We hope you had a wonderful weekend! Here’s a look at what’s happening at Juniper this week. Please take a moment to read through so you stay informed and connected.

CAASPP Testing

We’re now in the CAASPP testing window for students in grades 3–5. To help students do their best, please ensure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school with their iPads fully charged each day. We kindly ask families to schedule any medical or other appointments outside of school hours or after May 23, when testing ends, as it is very important for students to be present every day during testing. Thank you for your support!

Attendance Challenge

The attendance challenge is going strong! Students in grades 3–5 who have perfect attendance from April 22 through May 23 will earn a special meet-and-greet with a BMX performer. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to be recognized for their commitment to showing up every day and giving their best effort.

2025-2026 YMCA Interest Form

The interest form for next year’s YMCA Before and After School Program is now open! Please note that enrollment isn’t first-come, first-served. Because the program is funded by the California Department of Education, priority is given to foster and homeless youth, students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and English learners. If there’s more interest than available space, a lottery will be held. While you can submit the interest form anytime during the 2025–26 school year, the first round of applications will be reviewed in May. To be included in Round 1, please submit your form by Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
