CALENDAR - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

On July 13, the Governing Board approved a slight modification to the 2011-12 school calendar in order to better prepare for the start of the school year, and to improve delivery of the annual parent-teacher conferences that occur at the elementary school level each October. In part, these changes include closing all schools Monday, Oct. 31 to observe a district-wide furlough day resulting from California’s school budget cuts.

TITLE 1 TIDBIT

We are nine weeks from Spring Break and our interventions are in full swing! Our students are receiving direct instruction on areas of weakness in BEEP! classes, lunchtime intervention, CST Prep Academy, and Catch-Up Club. Please remember placement is not determined by grades. We look at achievement on specific standards and provide additional support to any student who needs it. These interventions will run up to Spring Break.
