So much has happened since my last letter to you. Among the many events and activities we’ve enjoyed:  

• Our first annual (well attended and very successful) Block Party, 
• Saturday morning paint party 
• “DEAR” community meeting where everyone spent 15 minutes just reading silently in the auditorium
• Grade level Community Building Field Trips 
• Listening Conferences 

I could share so much more but then I would run out of things to talk about at Back to School Night. Not really since there is so much good happening at CSUS! Learn more about your child’s experience at CSUS from 6:30 – 8PM this Thursday night’s (Oct. 6). We have much to share and are excited to see you. Let’s renew/begin a partnership that will benefit your child throughout the year. 

As always, on behalf of TEAM CSUS, thank you for choosing CSUS and for your continued support!

Peace,

Manuel J. Fernandez
Head of School
