Thank you for joining us for our virtual back-to-school night this week. We enjoyed connecting with you virtually. I encourage you to join our PTA and consider running for a parent seat on our school site council. We love working with our families on projects and practices that will benefit our students. Please see this week's updates below.

Best,

Nicole Van Wilgen Moore

Principal

Anaheim Hills Elementary School is in the process of electing members to the School Site Council (SCC) for the 2021-2022 school year. The SSC is required for schools receiving categorical funds. These funds are used to supplement the regular school program. The purpose of the SSC is to develop and approve the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA); which is a comprehensive plan designed to improve the effectiveness of the school program. In order to accomplish this task, the SSC meets a minimum of four times a year to assess student needs, develop and approve the SPSA including categorical budgets, and monitor its implementation.

Members of the SSC include the principal, classroom teachers, other staff members, and parents. Members of the SSC are elected by their peers. Therefore, parents are elected by parents. Three parents are needed this year. One parent must be a parent of an English Language Learner. A member serves for two years.

If you are interested in being a member of the SSC, please fill out this nomination form no later than Wednesday, September 1, 2021. After all nominations are in, an electronic ballot will be sent via email for all parents to be able to vote. The three parents with the highest number of votes will serve on the SSC.

We need your help in making our arrival and dismissal safer and quicker. We encourage car pick up @ dismissal if possible.

Arrival

• For those driving, please remain in your cars as you drop your children off.
• For those walking, please do not pass the walking zone.
• Only children attending AHES are allowed on the sidewalks in front of the AHES campus.
• Please drop off your children at the oldest child's drop-off time.

Dismissal

• Please arrive at your oldest child's pick-up time. Do not arrive prior to that time. Remind your oldest child to stand with your youngest, so you have one pick-up.
• If you are here early, we will ask you to exit and rejoin the parking lot line.
  
• Please make sure to display your child's car tag in your car (with the child's first and last name, and the teacher's last name).
• Continue to move along the parking lot line along the curb, do not stop until there is no more space in front of you to stop. We will get your child to you no matter where you end up in the line.
• If you are a walking family, please help us by having your child's sign with you. As well as notifying your child which walking gate you will be at so they know ahead of time.
