News from the PTO!
Day of Service! This will be a day for parent volunteers to give their time completing different tasks for teachers. Teachers may need help with projects like copying and stapling, helping in the classroom, hanging assignments around campus, cutting out paper shapes for craft projects, etc. You can sign up for one-hour shifts on Konstella - stay for one hour, or stay for the whole day. We will have some light snacks and beverages in the PTO room while we work. This is a busy time of the year, so let’s pitch in to take a little bit off of teachers’ plates!

Resources for Military families!
Dear Military Families of Tierrasanta Elementary,
We are happy to have a school Military Family Life Counselor (Lars Nielsen) to support our military students and families. Lars can offer generalized support to you and your children, given military connected families often face unique stressors related to service. What this support looks like varies family-to-family, student-to-student, depending on your needs and wishes.
If you would like more information, have any questions or feel he may be of assistance to you or your child, please reach out to him at (619) 315-9141.
Listed below are several resources that provide a broad range of support to the Military community.

School Lunch will continue to be free for all students this year. We will have hot lunch served at school and the salad bar will be returning! Students are also welcome to bring their own lunches from home if preferred. School lunch menu here: Kids Choice Lunch_22-23SY [8.5x11] (sharpschool.com)
Traffic and safety reminders!
Morning Drop off- If you are using the morning drop off line please come from the Gabacho side and make a RIGHT turn into the parking lot. Turning left into the parking lot off La Cuenta causes a back up into the intersection where kids cross and frustrates drivers following the school rules and making a right hand turn as requested. Thank you!
Please do NOT ever park in or enter the lot with the solar panels. That is for staff only and it is extremely unsafe when cars come in and out with no where to turn around. The other large lot is open in the MORNINGS ONLY for drive thru drop off. The large lot is closed in the afternoon to everyone except those with a valid and visible handicap placard or sticker. Please park off campus and walk in to meet your children in the afternoon. Thank you for helping make our campus and streets safe for our students!
There is a free tutoring program available to students through the Brainfuse Company. This program is part of the California State Library systems and will connect you virtually to a live person that can help your child with most content areas from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Please click on the link below to explore this service.

Public schools throughout California are required to provide information about themselves to the community in the form of an annual School Accountability Report Card (SARC). These report cards provide a variety of data to allow the public to evaluate and compare schools in several important areas:
● demographic information
● school safety and climate for learning
● academic data
● class size
● teacher and staff information
● professional development
● fiscal and expenditure data
The SARC, which follows the state's guidelines and document template, are issued each spring and focus on the previous academic year. A SARC is typically 12- 14 pages long. I have attached an electronic copy of our site’s SARC for the 2020-21 school year. Hard copies of our SARC are also available in the main office. The 2020-21 SARC is available at https://www.sarconline.org/. You can also access our current SARC electronically at: https://sarconline.org/public/print/37683386089056/2020-2021
If you have any questions about our school’s SARC, please don't hesitate to contact me.
