7th and 8th Grade STEM Camp at Rio, "Spy Academy "! Rio Lindo Academy is hosting a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math(STEM) Camp November 10 and 11. We would leave about 9:30 on Monday and be back by 2pm on Tuesday. It is an overnight camp. The cost for the camp is $35 and the food, lodging, and t-shirt are included. A flier went home with the students today.

We will be creating a laser maze, making our own invisible ink, learning how to cipher for secret messages, and building an LED magnetic tracker.

Mr. Kuntz will be going and teaching assisting with the laser maze.

We could use one or two more chaperones/drivers.

Please email, call or text Mr. Kuntz with any questions.

In case your child didn’t bring the grapevine home yesterday, 5th and 6th grade are going on a science field trip to Point Reyes. We do need a few drivers for this trip. Attached is the flier that went home with the grapevine.

Hello, School Family!
We are so excited for next Sunday’s big Fall Festival event! We are working on our plans and still in BIG need for volunteers. Last 2 weeks we have attached sign-up forms to the Grapevines and you can find them in your emails as well. We have 17 families who have signed up and 64 who we have not heard from yet. With at least 30 persons needed each hour, that makes 120 spots to fill. Please return those volunteer forms ASAP so the schedule can be completed. Thank you for supporting this wonderful fundraising event!
Here's the link to that volunteer form in case you need it again:

Fall Festival is just around the corner, October 26m Noon-4pm. I need help with two things to make it a success for our class.

1. We need help from every parent to take a time slot. We have two booths. One is the box maze and the other is a variation on the dunk tank. Students will support the parents at the box maze.

2. We have a gift basket at the auction. It is "sports themed" If possible, please bring 1 sports item $15-20 worth. That will be greatly appreciated.

Please text or email me with times you are available to help at our booths, thank you.

Hello school family! I just finished sending school portraits to everyone whose child was here for portrait day. If your child was here, and you did NOT receive a portrait, check your junk folder, and if nothing is there, please let me know.
Retake day will be THIS MONDAY, October 6!! So if you would like retakes, no worries, just notify your teacher so that they can make sure they participate in that.
Please enjoy, and happy Wednesday!

Yosemite!

Tomorrow morning we will load up. Plan on arriving to the school by 9:45 to load the vehicles. Remember a sack lunch for tomorrow. **There is forecasted a chance of rain Tuesday night** A poncho might be something to throw in. The good news is that we will be leaving Wednesday morning. Lows overnight of 50 and highs in the low 80s to mid 70s.

If possible pack in duffle (soft sided bags) it is easier to pack. Pillow and sleeping bag can be separate.

Chaperones and drivers. I just got the last phone number I was missing. I will put a group text together.

Drivers please have gas tanks full and if possible be at the school at 9:30 to assess the packing availability of each car and truck.

See everyone in the morning.

Happy Friday school family! I just want to take a moment to let you know that we are going to have our first picture day this coming Wednesday, September 3!

And also a reminder that the last day to order the UJA sweatshirts is August 31! We are working on having a site put together where you can order them in the future through Starkey's Custom Apparel, but if you wanted to get one beforehand, now is the time to do it! Link is below for that order form!

Here is some information about this week. - Tuesday and Wednesday will be normal days (but not hot lunch on Wednesday).. - Thursday will be an early dismissal day (12:15) with after-school care available starting at 12:30. The 8th-grade graduation will take place in the school courtyard at 6:30. - Friday is the last day of school. We will have a chapel to start the day, followed by some staff vs. student basketball. The remainder of the day will take place outside on the playground and on the field with games, activities, and a water fight. We will again have Sugar Mama Hawaiian Shave Ice for everyone. Lunch will be served at 11:00 by our fantastic parent volunteers. Parents are welcome to join the fun and share a meal with us all. Dismissal will be at 12:15 with pick-up on the playground (I will not be calling rides down to the parking lot). There will be no after-school care on the last day of school.
