You can register online at www.smgov.net/reserve or in person at the Reed Park Youth Office. GOLDEN TICKETS – One of the ways that we promote positive behaviors that support the school community is to award Golden Tickets. These Golden Tickets are deposited in a large jar in the library. When students fill the jar, we have a schoolwide celebration. Right now we’re working toward a Crazy Hair and Hat day on February 16. Go Edison!!

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK: PROGRESS REPORTS Mid-year Progress Reports go home Friday, February 9. These are not Report Cards. They are reports on the kind of progress your child is making at midyear toward the standards that they should meet by June. Since we’re only half-way through the year, most students will be getting marks that indicate that they are making progress, but have NOT YET met standards. For each subject, you will see a list of the most important standards for your child’s grade level. Some of these are skills that we work on all year long, moving children along a skill continuum toward the end of year expectancy. Those standards and those of specific content taught in the first semester, will be accompanied by a check mark. Other standards list content that may not be taught until the second semester or which is not taught in an immersion program at this grade level. Next to those standards you will see the designation NA (Not Applicable). An asterisk means that the standard is being addressed through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and a progress report from the IEP team will accompany the report card. Next to each standard is one of the following ratings: 4 (Masters Standards); 3 (Approaching Mastery); 2 (Making Some Progress Towards Standards); or 1 (Making Little Progress Toward Standards). For those few children who have already mastered a standard, their teachers will be working to add more depth and complexity to that skill in the second semester. The designation of 3 indicates that if a child keeps progressing at the current rate, he or she is on track to meet or exceed standards by the end of the year. It’s OK if they have NOT YET met the standard – just keep working and practicing. For students who receive 1s and 2s, some additional or different attention is needed. More of the same (same methods, same amount of reading or homework, or same behavior and study skills) probably won’t get the student where he or she needs to be by the end of the year. Students who are making little progress toward standards (scoring a 1) are probably already in our intervention programs and their progress is being monitored carefully by specialists and interventionists. But it may be time to adjust the plan. Students who are making some progress (scoring a 2) may need some additional or different support or work habits. If you see 1s and 2s on the progress report, please contact your child’s teacher for a meeting so we can work together on an individual Academic Improvement Plan and help your child make deeper and faster progress. Please also pay attention also to the markings for the Citizenship and Work Habits, since as a child who occasionally or rarely meets expectations in this area will need some support to develop the habits that make school success more likely.

No se necesita experiencia previa. BAILE DE SAN VALENTÍN – Pronto viene uno de nuestros eventos favoritos - el baile de San Valentín --el viernes 9 de febrero a partir de las 6:00 pm. Consulte con su salón para contribuir a la canasta que cada clase está preparando como premio para Lotería. Apúntense en el salón o en los tablones de anuncios de la PTA y ayúdenos con los preparativos. ¡Nuestro tema este año es Ama a nuestra tierra! Habrá deliciosas comidas y bebidas, una rifa, lotería, una taquilla de fotos, globos, una demostración de reciclaje y un baile. ¡Acompáñenos a nosotros de 6:00 a 8:30 pm el 9 de febrero! INSCRÍBETE A LOS DEPORTES DE CREST PRIMAVERA - CREST anuncia los programas de deportes de primavera en Edison, a partir del 12 de marzo. La inscripción comienza el 1 de febrero y cierra el día 22. Puede registrarse en línea en www.smgov.net/reserve o en persona en Reed Park Youth Office. BOLETOS DE ORO - Una de las maneras en que promovemos conductas positivas que apoyan a la comunidad escolar es otorgando Boletos Dorados. Estos boletos se depositan en un frasco grande en la biblioteca. Cuando los estudiantes llenan el frasco, tenemos una celebración en toda la escuela. En este momento estamos trabajando para un día de Pelo loco y Gorras Locas el 16 de febrero. ¡Vamos Edison!

DE LA MESA DE LA DIRECTORA: LOS REPORTES DE PROGRESO Los reportes de progreso de mitad de año serán enviados a casa el viernes 9 de febrero. Estos no son reportes de calificaciones. Son informes sobre el tipo de progreso que su hijo o hija está haciendo a mediados de año hacia las normas que deberían cumplir para junio. Como estamos a la mitad del año, la mayoría de los estudiantes recibirán calificaciones que indican que están progresando, pero que aún no han cumplido con las normas. Para cada materia, verá una lista de las normas más importantes para el nivel de grado de su hijo. Algunas de estas son habilidades en las que trabajamos durante todo el año, y los alumnos progresan a lo largo de un continuamente en las habilidades hacia la expectativa de fin de año. Esas normas y los de contenido específico enseñado en el primer semestre, irán acompañados de una marca de verificación. Otras normas incluyen contenido que puede no enseñarse hasta el segundo semestre o que no se enseña en un programa de inmersión en este nivel de grado. Junto a esas normas, verá la designación NA (no aplicable). Un asterisco significa que la norma se está enseñado a través de un Programa de educación individualizado (IEP) y un informe de progreso del equipo del IEP acompañará la boleta de calificaciones. Junto a cada norma está una de las siguientes clasificaciones: 4 (Maestría del estándar); 3 (Aproximación al dominio); 2 (Avanzando hacia la norma); o 1 (Haciendo poco progreso hacia la norma). Para los pocos niños que ya dominaron una norma, sus maestros trabajarán para hacer esta habilidad más profunda y compleja en el segundo semestre. La designación de 3 indica que si un niño sigue progresando al ritmo actual, él o ella está en camino hacia alcanzar o superar la norma para el final del año. Está bien si aún no han cumplido con la norma, simplemente sigan trabajando y practicando. Para los estudiantes que reciben puntajes de1 o 2, se necesita atención adicional o diferente. Más de lo mismo (los mismos métodos, la misma cantidad de lectura o tarea, o el mismo comportamiento y las mismas habilidades de estudio) probablemente no lleven al estudiante a donde debe estar antes de fin de año. Los estudiantes que progresan poco hacia las normas (puntaje 1) probablemente ya estén en nuestros programas de intervención y su progreso está siendo monitoreado cuidadosamente por especialistas e intervencionistas. Pero puede ser hora de ajustar el plan. Los estudiantes que están progresando (puntaje de 2) pueden necesitar algunos apoyos o hábitos de trabajo adicionales o diferentes. Si ve marcas de 1 o 2 en el reporte de progreso, comuníquese con el maestro de su hijo para una reunión para que podamos trabajar juntos en un Plan de Mejoramiento Académico y ayudar a su hijo o hija a progresar más rápido. También preste atención a las marcas para los Hábitos de Ciudadanía y Trabajo, ya que como un niño que ocasionalmente o rara vez cumple con las expectativas en esta área necesitará algún apoyo para desarrollar los hábitos que hacen que el éxito escolar sea más probable. 31 de enero – 2 de febrero –Alumnos de 5to grado en Catalina

HARVEST OF THE MONTH Health and Learning Success Go Hand-in-Hand: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains supports a healthy body and mind. With Harvest of the Month, your family can explore, taste, and learn about fruits and vegetables and being active every day.

Produce Tips: Strawberries     

Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen each spring! You don’t have to wait long to enjoy them. Over 75% of strawberries grown in the US are grown in California. When enjoying strawberries, don’t rinse them until ready to eat- rinsing too early speeds up the spoiling process. Strawberries are a juicy and sweet fruit. One serving (1/2 cup) is a great idea for a healthier sweet treat or dessert swap. Strawberries can be enjoyed by themselves, in a smoothie, as a yogurt or cereal topping, and on salads (spinach base is best!)
