CELDT Testing Schedule...
CELDT Testing
CELDT testing continues next week. We have a sub to help us and he and Morelia will be pulling from Grades 5, 4 and 3. We will try to send you an email before we start pulling kids from your class, but that will not always be possible.
Setting Reading Goals
In addition, I am requiring for ALL classes to set class &
K-2nd - EDL & DRA goals are acceptable, but SRI goals are HIGHLY encouraged.
3-5 - SRI & EDL/DRA goals are required for all class/individual.
As we are also concluding our EDL/DRA assessments, I also want to see that you begin setting your reading groups. More to come on this. We will have time during a Wednesday PD to get some of this work done.
I want to see that you have your class reading goal displayed in your classroom. ALL students must know their reading level & know their own independent reading goal.
Deadline: Friday, October 9th.

~Safe & Welcoming Environment~
3 Year TRO
As you know, I went to court on 9/25 in regards to the 2014-2015 repeated intruder on campus. The judge awarded the Manzanita Campus a 3-year Temporary Restraining Order.
If you see this young man on campus, please do not hesitate to inform the office staff immediately. The safety & well being of our students and staff is a top priority.

Kevin Parker Mission: "To go out to the community, I tell my story to the kids,” K.P. says. “You know, I tell them to not ever run from anything, ask for help. It’s hard as a man to have that issue — reading and writing problems — and need to ask people for help. It’s tough — but, you know, it’s not worth it that you try to take your life over it.”
Here is the schedule:
- 12pm- Cal players Check-in
- 12pm-12:45pm Cal players engages recess with students on the playground
- 12:45-1:30pm- Cal players Q&A and autographs+photos.( At the turf field)
Thank you Kevin Parker for making this happen.
Profiling SEED in Innovative Public School Report
I wanted to share with you that SEED will be showcased in the upcoming report of Innovative Public Schools in Silicon Valley for building parent & community partnerships. We are one of 1/2 a dozen schools in the Bay Area highlighted as exemplars of world-class schools in the area of family engagement.
According to Peter Mcelroy, Research & Policy Manager, they did a thorough screen of the area schools.
The outcome of all this will be a website, created with both educators and parents in mind, which will provide both abstract principles and concrete examples of great schools in action.
Congratulations for your important role & your contributions to make this school stand out!
Recognizing SEED's Dual Language work!
The ELLMA office is presenting to principals on Thursday, October 1st and they would like to open by highlighting dual language schools and SEED was chosen! Congratulations!

Community Service, anyone?
A neighborhood skilled nursing facility is interested in having some visits with children for their residents - a great community service project for our little ones and a great experience for the residents. They are especially interested in a Halloween parade to their facility with children in costumes. Interested? Please contact Nancy for further details. Thanks, Nancy!
