Voting: We will have the mid-term election voting here on Tuesday. Therefore, if the barn is set up for voting, we could potentially be eating in classrooms for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We will update you as we know more. Please review inside lunch expectation and procedures with your kids.


*Smart Devices and Watches: These devices are to remain off or unused while at school. Please put this blurb in your weekly newsletters. The office will also be sending out information in the next News from the Ranch.  This is new to families, so please give grace if it takes a bit. First offense... warning. Second offense... communicate policy with parents respectfully and seek to understand. Third offense... device is taken away and can pick up after school with parent communication.

MESSAGE TO FAMILIES: Though smart watches and devices are very convenient ways to communicate with your kids, they pose safety issues while at school. School policy is that devices remain off and/or put away while at school. Once school is over, they are allowed to turn them back on. Watches that remain unused can remain on the student's wrist. Any device being used during school will be given to the office. Students will be able to pick up the device after school. Thank you for your help.

*KCRA Kids Can: Orchard Ranch will be collecting canned food for KCRA Kids canned food drive and they will donate to Placer Food Bank. We will start collecting on 11/2-11/10. My intention will be having the kids collect and keep tabs on how many cans each class donates. (We may have a surprise for the most cans in the grade level.) A leadership kid will be coming by Friday  during their lunch recess at 12:30 K-3 and 12:55 4-5 to give a speech, hang a sign, and leave a box. Please feel free to put the box and sign(s) where you want. Each day from 11/2 -11/10 a leadership student will be coming to your class to collect cans and take them to the office. I will be sending them at their lunch recess from 12:30-12:55. If this is not a good time for your class please let me know a better time they can come get cans!



PTC Meeting(12/6): Our next general meeting is on Tuesday, October 18th at 6:30pm. If you can attend a meeting, please sign up here. We hope you can join us!


Events: Check out upcoming events and our year at a glance HERE.



Sparkler: Staff Holiday Party (12/16): Save the date for our Staff Holiday party. We will be having it on December 16th after school. Be on the lookout for more information.
