Parent Teacher Conferences: Our next PTC is coming up next month on Wednesday the 8^th and Thursday the 9^th.  Conference sign-ups will be sent to you later this month.  We will also have the Book Fair open during the conferences as well.

A.L.L. (Gifted & Talented) Program:  The District has made a change to the A.L.L. structure. Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, the elementary A.L.L. program will be offered for students in 4th-6th grades, with identification testing beginning in 3rd grade. The 3rd grade A.L.L. classrooms at Foothill, Highland, and Saratoga Shores will be discontinued at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.  Because of this change, they will NOT be holding A.L.L. testing for 2nd graders this year. Next year, they will hold testing for your 3rd graders.
