Principal's Message Greetings Birch Lane Families,

Happy Week 23 of the 2022-2023 school year. I hope you all had a great day off today with your students. Happy Early Valentine’s Day if you celebrate this holiday! Make sure you check your calendars as we will also be off of school next Monday.

Please remember to keep our parking lot safe. Parents should drop off in front of Birch Lane on the street. I also want to remind you to keep Baywood Lane safe behind our school if you are dropping off students or picking up students. Thank you!

Thank you to Leslie Holeman-Umali for organizing a wonderful Science Night for our Birch Lane Families. We had exciting presenters and all of the students were engaged and enjoying themselves.

Garden News:

Be a citizen scientist by participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count at Birch Lane Sunday 2/19 from 9am-11am! We will learn how to identify some common birds and then find a spot to sit and see how many we can spot. Sightings will then be recorded to help scientists learn more about birds and help protect them.

We will also have a few activities to do, including making pinecone bird feeders to hang out in your own back yard.
