Fourth grade field trip, Sierra Outdoor School, Sonora, May 18 May 20

Fourth grade students will be attending Sierra Outdoor School to experience aspects of California Historyand science in a natural setting. All permission slips and payments should have been given to the teachersby now. Additional information was sent home to parents or guardians of students who confirmedattendance. This information includes a list of supplies needed and a form requesting medical and dietary

information. Again, the cost for each student is $162 for the two nights. We ask that all fourth gradeparents/guardians pay whatever they can afford toward the cost of the trip. If you are unable to pay thetotal cost, please notify Principal Wilson to let her know the amount you would like the school to

pay.Please make your checks payable to LeConte PTA.

Fifth Grade Promotion, Tuesday, June 14

The program begins at 7:00PM in our auditorium. Families of our fifth grade students will receive moreinformation about this event and student expectations before the end of the month.

Physical Education ClassesSince we have had so much rain, students have been having their PE classes inside the auditorium. Thisworks out fine for shelter but because of surface of the floor can be slippery if students are not wearing

rubber soles or tennis shoes. Students do a lot of running during PE so its really important that they wearshoes that allow for physical activity. Sandals, flip flops, shoes with open toes and heels are notappropriate for PE and can be hazardous when students are playing during recess as well. We encourageyou to have your child wear closed toe, rubber soled shoes daily, or to have them available for PE class.The schedule of classes is attached.

Truancy Letters

If you received a letter in the mail about your child being truant, it means that your child was absent forthree or more days or your child was over 30 minutes late three or more times. These letters areautomatically printed every month. All schools are required to send these letters to families to inform theparent or guardian of the concern about students missing instruction and to remind families to submit anote or call the secretary or teacher whenever the child is ill. If your child missed school because s/he wasill, please submit a note again and please give it directly to our school secretary, Marie. If your child wasabsent because s/he was on independent study, then please ignore the letter until the issue about theIndependent Study Program has been resolved. To date, the use of independent study to document anabsence is still unclear.

Also, please note that our school loses up to $35 per day each time students are absent. Attendance isespecially crucial since we rely on the State to support our districts budget.

Support Tamales los Mayas

If youve ever eaten some of the tasty tamales provided during the PTA meetings, then you willunderstand why we are supporting Alicia Villanueva. Alicia is not only the wonderful mother of twoLeConte students but also a new entrepreneur. She has realized her dream to launch Tamales Los Mayas,a mobile tamale cart.

LECONTE LEADERSHIP COMMITTEES

School Governance Council (SGC) next meeting: Wednesday, May 11

Most of last months meeting was spent discussing goals for our 2011-2012 School Site Plan for StudentAchievement. Every spring, schools are required to complete and submit a plan to the school board. TheSGC committee is responsible for helping to develop this plan. The plan has three major BUSD goals thatare related to student achievement and parent involvement. The final plan will be completed by April 30.The group also approved purchase of Response Cards which are a type of remote control device used bystudents to complete multiple choice and short answer assessments. The value of using this technology isthat teachers will now be able to not only track students progress but also obtain and analyze results fromassessments immediately. This data will be used to help teachers adapt instruction to the needs of thestudents.

PTA General Meeting, next meeting: May 18, 5:45 dinner, meeting 6:00

New PTA officers were established for the upcoming school year as follows:

Open position - secretary Open position - room parent coordinator Elena Topete and Karen Meckstroth - After School Programs Coordinator

Newly elected board member, Josh Daniels, attended the meeting. He discussed concerns about thepending budget, his role as a board member, and the chain of communication for parent concerns.Questions were asked about teacher evaluation and possible layoffs. Teachers are evaluated every other

year by the school principal. The process includes three formative evaluations (how the teacher is doingbased on suggestions and recommendations) and one summative evaluation (final documentation andrating of performance). If teachers receive an overall unsatisfactory evaluation, then the teacher can bereferred to the Peer Assistance Review (PAR) board. The following year, the teacher may be assigned amentor who will help the teacher reflect on and improve her/his practices based on the CaliforniaTeaching Standards. As of this date, no teachers have received layoff notices. All teachers hired thisschool year, 2010-11, have a temporary contract which means they are not guaranteed a position for thenext school year. We may not know the status of these teachers until mid May or later depending upon thefinal budget from the State.

GENERAL INFORMATION

As you may know, schools receive funding based on the number of students who attend each day. Theamount per child is between $32 and $35 dollars. Though the amount may appear small, it adds up whenseveral students are absent throughout the school. Within the guidelines of the State, students must arriveat school on time to be counted as present. Therefore, it is not only important that your child come to

school but also that your child be on time. When you make doctor or dentist appointments for your child,please try to make the appointment after 9:30AM, so that your child can be counted as attending school.Also, please write a note or contact your childs teacher to explain all absences. Our school secretary isrequired to maintain and turn in notices of all excused absences. Finally, please note that you willautomatically receive a truancy letter if your child is chronically 30 minutes late to school meaning s/hearrived at 8:41AM or later. If the pattern continues, three letters will be sent home and then the parent orguardian will be required to attend a Student Attendance Review Meeting at the site and then districtlevel.
