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 11^th.  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”!

Message from Mrs. Bogosian

Last week, we welcomed back Kelley Atwater (now Powel) to our office!  She will be our office manager beginning Monday, May 3^rd when we say goodbye to Mrs. Medina as she starts her new position as office manager for West Creek.  We will all miss her very much!!

 

There has been an increasing amount of issues with students regarding exposure to inappropriate material on the internet and television at home that then becomes a problem here at school.  There have also been issues regarding the use of social networking sites.  Students have seen things on U-Tube and other sites that are not suitable for their age and then come to school and discuss them.  They also use Facebook and My Space as a way to talk about other students and in doing so post mean and hurtful things. Social Networking websites have age restrictions.  To join Facebook you must be at least 13 years old and for My Space you must be 14.

 

All children, but especially the very young, should be supervised while browsing the Internet It is a good idea to periodically check their history to make sure they have only been on pre-approved sites.  I encourage you to let your children know that you will be doing this on a regular basis.

 The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. But that access can also pose hazards. For example, an 8-year-old might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke the child may be directed to a slew of websites that are not appropriate.  Children cannot wade through the hundreds of results they get when doing an internet search to find the sites that are kid friendly.  I encourage you to be aware of what your kids see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online

Students who arrive after testing begins cannot enter their classroom.  They will have to wait in the office until their class finishes that morning’s tests.  You can support your students by making sure that students get plenty of sleep, eat a breakfast that includes protein and arrive at school on time.  Testing will take place through May 18^th.

The Character Counts Pillar for February is Trustworthiness

Be honest – Don’t deceive, cheat or steal – Be reliable – do what you say you’ll do – Have the courage to do the right thing – Build a good reputation – Be loyal stand by your family, friends and country.

 

Message from Mrs. Bogosian

I have serious concerns about the large amount of tardies we have been experiencing this year.  When a child comes to school late, they need to catch up to what the rest of the class is doing.  The teacher needs to interrupt the lesson to assist the late student.  This affects the entire class.  We want our students to get into the habit of being on time for their commitments.  Being late on a regular basis can lead to the attitude that school is not important.  We appreciate your help in getting your students to school on time.  Next year school will start much earlier.  Please practice now by bringing your students to school as close to 8:00 a.m. as possible.

 

Students with more than three tardies in an attendance period will have a letter sent home.  If the tardies continue, parents will be asked to attend a meeting of the School Attendance Review Board.  Students may also be kept after school to make up the time they missed.

 

Absences

 If you have a student who will be absent from school, or will be coming to school late due to an appointment, it is important that you report the absence/tardy to the school office as soon as possible. You can do this by calling the “24-hour attendance phone line” at 297-8870. You may also email Mrs. Wright at lwright@saugus.k12.ca.us to let her know of your child’s absence. We appreciate your help in clearing your child’s absences.

Message from Mrs. Bogosian

Welcome back.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.  As we begin the New Year I would like to address the importance of consistent school attendance.  We have been experiencing an unusually large number of students with frequent absences and tardies this school year.

 

I was surprised to find that we had 53 absences on Monday and 28 absences today. Consistent school attendance has a direct affect on academic performance.  Also, for every day that a student is absent our school loses $32.39 in funding.  In just two days, absences cost our school a total of $2647.89. In light of the serious fiscal crisis that our district is facing due to state budget cuts, loses from absences hurt even more. We understand that sometimes an absence of other than illness is unavoidable, but we would appreciate that every effort be made to take family vacations and plan appointments during breaks, nonattendance days or minimum days.

 

 If you have a student who will be absent from school, or will be coming to school late due to an appointment, it is important that you report the absence/tardy to the school office as soon as possible. You can do this by calling the “24-hour attendance phone line” at 297-8870. You may also email Mrs. Wright at lwright@saugus.k12.ca.us to let her know of your child’s absence. We appreciate your help in clearing your child’s absences.

 

Community Meeting

On January 6, 2010 a community meeting will be held in the Emblem MPR at 7:00 P.M. to discuss the possible closure of Emblem school in the 2010-2011 school year.  District officials and school board members will be there to hear concerns, suggestions and answer questions.  You are highly encouraged to attend this meeting.

Message from Mrs. Bogosian

 Our district is facing a serious fiscal crisis bought on by cuts to our budget from the state.  We have had an $11.9 million loss of revenue this year and an $8.3 million dollar budget reduction for the 2010-11 school year is projected.

 

One of the cost saving measures being considered is the closing of two schools.   Our school is one of the schools being considered for temporary closure.  Thank you to all of the families that returned the survey and to the parents who were able to attend the community meeting where we discussed possible options.  If you wee unable to attend and would like to suggest a possible option feel free to email me at jbogosian@saugus.k12.ca.us.

 

The possible school closures will also be discussed at the school board facilities study session being held on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at the Saugus Union School District office.   School closures are also scheduled to be an agenda item for the January 26, 2010 school board meeting.  These meetings are open to the public.

 

It is very important that we remain positive and work as a team to formulate possible solutions and options.  We must remain focused on our primary mission which is to ensure your students have the best possible school year.

El Pilar del Carácter Cuenta para Diciembre es Cuidar

Sea bondadoso. Sea compasivo y demuestre interés. Exprese gratitud. Perdone a los demás. Ayude a las personas necesitadas.

 

Mensaje de Mrs. Bogosian

  Nuestro distrito esta pasando por una seria crisis fiscal, ocasionada por los cortes en el presupuesto del estado. Hemos tenido $ 11.9 millones de pérdida de ingresos este año y se proyecta una reducción del presupuesto para el año 2010-11 escolar de unos $ 8.3 millones.

 

 Una de las medidas para reducir el costo que están siendo consideradas, es el cierre de dos escuelas. Nuestra escuela es una de las que está siendo considerada de cerrar temporalmente. Muchas gracias a todas las familias que llenaron y entregaron la encuesta y a los padres que fueron a la junta de la comunidad donde discutimos las posibles opciones. Si no pudo asistir a la junta y le gustaría sugerir una posible opción, mándeme un email a jbogosian@saugus.k12.ca.us

La posibilidad de cierre de las escuelas también será discutida en la sección de estudios de las instalaciones de la mesa directiva de educación, el Martes, 12 de Enero del 2010 en la oficina del Distrito de Saugus. También se volverá a hablar del cierre de las escuelas en la junta de la mesa directiva de educación el 26 de Enero del 2010. Estas juntas son abiertas al público.

Es muy importante que permanezcamos positivos y trabajemos en equipo para encontrar posibles opciones y soluciones. Debemos permanecer enfocados en nuestra mision principal que es la de asegurar que nuestros estudiantes tengan el mejor año escolar posible.

Message from Mrs. Bogosian

Regular school attendance is vital to your student’s progress.  It is difficult to make up for lost lessons and learning opportunities.  While it is important that you keep your children home when they are truly ill, we ask that you schedule your family events and trips on days when there is no school.  The only excused absences are for illness. Minimum days are scheduled for one Friday each month.  Please schedule doctor and dentist appointments on minimum days or in the afternoon.  Thank you.

Mensaje de Mrs. Bogosian

Asistencia regular es crucial para el progreso de su hijo.  Es my difícil recuperar las lecciones que no han recibido y la oportunidades para aprender.  Aunque es importante que su hijo se quede en la casa cuando es en realidad esta enfermo, pedimos que planee sus eventos familiares y vacaciones sobre dias que no hay clases.  La unica ausencia aceptada es por enfermedad.  Dias cortos son programados para un viernes cada mes.  Por favor arregle sus citas para el doctor y para el dentista para los dias cortas o por la tarde.   Gracias.

Message from Mrs. Bogosian

Recently many teachers have come to me with concerns regarding the number of students not doing their homework.  Homework is necessary to reinforce your child’s school work and to teach them responsibility.  Making homework a family commitment can help your child develop lifelong study skills, self discipline and independence.  Please check your student’s binder reminder each night and ask your student to show you the finished homework.  If he/she is having trouble with the homework, contact the teacher.  If your student consistently tells you he/she does not have homework it would be a good idea to check with the teacher to be sure.

 

I tell students that there are three parts to homework.

ü      Bring all necessary materials home

ü      Complete the assignments

ü      Bring the work back to school. 

If any of these three things do not get done then the homework has not been completed.  Getting in the habit of doing this each night will greatly benefit students as they move into the upper grades and into Jr. High and High School.

Mensaje de Mrs. Bogosian

Recientemente, varias maestras me han platicado preocupadas por la cantidad de estudiantes que no hacen la tarea. La tarea es necesaria para reforzar lo que el niño ha aprendido en la escuela y para enseñarles  a ser responsables. Haciendo de la tarea un compromiso familiar, logrará que su niño desarrolle habilidades de estudio para toda su vida, además de disciplina e independencia. Por favor revise cada noche la carpeta recordatoria del estudiante y pídale que le muestre la tarea terminada. Si su hijo/a tiene problemas con la tarea por favor comuníquese con el maestro. Si el estudiante, consistentemente le dice que no tiene tarea, seria una buena idea comunicarse con el maestro para estar seguro.

 

Yo les digo a los estudiantes que hay tres partes en la tarea.

·          Traer todos los materiales necesarios a la casa

·          Completar el trabajo asignado

·          Traer el trabajo completo a la escuela.

Si alguna de estas tres cosas no se cumplen, significa que la tarea está incompleta. Acostumbrándose a hacer esto cada noche, beneficiará enormemente a los estudiantes a medida que pasan a los grados más altos y al Junior High y High School.

Principal’s Message

Flu season has arrived.  I hope you will take the time to read the flu information sheet sent home in today’s Tuesday Folder.  Two important things are emphasizing the importance of hand washing with your child and keeping sick children home at least until they have been fever free without fever reducing medication for 24 hours.  Please remember to call the school office and report your child’s absence when they are out of school.

 

Starting Nov. 2^nd we will be implementing a new lunch schedule called Recess Before Lunch.  This schedule is being used nationwide and at several schools in Saugus with much success.  I have outlined information about this new schedule in a sheet found in the Tuesday Folder.

Mensaje de Mrs. Bogosian

Ha llegado la temporada de gripa. Espero que tome el tiempo de leer la hoja informativa sobre la gripa que se ha mandado hoy a su casa en la carpeta de los Martes. Dos cosas que hay que tener en cuenta es la importancia de lavarse las manos, especialmente los niños y mantener a su hijo en casa si está enfermo hasta que se le baje la temperatura por 24 horas sin medicamento. Por favor no se olvide de llamar a la escuela para avisar si su hijo va a estar ausente.

 

Comenzando el 2 de Noviembre, estaremos aplicando un nuevo horario delalmuerzo llamado Recreo antes de Almuerzo. Este horario está siendo usado nacionalmente y en varios colegios de Saugus con mucho éxito. Les he mandado más información sobre éste nuevo horario en una

hoja  que encontrará en la carpeta de los Martes.

Mensaje de Mrs. Bogosian

Estoy extremadamente orgullosa de anunciar que las calificaciones del API de Emblem (el Index de Rendimiento Académico) aumentaron de 820 en el 2008 a 875 en el 2009. Esto es un crecimiento de 55 puntos!   Esta calificación se basa en el rendimiento del estudiante en el examen de STAR que se toma cada año en la primavera. Nuestros estudiantes hicieron un trabajo maravilloso. Esto es también un testamento al duro trabajo y dedicación de nuestras fabulosas maestras y ayudantes. ¡Los maestros de Emblem se dedicaron realmente a ayudar a los estudiantes a “Elevarse al éxito”!

Almuerzo

La Agencia del Servicio de Comida del Valle de Santa Clarita, nos proveerá con el programa de almuerzo caliente. El almuerzo costará $2.75/día. El niño deberá pagar por su almuerzo cada día a no ser que lo pague por anticipado. Si tiene un niño en el 1er o 2do grado, por favor trate de darle el cambio exacto.  

El Desayuno se ofrecerá a las  8:00 a.m y a la hora del recreo.

 

Zona de dejar y recoger estudiantes

Por favor ayúdenos a mantener la seguridad de los estudiantes siguiendo los reglamentos para el uso del área de valet. Por favor no se salga de su automóvil. El estudiante deberá tener todo lo que necesita  a su lado y estar pronto para bajarse. No deje que su hijo vaya al baúl o detrás del automóvil ya que es muy peligroso. Por favor coloque su automóvil lo más adelante posible. El estacionamiento de Cabaletta cerca del edificio del cuidado de niños no se debe usar jamás como zona de dejar y recoger estudiantes. Si llega tarde, por favor traiga a su niño a la oficina para firmar.

Por favor use el cruce peatonal cuando deba cruzar la calle. Es muy peligroso cruzar por la zona de valet. Tampoco entre al campus de la escuela por el estacionamiento. Use la calzada de cada lado del camino de entrada. No se podrá dejar o recoger en el estacionamiento del frente de la escuela.

Si usted aparca el automóvil y se baja a recoger a su niño, por favor encuéntrese con el/ella frente a la escuela. El portón del costado es solo para la zona de valet.

 

 TEST DE VERIFICACION DE TUBERCULOSIS PARA TODOS LOS  VOLUNTARIOS

Se requiere a todos los voluntarios que tengan contacto con alumnos en forma regular, la verificación del test del TB. Negativa (Intradermal Mantoux. PPD) cada cuatro años.

Drop-Off and Pick –Up

Please help ensure the safety of all of our students by following the rules when using the valet area.  Please do not get out of your car.  All items should be in the car for students to take as they exit. Do not have your student go to the trunk or back of the car as this causes them to need to go into the street between cars.  Please pull all the way up.  The driveway/parking lot on Cabaletta near the childcare building is never to be used for student drop-off.  If you are late, please bring your student to the front office to sign them in.

 

Please use the cross walk when crossing the street.  It is extremely dangerous to cross through the valet area.  Also, please do not enter campus through the parking lot.  Please use the side walks on either side of the driveway.  There is no drop-off or pick up in the front parking lot.

 

If you are parking and getting out of your car to pick up your student please meet him/her at the front of the school.  The side gate is for valet only.

 

TB TEST VERIFICATION FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers who have contact with pupils on a regular basis are required to have verification of a negative Intradermal Mantoux.  PPD every four years.  This is the same requirement for employees.  Therefore, if you volunteer at school, you will need to show verification of this before you come in to help.
