Green Team Update

Last spring, several dedicated Terra Linda students took it upon themselves to fundraise and purchase durable silverware to replace the plastic silverware being used in the cafeteria.

Scholastic Book Fair

Our winter Scholastic Book Fair continues through Friday, 2/1 at the times below. Online shopping is also available through 2/5 (details below):

Before School: 8:10 am – 8:28 am
Lunch Recess: 10:45 am – 12:30 pm

Terra Linda will receive 55% of sales in Scholastic Dollars to buy books for the school!

The Book Fair is a wonderful opportunity to share your love of reading with your whole class by donating a book to your student’s classroom. Teachers will have chosen books they would like to have in their classroom and set them aside behind the cashier. When purchasing your own books at the fair, you can also chose to contribute additional money, in any amount, that will be used to buy books for the school.

Book Fair Online

Online shopping for the fair offers an expanded selection of books for all ages. Online shopping runs until 2/5. Any books ordered online can ship to the school for free and we’ll get them to you or you can pay to ship to an address.

The online fair is a great way to get a book that we don’t have at the fair, or one that sold out. Books purchased online still count towards additional books for the school.

NOTE: The site has a School Wish List, however the books listed are a default list from Scholastic and do not reflect what the school would like. Please visit the fair at school if you would like to purchase and donate books to classrooms.  Thank you.

New volunteers to Terra Linda

Thank you to those that have signed up to become volunteers!

New volunteer applications are still being processed by the district.  We are just now starting to see new volunteers added to Terra Linda who applied at the end of August.  If you completed the application, know that this time of the year is the busiest for the District and it may take a few more days to hear back.

Please ensure you have signed up in My Volunteer Page to volunteer in your child’s classroom as a classroom volunteer, party helper, or field trip helper depending on your interests.  This will help the classroom representative, and party parent know who is interested in helping in the classroom.

Information will be sent to those who have signed up for the Classroom Representative and Party Parent positions by the end of the weekend.  They will work with the teacher and then will reach out to those who have signed up to volunteer in the classroom with details about any classroom volunteer opportunities and to request party help.

Student Directory

The online student directory will be sent out to parents in the coming weeks.  This will be a password protected link that only Terra Linda parents will have access to.

If you would like to opt out of sharing any part of your personal information, please submit this form by Friday, 9/14.
