Welcome to 6th grade Math!!
We, the sixth grade Mathematicians’ mission is to prepare ourselves for the future. In order to accomplish this we will cooperate with each other, listen, and share ideas. In addition, we will learn from our mistakes by working together and giving our best effort, while meeting or exceeding the standards as a team.

From Nurse Jackie
Las Brisas currently have more than half of their class homerooms designated Nut Free. If you have a student in one of these classrooms, a letter was sent home at the beginning of the school year explaining what this means. As we are into our second semester I would like to give you some reminder information to ensure the safety of all of our students when snacks, party and birthday treats are brought to school.
PEANUT FREE / TREE NUT FREE SNACK LIST
Please avoid snacks that contain peanuts, peanut flour, peanut oil, or peanut butter or other nuts. This includes snacks with almonds, coconuts, filberts, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nut, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts.
Please note: Food labels/ingredients may change over time, so it is always recommended that you read the label before purchasing snacks. Please read labels carefully to make sure the products are nut free.
This includes labels that read “May contain traces of peanuts/nuts” or “may be processed in a plant or on equipment that processes nuts”.
Most local store bakeries that make cup cakes carry a disclaimer that says “made on machinery that processed nuts or nut products”. These cannot be brought into a Nut Free classroom.
Suggestions for Nut Free Snacks and Treats, taken from SnackSafely.com, a monthly updated resource. Please still check the labels each time before purchasing any treat to be brought to school.

Your teacher will have a more inclusive list. Please check with your teacher for other specific requirements or restrictions for their classroom. Ex: candy and popsicles are not considered a healthy snack for class snack time, just parties and special events like birthday or holiday parties.
Thank you for your consideration and support in keeping the food-allergic child safe from having a life threatening allergic reaction at school.

PULL FORWARD-WE NEED YOUR HELP! STUDENT DROP OFF/FRONT PARKING LOT: Parents, make sure that when you are dropping your student/students off in the morning, to drop off at the curb ONLY. All students should be dropped off at the curb. Do not drop students off in the parking area of the parking lot unless you will be walking your child into the school. Your child’s safety is a concern, and this is the reason that we have the curbside drop off.
We ask that you pull forward all the way when dropping off your student. Have your child ready to exit the car when it is your turn. Please do the same when picking up your child at the end of the day.
Another request, is that you wait patiently in line with all of the other parents on the street. Drivers have been known to drive in the east bound lane to enter the parking lot. This is dangerous and there have been several close calls.
Please follow the directions of the duty teachers and use the crosswalks when crossing the parking lot. Again, we are concerned about the safety of our Las Brisas families. We appreciate your help. Thank you.
