Dear Vintage Hills Families!

Dear Vintage Hills Families!

We have continued this week with our school-wide focus on empathy. There are numerous children's books that focus on empathy! Here is a website that includes a few examples, many that can be found as read-alouds on YouTube like this one: The Invisible Boy.


Thank you to those of you who could join us for Open House! It was so wonderful to see the excitement and pride on our students’ faces as they shared their classrooms, assignments, and projects with you!


Mrs. Zickefoose and Mrs. Stephens

Social Studies Curriculum Adoption Feedback Opportunity

TVUSD engages in an ongoing cycle of reviewing our curriculums to ensure that they continue to align with our district goals, current learning standards, teaching practices, and the rapidly changing associated technologies. This year we created a team of teachers from every grade level, at every school site, to review and pilot new history social science curriculums. This pilot team had the opportunity to review the updated History Social Science Framework (adopted in 2016), and The Fair Education Act (adopted in 2012). They also received presentations from 4 publishers on the California Department of Education’s approved curriculum list prior to selecting TCI and Studies Weekly as the two curriculums TVUSD would pilot. After piloting each curriculum for 9 weeks, our pilot team reconvened to make a collaborative recommendation to the school board for adoption approval.


As a parent or guardian of an elementary school student, we are interested in your feedback. The materials have been available for public review at the District Office, and we recognize the need to make them more accessible to you. Both of these curriculums are also available at our school site. If you would like to come review both curriculums, please note that we will ask you to sign-in through our Raptor system, and we will ask you to complete a Google Form following your review of the instructional materials. Your input will be collected and used as part of the process in selecting the best curriculum to support history social science standards for TVUSD elementary students.
