Spring Break Next Week (No School)
There will be no school in session next week due to spring break.
COVID Test Kits
All students will be sent home with a COVID-19 test kit before they leave for spring break. Please have your students take a COVID-19 test on March 31st, the day before they return to school. If your child tests positive, have your student stay home if they have COVID-19 symptoms, until they have not had a fever for 24 hours without using fever reducing medication AND other COVID-19 symptoms are mild and improving. If they do not have symptoms, they should attend school and follow CDPH recommendations to reduce exposure to others including masking for 10 days and avoiding contact with people at high-risk for severe illness. Report a positive result to our school office.
ECE Facilities Update
On March 13, 2023, DJUSD introduced the proposal for Early Childhood Education (ECE) requisite facilities district-wide, due to the passage of AB 130. Design planning is now underway for additional ECE requisite facilities at Willett Elementary School.
Please join the DJUSD Bond Team on Monday, April 8, for two meeting opportunities to learn more about the construction of these new buildings and to share your feedback about this project at your neighborhood school. Families, staff, neighbors and friends are all invited.

Second Breakfast Time Options
Students have two options to receive a second breakfast at Willett. The first time is at 8:15 a.m. with the second time being during their morning recess. Students will need to decide which time works best for them and enter their student i.d. number to receive breakfast. Only one whole breakfast is allowed each day so students will need to decide which time they choose. Fruit is always provided and available at both breakfast times.
Rubik’s Jam And Try-Its Club
Mr. Simi started a club this week that allows students in 3-6 grades to meet at lunch to try out new games and activities. A “Jam” is something that is passionate to students that they love to do. A “Try-It” is something students have never done or something that looks interesting that they would like to try. Activities include board games, Rubik’s cubes, art activities, and so much more. The club meets each Friday and is planned for the rest of the year. We are exploring ways to give 1st and 2nd graders a chance so stay tuned for more information to come.
Open House Is April 10th
You are cordially invited to the 2024 Willett Open House on Wednesday, April 10th from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Come by your student’s classroom to see the hard work that has been put into student learning and achievement. Teachers will have their doors open for families to come and visit and would love to see you in the classroom. Hope to see you there!
