Welcome Steve Margulies to our Special Education Department
We shared this information with Parents this weekend...
Placerita Is a Title I School
Title I
What is Title I?
Title 1, Part A, is a federally funded program which provides services to schools based on student economic needs. Title I is designed to support state and local school reform efforts tied to challenging state academic standards to improve teaching and learning, and to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Title I schools jointly develop a written parental involvement policy with parents each year called the School-Parent Compact.
In the William S. Hart Union High School District, eight schools are eligible to receive Title I funds and implement schoolwide programs as a part of the Elementary and School Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 (NCLB), and the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA).
Parent involvement is critical in support of student achievement. Each school provides opportunities for families to be engaged and involved in their child’s education to support student learning. Parents are encouraged and invited to become partners in education with each school, contributing valuable ideas, input, and feedback throughout the year which is used to revise school site plans annually.
Parents are encouraged to maintain regular two-way communication with school staff regarding issues involving student learning and successful participation in school-sponsored programs. Parents should also play an active role in assisting their student with academic learning at home, and monitoring their student’s progress.

This is a good complement to our Kindness week info...
August 22, 2019 By Dave Stuart Jr.
Then you’ve got to be kind to people when they’re mean or rude to you.
This is how the virtues strengthen: not by doing them when they’re easy, but by doing them when they’re hard.
Consider:
- You cannot get braver unless you do what needs to be done when what needs to be done makes you scared.
- You cannot become more purpose-driven unless you call to mind the purpose of your work when it’s the last thing in the world you’d like to think about.
- You cannot become more curious until you start asking questions where naturally you wouldn’t.
- You cannot get more discerning until you start trying to get to the bottom of complex matters.
Your character — your “relatively constant will,” as the late philosophy professor Dallas Willard defined it — is honed not through ease but through struggle.
