Rancho Isabella Elementary

👏 Big cheers for this week’s shout outs! 👏 Our students and staff continue to amaze us with their dedication and positivity. Thank you for making our school extraordinary! 💫 #WildcatPride

It takes a village (and a few elves!) to make the magic happen. A huge thank you to PTO and everyone helping our students navigate the Holiday Shop. Seeing the smiles on their faces makes it all worth it.

We have one day left—tomorrow is the last call for holiday shopping!

"Selfie with an Elfie! Our halls are officially under elf surveillance today! From sparkly sequins to striped socks, our students and staff definitely understood the assignment. We love seeing so much creativity and joy walking through the school!

Reminder: Don't forget that tomorrow is Rudolph/Reindeer Day!

Spreading holiday cheer and well-deserved recognition through the halls today! A huge congratulations to our December Stars who shine so bright at our school.

Star Teacher: Mrs. Arias (Kindergarten) Star Support Staff: Mrs. Buentello (Principal's Secretary)

From the front office to the classroom, these two ladies make our days brighter. We loved seeing the excitement on the students’ faces when the "Elf Squad" came to visit! Thank you both for everything you do for our school family.

💙🐾 Wildcat Spotlight! 🐾💙 Today we honor the students and staff who go above and beyond. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed — thank you for being leaders in our community! #ShoutOutSpotlight

We are having a blast watching the students pick out special gifts! If your student hasn't shopped yet, there is still time—but not much!

Please check your student's backpack for the budget sheet and flyer we sent home before Thanksgiving. Simply fill it out and send it in with cash so they can join the fun.

We are officially in the holiday spirit! "Holiday Headwear Day" was a huge hit, and we loved seeing the hallways filled with Santa hats and festive headbands. It’s definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!

Looking for a fun and creative activity to keep the kids busy over Thanksgiving Break?

We are thrilled to announce our Library Ornament Contest! We challenge our students to create a handmade ornament that represents their favorite book, character, or just the love of reading.

Get the glue guns and glitter ready over the break! Ornaments are due back at school by Friday, December 5th. The top 5 favorites will win a free book! Check the flyer for all the crafty details.

Did you know the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade started with puppets? Our Pre-K, Kinder, and 1st-grade students do! After learning all about the history of the parade and the inventor of the very first puppet float, they put their engineering skills to the test. They designed and created their very own animal balloon floats for a special hallway parade today! To top it all off, Mrs. Gay—the winner of our Feather Fundraiser—was a fabulous sport and joined the fun as our official Turkey Teacher!
