Academia de Inteligencias Escolares Último aviso para apuntarse para la Academia de Inteligencias Escolares. Esperamos comenzar el programa el 29 de septiembre. Las hojas para apuntarse se mandaron en el paquete del 31 de agosto – o ustedes pueden pasar por la oficina y recoger otro volante, comunicarse con Yoly Gutierrez en la extensión 61-312, o mandarle un correo electrónico a ygutierrez@smmusd.org. El programa se llena con 35 personas para ofrecer una experiencia de grupo pequeño. Programas de Participación = Dinero para la PTA de Edison - ¡con unos cuantos botones oprimidos, ustedes pueden participar para ayudarnos a ganar decenas de miles de dólares para Edison sin costarles ni un centavo! Si ustedes usan Amazon para hacer compras por internet, una su cuento de Amazon a Edison y entre a la página por smile.amazon.com. Después Amazon dona 5% de sus compras elegibles a Edison – sin ningún costo a usted. Apúntense en smile.amazon.com y elijan a Thomas A. Edison PTA como su recipiente. ¡Si hacen algunas compras en el Supermercado Ralphs, conecte su tarjeta de Recompensas de Ralphs a Edison y cada vez que ustedes hagan una compra, Ralphs nos dona a nosotros! Simplemente vayan a ralphs.com y opriman el botón de “Community Rewards”; elijan a Edison PTA, número de organización 83122 y regístrense. ¡Si desean ayuda, vengan al Cafecito y pídanles a uno de los Miembros de la Mesa Directiva de la PTA que les ayuden y ellos les ayudarán con gusto! Y si compran productos que tienen el logotipo de Tapas de Cajas “Box Tops”, córtenlos, tráiganlos a la escuela los miércoles antes del 1 de noviembre y los entregaremos por dinero para Edison. Música en Español: Coro Después de Clases comienza esta semana los lunes por la tarde. El programa está disponible para los estudiantes en el 3º y 4º grado y se reúnen de 3:10 a 4:10 p.m. en el salón 107. ¡Todavía hay algunos espacios disponibles así es que apúntense ya! Talleres de Fonética en Español – Edison está ofreciendo un taller para ayudarles a los padres aprender a leer de vista y pronunciar palabras en español y ayudar a lectores emergentes. A padres de estudiantes en TK y Kindergarten se les recomienda especialmente que asistan. Miren las hojas para apuntarse y ver los horarios en el boletín de Kindergarten y reserve un espacio.

DEL ESCRITORIO DE LA DIRECTORA: A Continuación de la Noche de Regreso a la Escuela Gracias a todos ustedes quienes pudieron venir a una de las Noches de Regreso a la Escuela y aprendieron sobre nuestros programas de toda la escuela y de los planes y pólizas del maestro/a de su hijo/a. Fue maravilloso ver a tantas familias y escuchar sus preguntas. Realmente hace una diferencia cuando los padres y maestros se pueden conectar temprano en el año para compartir información y comenzar a crear una relación que crecerá todo el año. Si ustedes no pudieron asistir a Noche de Regreso a la escuela, por favor comuníquense con el maestro/a de su hijo/a lo antes posible. Todos los maestros dieron paquetes de información y algunos tiene presentaciones digitales que pueden compartir con ustedes para que ustedes tengan la misma información que los otros padres en el salón. Los maestros de Edison quieren trabajar colaborativamente con padres y cada uno reserva tiempo para consultar y constar preguntas. El horario de cada maestro/a es un poco diferente, así es que deje un mensaje de voz, o un correo electrónico, o dejen una nota en la oficina pidiendo una reunión y él/ella se comunicará con ustedes lo antes posible. Ninguno de nuestros maestros está disponible los miércoles por la tarde porque inmediatamente después de la despedida comenzamos nuestras reuniones para el desarrollo profesional. ¡Gracias por comenzar fuerte con asistencia consistente y a tiempo! ¡Este es un hábito muy importante de establecer temprano en el año! Nuestra Especialista de Oficina Kathy Fargnoli está llamando a los hogares para revisar las ausencias a diario – para mantener nuestros archivos correctos y animar buena asistencia. Si parece que se están amontonando las tardanzas y/o ausencias, les mandaré una carta avisándoles del problema Y uno de nuestros miembros del personal se comunicará con ustedes para invitarlos a una reunión del Equipo de Revisiones de Asistencia Escolar (SART) y crear un contrato de asistencia para que podamos ver si podemos identificar y corregir problemas mientras todavía estén manejables. Para niños jóvenes – especialmente quienes estén aprendiendo en dos idiomas - ¡CADA DIA ESCOLAR CUENTA! Pensé en tomar esta oportunidad para responder algunas preguntas sobre alergias de comida y nuestra póliza de la escuela entera sobre las celebraciones de cumpleaños en la escuela. Algunos salones están designados como libres de nueces (marcados con una cartulina en la ventana de enfrente y se discutió en la Noche de Regreso a la Escuela) por las sensibilidades de comida en ese salón. La escuela entera NO es libre de nueces pero si les recomendamos a los padres que no manden nueces para botanas y todos les recordamos a los niños que no deben compartir comida que traigan de su hogar. Sin embargo, porque tenemos una cantidad significante de niños con diferentes alergias de comida, y para ser inclusivos y proteger la privacidad de los niños, nos hemos cambiado a una póliza para la escuela entera de no traer comida para celebrar cumpleaños. Por favor hablen con el maestro/a de su hijo/a si les gustaría hacer algo SIN COMIDA en el cumpleaños de su hijo/a. ¡Tenemos sugerencias!

And if you buy any products that have Box Tops for Education logo, cut them out, bring them to school on Wednesdays before Nov. 1 and we’ll turn them into cash for Edison! Música en Español: After School Chorus begins this week on Monday afternoons. rd th The program is available to children in 3 and 4 grades and meets from 3:10 to 4:10 p.m. in Room 107. Some spaces are still available so sign up now! Spanish Phonics Workshops – Edison is offering a workshop to help parents learn to sight read and sound out words in Spanish and help emergent readers. Parents of TK and K students are especially encouraged to attend. See the sign up sheets and times on the K bulletin board and grab a spot.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK: FOLLOWING UP FROM BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT Thanks to all of you who were able to come to one of Edison’s Back to School Nights and learn about our schoolwide programs and the plans and policies of your child’s teacher. It was wonderful to see so many families and hear your questions. It really makes a difference when parents and teachers are able to connect early in the year to share information and start building a relationship that will grow all year. If you were unable to come to BTSN, please contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible. All the teachers had handouts and some have digital presentations that they can share with you so that you have the same information as the other parents in the class. Edison teachers want to work collaboratively with parents and each sets aside time to consult and answer questions. Each teacher’s schedule is a little different, so leave the teacher a voice mail or an email, or drop a note in the office requesting a meeting and he or she will get back to you as soon as possible. None of our teachers are available on Wednesday afternoons because immediately after dismissal we begin our professional development meetings. Thank you for starting strong with consistent and on-time attendance! This is such an important habit to establish early in the year! Our Senior Office Specialist Kathy Fargnoli is calling home to check on absences daily – both to keep our records accurate and encourage good attendance. If it appears that tardies and/or absences are mounting up, you’ll get a letter from me alerting you to the problem AND one of our staff members will be in touch to invite you to a School Attendance Review Team (SART) meeting and develop an attendance contract to see if we can identify and fix problems while they are still manageable. For young children – especially those who are learning in two languages -- EVERY SCHOOL DAY COUNTS! I thought I’d take this opportunity to respond to a few questions about food allergies and our schoolwide policy on birthday celebrations at school. Some classrooms are designated as nut free (marked with a poster in the front window and discussed at Back to School Night) because of the food sensitivities in that class. The school as a whole is NOT nut free but we do encourage parents not to send nuts for snacks and we all remind children not to share food from home. However, because we have a significant number of children with different food allergies, and to be inclusive and protect children’s privacy, we have moved to a schoolwide policy of no food treats to celebrate birthdays. Please talk with your child’s teacher if you would like to do something WITHOUT FOOD on your child’s birthday. We have suggestions!
