Gordon J. Lau Elementary School 劉貴明小學

You are always in our hearts.  We can't let a week go by without recognizing deserving students. Our students of the week will be getting their certificates by mail.  Student of the Week Annoucements are now shared on School Messenger posted on teachers' website.  Please check with your teacher.

Every month we recognize students who best demonstrate one of the behavior traits in Coach John Wooden's Pyramid of Success.  The theme for March is SKILL. Be good at what you do! Learn the subject! Master the task whether it's geography or gymnastics. You have to know what you’re doing and be able to do it quickly and properly. To improve your level of SKILL takes practice, study, and repetition, repetition, repetition. 

Beginning Monday, March 30, we will ONLY  be open two days per week (Monday and Wednesday) from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.  at the same sites. No identification or proof of school enrollment is required. Adults can now pick up meals for children without a child present. 我們將改為每週兩天(星期一、三）上午11時至中午12時) 在以往相同地點派發校餐。每個袋子盛有足夠多天的食物。大家無需出示身份證明或入學證明。

During these weeks, we are working on establishing communications with all of our students and families.  Your child should have been receiving communications from our teachers via phone calls, emails and/or texts.  If you have not been receiving information, please contact our teachers directly.  It could be that we don't have your correct contact information. Most importantly, please let us know if you need anything:  food, shelter, access to internet, a computer, etc.  We are here to help. Please call us on our emergency line (415)743-0913 or contact your child's teacher directly.

If you have to miss work to take care of your children due to the school closure, unable to work due to having COVID-19 or unable to work because you caring for an ill or quarantined member, you may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits. 

COMCAST offers low-income Internet Essentials customers two months of free internet and announces additional steps to help ensure people stay connected to the Internet as more schools suspend classes and companies encourage employees to work from home due to the Coronavirus.

There are some things families can do to support their children during school closure related to the COVID-19 pandemic. While health and physical safety is a priority, it is also important to consider how children are thinking, feeling and talking about what is happening around them.

• Talk to Your Children
• Be Mindful of Your Routine
• Care for Yourself so You Can Care for Others
