Friday, October 16, 2020 Quote of the week: "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." -- The Dalai Lama It's 80 degrees in my office, I'm grouchy, and I'm sick of this pandemic. I'm not much of a runner, and the last thing I would ever do is run a marathon. Professionally and personally, I feel like I'm running a marathon that I did not sign up for. We all are. When I'm stressed out and annoyed by life, I tend to complain and get snappy with people. We all do. That's why I chose this quote by the Dalai Lama. I need the reminder that I can always choose to be kind. Everyone is under stress, so we all need to be extra kind whether it's at Safeway, the school office or in the living room. Enjoy this beautiful weather, and take an extra minute to breathe deep and share a smile with someone who needs it. Take care, Jeanne School Business: Read-a-Thon Event this Monday, 10/19 @ 6:30 pm.

School Lunch School lunches are currently free for all Pacifica School District students until the end of June, 2021. Many family’s financial situations have changed in 2020. Please consider completing this application for Free and Reduced Price Lunch by October 28, 2020. It is important for us to have an accurate count of the number of students who would qualify for free or reduced price meals as some school funding is based on this count. The applications are one per family and can be turned into your school or to the district office or emailed to Marta Grech at mgrech@pacificasd.org. The application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals is here: English or Spanish Parent Survey: Please fill this out. PSD needs to hear your voices. Within the next week, parents will receive a survey from Panorama Education to learn how things are going in distance learning. The results of the survey will help district and school administrators better understand the perceptions of families and identify areas of strength and areas for growth. It is estimated that it will take you approximately 17 minutes to complete the survey. Your responses will be confidential. We will also survey staff and students in 3-8th grade. Dia de los Muertos Ofrenda for Sean Nunan: Several of our families are coordinating a Day of the Dead Altar for Sean. It will be displayed at school during the week of November 2nd, and will be up during the scheduled picture days on 11/4 & 11/5. More information to follow.
