May It Be of Benefit
Hello Families,
We are winding down the 20/21 school year, and I am SO proud of what we've done this year. In spite of the pandemic and in contrast to what most California schools did, we were able to have students come to school and receive direct instruction from a teacher most of the school year. That makes a difference which will be reflected in your children's report cards but more importantly in their lifetime learning success. Though most students are not where they would have been "sans pandemic", they did show wonderful growth this year.
But, we cannot let up. We must do all that we can to shore up the foundation. I am pleased that so many of our families that were offered our Summer Scholars (one month of summer learning) took advantage of it. We have about 30 SM students who will extend their learning from June 14th through July 13th.
Also, I am excited to be able to give each student a "Summer Backpack" filled with games, flashcards, and what educators call "summer bridge" activities to give them more opportunity to reinforce math and reading basic skills over the summer.
And, finally, we look forward to returning to an in-person, full-day schedule next school year (with only Monday minimum day). Of course, all plans for the 21/22 school year are still uncertain as they depend on state and county health department guidelines, but in-person and full-day are two things I am feeling confident about. Please see the article below for more information about a home school option for those who do not wish to attend school in person.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Gold

As for hardware, each computer should have 2GB RAM and at least 10GB of free harddrive space. Students need to use either Mac or Windows computers, no iPads or tablets as they don’t support the needed software to setup your workspace.

In person classes will be held at our downtown campus 1400 Market Street, room 8111 (1st floor)
