Extended Day Program Newsletter
January 19, 2016
Dear Colleagues,
This past week we took the middle school honor roll students from LGA-M and VLMA-M on a field trip to the San Diego Zoo for a behind the scenes tour. Thank you to the staff for ensuring optimal student safety of our students and ensuring students followed school rules and expectations.
This week we will continue to update Early Release forms. Some families might be inquiring about applying for the 2016-2017 school year. We will be accepting applications the week of March 8 and March 15. Once the school site auditioriums have been secured you will receive the marketing materials.
Below you will find some resources to share with staff to ensure we are implementing engaged, active, and meaningful opportunities for our students.
Thank you for being a champion for active and engaged learning!
Have a great week!
Christine
