Strings Concert (LCAP Goal 2):
This past week Ms. Miriam Oddie hosted a virtual strings concert with our students. Each student played a selected piece that they had practiced! Students were wonderful! It is such a joy to see our kids accessing music at school! Thank you Monterey County Strings and Ms. Oddie!
RTI at Work Conference (LCAP Goal 2):
This week a few of us were elated to participate in the second part of the RTI at Work virtual conference. Joaquin Garcia, Mallery Dedini, Kelly Yarborough and I attended. Again, we were thrilled to receive one on one assistance with Aaron Hansen and got questioned answered about not only our next steps but how we might make things work given our unique concerns! We look forward to sharing in January all of the amazing things we learned in greater detail.
One step we have already moved on is establishing RTI Tier 2 times for Math and ELA here at Gabilan! We will be working in January on next steps for refining our systems and are excited to re-launch the PLC process with a more focused lens.
Employees of the Month (LCAP Goal 5):
This month at Gabilan our two employees of the month are Adriel Reynoso and Leticia Rendon-Silva!
Adriel is our wonderful RSP teacher here at Gabilan and is always speaking from the viewpoint of what is best for our students! He is always pushing to improve his practices and services! He is kind and compassionate. He is a quick learner and works well with our team to ensure our students are receiving the best possible services! We are so fortunate to have him at Gabilan!
Letty has been holding the role of our substitute clerk-typist at Gabilan. She embodies what you might envision as a great employee! She is always the first to ask if she can help someone! She is so kind, innovative, self-motivated, student-centered and takes great initiative! We are so fortunate to have had her at Gabilan as we fill the position. She is such a gem!
Positive Office Referrals (LCAP Goal 2):
This past week, before Eagle Store, we were able to bring all of our students together who have received a Positive Office Referral and celebrate them! Students met with the principal, celebrated their great accomplishments/deeds and were given Golden Eagle Dollars! We are so proud of our Golden Eagles!
PBIS TFI/Group Interview (LCAP Goal 4):
This week, we completed our PBIS TFI and group interview process! It was wonderful to see the progress we have made as a school over the years to improve our PBIS programs! Special thanks to staff who answered questions during the TFI process! Additionally, a huge thank you to Elvia, Alma and Jeannine for making this process possible!
Sing-A-Long (LCAP Goal 4):
This afternoon, we were so incredibly fortunate to have a bit of normality to our December here at Gabilan! As keeping with our annual Gabilan tradition, Los Vicaros Traveling Band came out to bring joy to our Gabilan Golden Eagles at the Community Center! Students smiled from ear to ear underneath their masks as they sung with the holiday tunes! The Grinch and Santa even made an appearance! What a great way to send our students off to the vacation!

Our very own 6th grader, Diana Rizzo won the Coder Dojo Raffle for attending Coder Dojo classes! Congrats, Diana!
