We are still in need of a parent to be a part of our School Site Council.
A school that operates a categorical program funded through the consolidated application (ConApp) shall establish a school site council (SSC) if such program requires a School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) (California Education Code [EC] Section 65000[b]).
The School Site Council reviews and establishes programing students and an academic plan for the school.
Families if a student forgets their ipad at home we will call the families to bring the ipad to school. We want to make sure the students practice being responsible with their technology.
*Reminder to complete your Annual Information Review forms online ASAP! We want to be one of the first schools to have all of them completed. We need all families to complete this for us.
Go Wildcats!
