May 2021 Vol. 1
May Announcement
In March we continued our Hybrid and Virtual Academy programs, we began our ELPAC testing, and we had spring picture days. We also had many engaging events for you such as inviting the Riverside County Health Officer, Dr. Geoffrey Leung, to our monthly Parent University meeting who provided us with the latest information regarding COVID-19. Now, we're entering our last month of the 2020-2021 school year where we close it out with many events and of course requests from parents to make the upcoming school year successful. We'll begin by informing you that ELPAC test will resume for our English learner students until the end of the month. In addition, we will begin our iReady assessment in all grade levels. It is important that students try their best for this third attempt as we will be using the results of these diagnostic tests to inform our instructional program support for your child.
We also want to inform you that we will be having a promotion celebration for Kinder and Fifth-grade students in the last week of school. We are in the process of planning for it and we will provide you more information in the upcoming Volume 2 of our Newsletter. So stay tuned!
Finally, please try to view this week's board meeting, as information will be shared regarding Arlanza's new principal for the 2021-2022 school year. There is information on events, Summer Academy Boot Camp, Kinder Registration, Student Technology Return, and more further down on this Newsletter, so please read on. We would like to wish you a very happy month of May, be safe, and stay healthy.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cortez, and Ms. Elliott
