Message from Mrs. Wilken
Dear Trailblazer Families,
This week at the Ranch is very special. Please join us for the 11th annual International Fair and Art Show on Thursday. All students will have a piece of art they have picked out as one they are proud to showcase.
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month continues to be a focus on our campus and in classrooms during the month of May. On Friday we are excited to welcome the Center for World Music for a PTA sponsored all school assembly from 8 - 9am in our Quad.
Friday is also our next Student Council Sponsored Spirit Day: Tropical Beach Day!!!!
As always, proud to be your principal,
Mrs. Wilken

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month
In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, take this opportunity to learn more about the large and diverse cultural group that includes "all people of Asian, Asian American or Pacific Islander ancestry, who trace their origins to the countries, states, jurisdictions and/or the diasporic communities of these geographic regions,” according to the Asian Pacific Institute.
The AAPI experience is as diverse as the constellation of cultures that form it. AAPI is an umbrella term that includes over 100 languages in addition to English, and includes nearly 50 ethnic groups from East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Pacific Islands and their diasporas. Asia is the largest continent and consists of around 50 countries with more than 4 billion people, and the World Bank's Pacific Island member countries have a combined population of about 2.3 million people.
Optional - Parent Input for Student Placement
The purpose of this form is for us to gain insight and knowledge about your child in order to place them in a classroom that best serves their needs as a learner for the 2023-24 school year.
Please do not send an additional email. This is the place to share anything you would like administration to know regarding your child's placement for the upcoming school year.
This is not a specific teacher request form. All of our Stone Ranch teachers are talented and highly qualified. Please take note : Requests by teacher name will not be honored and the form will be void. This opportunity will be open for all parents/guardians through May 14th 12:00noon.
