Is your student having difficulty completing homework? Do they need help with organizational skills? The new Homework/ Tutoring club may be just what they need. It will meet each Monday from 2:05–3:00 pm in room 21 with Mrs. Cline. The goal of this club is to help each child have more academic success now and in the future. If students finish their homework early they can log into Compass Learning. The space is limited, so ask your teacher for a permission slip or call the office.
Safety First
Help keep Adobe Bluffs safe by having an orderly drop off and pick up each day. We have had problems with cars speeding down the neighborhood streets to drop children off. It has also been reported that some parents are parking in city-designated red zones. This is particularly problematic since it causes congestion for all the other drivers and blocks the driveways of those living at the end of the street. The best way to help us have a safe drop off is to use the traffic circle. We ask that only preschool, kindergarten and special needs families enter the parking lot to park and walk students onto campus.
For those families who have children who walk to school, please remind your children of the following:
It is best to be with friends when walking, bicycle riding, or playing outside.
Be alert to strangers. The best thing to do is to run away if a stranger approaches.
- Let parents and/or the school know what has happened.

Recognizing Flu symptoms
Because all flu viruses can spread easily from person to person, Poway Unified School District is asking for your help in reducing the spread of the flu in our school.
Parents can do to help by recognizing the symptoms of the flu. Symptoms of the flu include: fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher), cough, sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and feeling very tired.
Do not send your children to school if they have any signs of illness
Children who are determined to be sick while at school will be sent home. Students cannot return to school after illness until they have been fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication.
Make plans now for children who need to stay at home. Plan for how children will be cared for if they become ill. Click here to see the PUSD Flu Tips for the 2011-2012 Influenza Season.
Parent Conferences
Parent conferences will be held the week of November 14-18. School will be dismissed at noon each day. ESS will be available for those who need childcare. Go to the school website for more information.
