Luis Cruz
We have been given the opportunity to attend professional development by Luis Cruz. I would like to offer the opportunity to our staff to attend this professional development experience. I will need to pay for those attending and will need a commitment soon. The PD will be held at Winthrop University on June 30. If you are able and would like to attend, I will pay your registration. Please send me an email and I will add you to the list. Below is a brief bio of Dr. Cruz.
Luis F. Cruz, PhD, is former principal of Baldwin Park High School, located east of Los Angeles, California. He has been a teacher and administrator at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Dr. Cruz presents on methods from the best-selling book Transforming School Culture by Anthony Muhammad.
In 2007, Dr. Cruz led a collective effort to secure a $250,000 grant for Baldwin Park from the California Academic Partnership Program for the purpose of effectively utilizing “courageous leadership” to promote a more equitable and effective organization.
Since becoming a public school educator, Dr. Cruz has won the New Teacher of the Year, Teacher of the Year, Administrator of the Year, and other community leadership awards. He and a committee of teacher leaders at Baldwin Park received California's prestigious Golden Bell Award from the California School Boards Association for significantly closing the achievement gap between the general student population and students learning English as a second language.
As a recipient of the Hispanic Border Leadership Institute's fellowship for doctoral studies, he earned a doctorate in institutional leadership and policy studies from the University of California Riverside. He earned an associate's degree from Mount San Antonio Community College, a bachelor's degree from California State University, Fullerton, and a master's degree from Claremont Graduate University.
Employee Climate Results
Kids in Crisis
Also, if you hear over the radio that we "have a runner." This is an indication that there is an adult keeping watch over that child. Using the same premise as above, stick your head in the hall, if possible, to see if a child runs by. Ask the monitoring staff member if they need support if you are able to provide it and then return to your normal routine.
We are very blessed to have a faculty filled with staff who have an "all hands on deck" mentality. It is difficult to walk away from a student in crisis and the adult managing that situation. Please know that you have the freedom and flexibility to help if needed and to walk away if the situation warrants.
Thank you for all you do!
Mackey Health Screenings
The Appointment Sheet for the health screening by Mackey Family Practice on February 21 has been posted in the office on the bulletin board beside the teacher boxes. Please sign up if you wish to have the screening. Three people may sign up for the same time.
Jump Up Day
All fifth graders will attend a Jump Up Day this year. The purpose of Jump Up Day is to prepare students for the transition to middle school. All middle schools will structure this day the same and will give the same information to all students. Children may not attend Jump Up Day at their zoned school or their desired school of choice. Ms. Parks has permission slips and the list of which students will attend each Jump Up Day that she will send to teachers. The following days are our Jump Up Days.
February 12: Sullivan Middle School
February 13, Dutchman Creek Middle School
February 19: Rawlinson Road Middle School.
