I can not believe that it is June already! The first and second week of June is a critical time because we will be taking the state tests. These tests are important for your child and for our school. Please be sure that your child gets plenty of sleep, eats a healthy breakfast and does his/her personal best. This is an opportunity to show the state how many Standards we have mastered.
Speaking of Standards, please help us to communicate the importance of a high rate of attendance. We can not teach children who are not in school! Daily student attendance is critical to your child's progress. We need all of our Lions here and on time. As you plan vacations and appointments, please review the school calendar and arrange these so that they take place during breaks. The 2009-10 calendars will available on our website on or before July 1st (http://www.sandi.net/mason/).
This year, we will hold summer school from July 27 to August 21 at Walker Elementary and I will be the hosting principal. Remember, Ed Code states that the classroom teacher makes the final decision regarding promotion or retention. It is important that students who are not meeting grade-level Standards attend summer school to improve his or her reading comprehension and math number sense. If your child needs summer school, please be sure that the application is in today!
Parent involvement is essential to student achievement. We depend on you to help keep our students achieving at high levels! Please begin thinking about how you will support our school next year. We are in desperate need of a PTA president. If we do not have a PTA president, the PTA will fold and all extra activities for our kids and families will disappear. We need you and a parking space comes with the job!
In closing, I would like to thank the parents and community members who helped with our clean up day, May 16th. We were able to accomplish a great deal for our children! Sadly, there were not as many families as I hoped to see. I look forward to the involvement of many more parents in the future. Remember, we are all busy but together we can achieve more! We have asked that all parents/families become members of the PTA and volunteer at least 2 hours during the year. There is still time. Have you done your part?
For our children, |
