San Carlos (CFSC) Black History Month celebrations and events throughout the month of February!
CFSC is launching an inaugural annual poster art contest that is open to everyone in the community.
The theme for this year is racial justice. For those interested, the intent is to design a poster that commemorates one's hopes and dreams for racial justice, a world in which all are respected, valued, and able to thrive. We would love for you to share the details of the art poster contest with your children. If they don't understand the racial justice theme, what a great opportunity to spark discussion. 🤗
To learn more about the poster art contest and on how you, your family and others in the San Carlos community can participate, please visit this website.

IMPORTANT Survey for City Safety Programs
City Hall is asking for residents' input through a SHAPE SAN CARLOS survey (that closes soon, Feb 12 at 5pm). City Hall wants to hear from as many residents (including youth).
- How can the City encourage community members to use more alternative transportation around town (walking, biking, shared transit, etc.)?
- Should the City consider making some streets one-way to improve traffic and enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety?
- Should the City add more buffered bike lanes, paint more red curbs, and add more pedestrian paddles on City streets at the expense of losing street parking?
- What other solutions do you think the City should consider to improve traffic, encourage alternative transportation, and increase safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers in the City of Good Living?
Your feedback is going DIRECTLY to city staff, and all comments, suggestions, and creative ideas are welcome. The survey closes soon, on Feb 12 at 5pm. Go to: www.cityofsancarlos.org/shapesancarlos. Your feedback matters!
