Message from Mrs. Post….

 

We have now completed four full days of school and as happens many times, the heat has been turned on in our lovely valley. Just when our students were enjoying being outside with their friends and playing tetherball, four square, volleyball, handball, etc., the heat starts. Hopefully, it will be a short heat spell. In the meantime, students are inside for quiet games and eat lunch in the air-conditioned MPR. Monday was the first day of this routine and our students did fairly well adjusting to it. As we always do, we monitor the weather and air quality through our district and have guidelines for our recess and lunch recess.

 

I’d like to say thank you to all of our parents who use valet in the morning and afternoons. We’ve added in the Kindergarten drop-off and pick-up so it took some adjustments and we continue to monitor the process. As the Kindergarten line finishes, I have started routing 1st and 2nd grade parents up through the upper parking lot near Childcare so that we can move more cars off the street. I have my custodians helping so please follow their instructions. Thank you and I know things will go faster and smoother as we all get used to the new procedures.

 

Our next challenge is the Minimum Day on Thursday for Back to School Night. Kindergarten will be dismissed at 12:20 p.m. with grades 1-6 at 12:35 p.m. Parents of students in grades 1-6, please try and arrive after 12:30 p.m. so we can dismiss Kindergarten first. If parents come too early for the later 12:35 p.m. dismissal, there will be more congestion. Again, your patience is much appreciated!

 

Thank you to Mrs. Ford, PTA volunteer parents, and valet students from last year. Our valet in the morning is going well and a new training for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students will be on Friday, September 3rd with Deputy Shoemaker. More information will be sent home in a flyer later this month.

 

Our phones have not been working as of Monday. We’ve received reports that while some calls did go through, at other times; the phone rang and rang with no one answering them. This has been reported to our IT department and our district. The IT department came out Monday afternoon to work on them but the system is now older and the district is replacing the system for the entire district. We will keep you updated on changes as the system is replaced.

 

Back to School Night is Thursday, August 19th at 6:30 p.m. Please go directly to classrooms that evening and a short broadcast will begin followed by presentations by your child’s teacher. There will be two sessions (both the same information) and so if you have more than one child in school, you will be able to attend at least two sessions. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday evening. There is no playground supervision and this night is set-aside for parents only.

 

Parking for Back to School Night: We will try to get as many cars in our lots as possible. We will need parking for staff but after that we will use the rest of the large lot, the Childcare lot, and the lot near the lunch area. After that, our custodians will be out there to direct you in parking along the curb where valet usually is located. We need to have the left lane open for through traffic, emergency vehicles, etc. Thank you!

 

Parents, we do need your help in the morning. We ask that children come to the playground through the single gate at the lunch area. Students will be directed to that gate as they exit their car in valet. If you are walking your child to the gate, please do not accompany them onto the yard. Our Campus Supervisors are there to supervise beginning at 7:50 a.m. With parents on the yard, it makes supervision more difficult. If you would like to visit the yard in the morning, you will need to sign in at the office and pick up a pass. Thank you for your help.

 

I’ve also been asked to remind everyone that the parking lot does have certain spaces designated for staff, district nurse, visitors, PTA President etc. These people come and go during the day and may leave campus for a short while only to return and find someone in their space. If you are parking in the lot due to school business and the visitor spaces are filled, please go to the far end as you will find many more spaces available. Thank you!

 

STAR Results are being sent home today. The staff and I were delighted to see such wonderful results from our students last May. We look forward to seeing the API (Academic Performance Index) score that will be due out in early September. Congratulations and thanks to our teachers and students for all their hard work last year. They have demonstrated outstanding achievement, and we move closer to the goal of all students achieving Proficient or Advanced as mandated in the No Child Left Behind Act.

 

PTA NEWS

FUNDRAISING – JOG-A-THON

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year!  I have some exciting news to share!  Due to the success of last year’s jog-a-thon, it will be our ONLY FUNDRAISING EFFORT this school year but we will have to cover our PTA expenses.  Are you aware the PTA funds field trips, school assemblies, the P.E. teacher, some computer software & hardware, as well as several other school events like Fall Festival, Health Week, Mother/Son-Father/Daughter outings, Teacher Appreciation, etc.? 

 The jog-a-thon will be held October 20th.  Our immediate need is to find corporate partners.  Can your business donate $250, $500, $1,000 or more towards our event?  It is tax-deductible and the corporate logo will be on the back of over 700 t-shirts, on a banner in front of our school and publicly recognized in the newsletter & website.  Interested businesses, please contact Lisa Maloney ASAP at lmaloney1@att.net.

 Thank you everyone!

Message from Mrs. Post….

 

The Tesoro staff and I look forward to seeing all of our students and their families at both the Science Fair and Open House this Thursday evening. Science Fair will be open from 5:30-6:30 p.m. There will be approximately two hundred science fair exhibits, and we hope you will take some time to see what our students have accomplished in science this year. At 6:30 p.m. the classroom doors will open to welcome you to Tesoro del Valle’s Open House. After visiting your child/children’s classrooms, please feel free to visit other classes and allow your child/children to see what they have to look forward to next year at the upcoming grade level. Some students enjoy going back to a former teacher’s classroom and visiting as well. We look forward to your visit this Thursday evening. As we’ve done in past years, the parking lots will be open for parking and once filled; we will then fill the valet line single file for parking at the curb.

 

Reminder: Thursday, May 20th is a Minimum Day as we prepare for Open House! Dismissal is at 12:45 p.m. for grades 1-6.

 

I extend many, many thanks to Mrs. Lisa Smith who has been diligent in her Science Fair Chairperson position. She has organized and coordinated the event for our students and teachers this year. Thank you to our PTA Chair and her volunteers who help with the organization of  the Science Fair each year. Thank you to our grade level chair teachers (Mrs. Kim Howard, Mrs. Christine Grosh, Mrs. Lori Turner, Mrs. Sarah Luckenbach, Mrs. Michelle White, Mrs. Michele Boron, and Mr. Andrew Rude) who have also assisted with the coordination of the fair.

 

STAR testing is officially finished and will be sent to the state via our district office. We will expect results in mid August. Thank you for encouraging your child/children to be well rested and ready to take the test each day. I’d like to say a special thank you to Mrs. Michelle White and Mrs. Diane Paterson who coordinated the testing schedules and materials. Their organization helped tremendously in making it a relatively stress free experience for the staff.

 

This week students are returning library books to the library. If your child has a book that belongs to the library, please be sure that he/she is responsible in returning the book as soon as possible. Students will still have classroom library books available and I hope that they will visit the Valencia Library all summer long as they have great children’s programs and activities.

 

If you are looking for more summer activities, classes, etc., don’t forget the Seasons catalog is filled with classes and events for children and adults. They are now enrolling on line and it’s a great way to keep busy all summer long.

 

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

It’s time to send another batch of Box Tops to General Mills.  Please send those small pieces of paper to school.  Some of them have 6/1/10 expiration, so we need to get those mailed in to the company.  During the first half of the school year, those tiny pieces of trash earned our school $339.80.  Every Box Top helps.

Thank you for taking the time to rip those Box Tops off the products, collect them, and send them to school.  Your participation in this program makes a difference.

DRINK POUCH BRIDGADE

 

Did you know that all of those drink pouches that our children consume (like Capri Sun, Kool-Aid, etc.) can be recycled?  They can!  So start saving your empty drink pouches because Tesoro has joined the Drink Pouch Brigade!  Simply remove the straw and remaining liquid, flatten the pouch, and send them to school with your student through the rest of the year.  Let's do our part to keep these drink pouches out of our landfills and make a little money ($0.02 per pouch) for our school! 

 

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL

 

Let's celebrate our community's diversity!  On Friday, June 4th, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the PTA will host our International Festival.  Join the fun as we spotlight different cultures through dance, music, and food.  Students in each grade level will be performing a specific ethnic folk dance taught during their P.E. class at school.  These student dances will be the opening act for the festival.  We will be offering "A Taste of the World" in which you can purchase cultural foods from our local restaurants.  In addition, we will have an "International Cafe" where families can bring homemade or store bought desserts from their culture to share with others.  We will have a professional Hollywood dance troop perform and, to complete the evening, a DJ for our "World Groove" where families can dance to contemporary, international music.  If you would like to be a part of this exciting event, please contact Lisa Bomben at mamalisa@ca.rr.com

 

FOOD DRIVE

 

This is our last month for the food drive.  Let’s make an extra effort this month to fill the bins as our local food pantry will have fewer donations as the schools close down for the summer.  We will be collecting peanut butter, jelly and juice boxes for the month of May. 

 

Thank you.

Message from Mrs. Post….

 

STAR Testing continues through the end of this week. Grades 4 and 6 finish testing on Tuesday while grades 2, 3, and 5 finish on Thursday. Those students who need to makeup tests will complete their testing on Friday this week, or Monday next week. Testing will be packed up and sent to the district office on Tuesday, May 18th.  Our students and teachers have done a great job preparing all year, and I’m sure our students are doing their best each day. Results will be sent home in August (mailed to former 6th graders).

 

The first grade program, “A Habitat is a Home” was a delightful performance by our first grade classes. Thank you to the first grade students and their teachers (Mrs. Kirk, Mrs. Palomino, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Grosh, and Mrs. Conley) who worked so hard to help their children prepare for this educational and entertaining performance.

 

The staff and I would like to reward all our Tesoro Tigers for their outstanding efforts to raise money for technology through the Jog-a-Thon. We’ve decided that a Movie Matinee on Friday, May 21st would be a fun treat for them. Our teachers will be choosing an appropriate G rated movie for their students. Congratulations and again, thank you to all our students

and their parents for helping with the recent fundraiser for our school.

 

Congratulations to our recent Math Honors students in 6th grade: Peter Christiansen, Bryan Kim, Andy Jung, Connor Lewis, Noelle Min, Jaylan Smith, and Akshay Trisal. The sixth grade math honors exam is quite comprehensive. These students will be receiving an invitation to the District Awards Night to be held at Bridgeport Elementary on Tuesday, May 18th at 7:00 p.m.

 

Reminder: Sixth grade parents and students are invited to Rio Norte this Thursday evening for the Rio Norte Round-Up from 5-8:00 p.m. What a great opportunity to visit and see your new school for next year!

 

Reminder: This Friday, May 14th is a minimum day and dismissal is at 12:45 p.m. for students in grades 1-6. AM and PM Kindergartners will attend in the morning with dismissal at 11:35 a.m.

 

Friday, May 14th is our final PTA assembly of the year. Performances will be at 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.  The assembly is called, Dos Amigos, Two Friends! As always, parents are welcome to attend. Thank you to our PTA for funding all the assemblies this year. They’ve been not only fun but educational! Thank you again, Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Loving.

Let's celebrate our community's diversity!  On Friday, June 4th, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the PTA will host our International Festival.  Join the fun as we spotlight different cultures through dance, music, and food.  Students in each grade level will be performing a specific ethnic folk dance taught during their P.E. class at school.  These student dances will be the opening act for the festival.  We will be offering "A Taste of the World" in which you can purchase cultural foods from our local restaurants.  In addition, we will have an "International Cafe" where families can bring homemade or store bought desserts from their culture to share with others.  We will have a professional Hollywood dance troop perform and, to complete the evening, a DJ for our "World Groove" where families can dance to contemporary, international music.  If you would like to be a part of this exciting event, please contact Lisa Bomben at mamalisa@ca.rr.com

 

FOOD DRIVE

 

This is our last month for the food drive.  Let’s make an extra effort this month to fill the bins as our local food pantry will have fewer donations as the schools close down for the summer.  We will be collecting peanut butter, jelly and juice boxes for the month of May. 

 

Thank you.

Message from Mrs. Post….

 

STAR Testing begins on Wednesday, May 5th and continues through next week. As we’ve told our students, these tests are a measure of what you’ve learned this year and it would be impossible to study for these tests. This week testing will take place on Wednesday and Thursday but not on Friday. Next week testing continues through Thursday with make-ups through the 17th. Testing will begin at 8:30 a.m. and be concluded by recess time. Should your child be ill, please do not send him/her to school. They will have time to make up a test if it’s prior to May 17th.  If a child is tardy and testing has started in his/her class, he/she will be asked to wait in the office until after the testing is over that day. He/she will then need to make-up the test at a later date.

 

Student Council held a STAR Pep Rally last Friday and each grade level participated with their own cheer to encourage students to be a “PAWS-itive” Test Taker. Each cheer was clever and fun. It gave students an opportunity to share some good test taking tips to remember. You might have seen the “goodie” bags sent home for students as well. Thank you to our Student Council for preparing all these fun activities and “goodie bags”.

 

Today is Teacher Appreciation Day and we honor our wonderful teachers here at Tesoro del Valle as well as all teachers around our nation (National Day of the Teacher). I hope you and your child will take some time today to thank a teacher who has made a difference for your. Thank you to our PTA volunteers who treated our teachers and staff to a special breakfast and luncheon today.

 

The Tesoro staff and I wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms and grandmas. How thankful we are to all of you for your love and guidance each and every day. While some of our moms are no longer with us, they will always be in our minds and hearts as we remember them each day! Hugs to each of you for always being there!

 

I would like to extend a special thank you to Mrs. Lisa Maloney, room parents, and parent volunteers for all their hard work and enthusiasm in making the Jog-a-Thon a huge success last Wednesday morning. At last count, the PTA has raised over $17,500.00 from this fun event. Thank you to everyone who participated in organizing, running, cheering, etc. We all had a wonderful time!

 

Last Wednesday morning was a bit chaotic as we hurried to school to find out if the Jog-a-Thon might be cancelled due to the overnight escape from the jail to the north of us. The Sherrif’s Department was fantastic in keeping the district and us informed as to what we needed to do and what activities could happen. The situation was monitored throughout the day, and we received emails and school visits from both the Sheriff’s Department and our district Safety and Risk Management Director, Keith Karzin. It was very reassuring to have a patrol car and officer visible either in our lot or on the street in front of our school. We are very appreciative to the Tesoro del Valle parents who are part of the SCV Sheriff’s Department as they watch over Tesoro del Valle School and Community. Thank you, Sheriff Deputies for keeping us safe!

Message from Mrs. Post….

 

If you had time this weekend, perhaps you were able to attend the SCV Cowboy Festival! Perhaps you saw two of our fifth graders from Mrs. Boron’s class reading their poetry entries on stage on Sunday. Wow! Bethanie Rider, earned 1st place and Marty Lange, earned 2nd place in the Cowboy Poetry Contest. All of Mrs. Boron’s class entered and I congratulate all of them for their participation in the contest. You represented Tesoro del Valle well. Thank you!

 

Last Wednesday evening, we were treated to the premiere of the new third grade musical, Vacation on Mars! It was a wonderful evening and boy, can those third graders sing! Thank you to our teachers, students and parent volunteers for making the evening such a delightful one.

 

This Wednesday evening we look forward to the second grade Ancestry Presentation Night at 6:00 p.m. As you know this activity is part of their study of ancestry and supports the State Social Studies Standards. We know it will be an interesting evening.

 

Don’t forget that this Thursday morning Tesoro del Valle will be participating in a Disaster Drill starting at 8:30 a.m. The drill should take approximately 45 minutes and no one will be in the office to answer phones, so please keep this in mind. We encourage students to wear sunscreen and hats, as they will be outside. Teachers will have quiet activities for the students while the drill is taking place. Should you need to check your child out for an appt., please follow the instructions on the disaster pamphlet you were provided with earlier this year. (If you’ve misplaced the pamphlet, remember that student checkout is at the Child Care gate.)

So far the pledges for Jog-a-Thon are over $8,000.00 and students are ready to jog this Wednesday. Thank you to Mrs. Lisa Maloney for the encouragement and hard work in organizing this event. We are hopeful that we can replace some aging computers in our computer lab and classrooms and to assist with technology throughout our school. All students and teachers were given t-shirts for this event. Please remind your child to wear the t-shirt the day of the event. Thank you to all the sponsors of this important event.

Message from Mrs. Bogosian

As you are all aware, our 2009 API score of 877 is an increase of 55 points from our 2008 score.  Recently the Statewide and Similar Schools Rankings were released.  I am extremely proud to announce that we improved from our Statewide Ranking of 7 and our Similar Schools Ranking of 3 to a 9 and 9!  Emblem Eagles continue to “Soar to New Heights!”

 

Recently I have heard the question, “Why continue to support Emblem when it is not my school anymore?” I know that during the next 4 weeks we will all be thinking about the changes that we are facing in the new school year.  Some of us will be remaining with Emblem at Highlands while others are off to experience other schools.  The important thing to concentrate on this last month of school is that we are all Emblem Eagles until June 11th.  I have always been amazed by the incredible amount of participation and support shown by our families.  When you attend one of our events, you would never know that we are such a small school.  I sincerely hope that our “Little School with the Big Heart” will continue to be just that until the bell rings on the last day of school.  We have some have some fun and exciting events planned to culminate our year including Family Picnic and Field Day.  I know that our Emblem Family will work together and make this last month of school a great experience for our students.  Whether you have been with us for one year or seven, you have all helped to make Emblem such a special school.  Once you have been here you are “Always an Eagle”!

 

Intra-District Transfers

All Intra-District transfer requests (including Bouquet Canyon and Emblem Schools) will be considered final as of June 1, 2010. Students who have requested more than one school and have not selected one will be assigned to their home school area.  Students wishing to return to their home school area after June 1, 2010 may do so based on space availability only.  They may be referred to other schools for the 2010-11 school year if space is unavailable at the requested grade level.
