FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:

START THE YEAR WITH GOOD ATTENDANCE Study after study confirms the importance of regular school attendance for young children and the relationship between consistent attendance and school success. Building the habit of good attendance begins early - in preschool, Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten. Children at these grades who attend regularly, are more likely to develop the social emotional skills that help them persevere in school. Additionally, because so much literacy instruction and practice is front-loaded in the early years, missing instruction in these years undercuts the foundational skills they need for reading. And in dual immersion programs, acquiring a second language absolutely requires time on task. Especially for children whose only exposure to their second language is at school, days that they are absent are days when they are not adding to their vocabulary or practicing their emergent skills. Early absences in school correlate with reading difficulties and poor attendance patterns in later years. One study in California found that only 17% of children who were chronically absent in K and 1st grade were reading proficiently in 3rd grade, compared to 64% of those students with good attendance. Chronic absenteeism is particularly dangerous for children from low-income families – and poverty can create many challenges for getting to school. Their school absences have a particularly adverse consequence on literacy development. Research also shows that parents often don’t realize that absences are adding up. Even missing a day or two a month can result in 10% of more of missed instructional days. So what can parents do? Don’t allow your child to miss school “just because.” Unless your child is ill or there is an unavoidable emergency, he or she belongs at school. When your child must miss school, please call Senior Office Specialist Kathy Fargnoli in our office to report the absence (310) 828-0335, ext. 61-348, or email her at kfargnoli@smmusd.org. Schedule routine medical appointments after school or at the very beginning or very end of the day to minimize time away from school -- and always bring a doctor’s note. If you absolutely must be away for five or more days, use our Independent Study Program to have your child complete work while he or she is gone. Give your child’s teacher a week’s notice to prepare the materials and make sure your child completes and turns in the work to excuse the absences. To help you keep track of absences, we will send you a notice if absences or tardies are creeping into the danger zone. Let’s work together this year to maximize students’ time in class so we can maximize learning in two languages! Wed. Sept. 6 – PTA Executive Board Meeting 6:00-8:00 pm Community Room

DEL ESCRITORIO DE LA DIRECTORA: COMIENCEN EL AÑO CON ASISTENCIA BUENA Estudio tras estudio confirma la importancia de asistencia regular a la escuela para niños jóvenes y la relación entre asistencia consistente y el éxito escolar. Creando el hábito de asistencia buena comienza temprano – en preescolar, Kindergarten Transicional y Kindergarten. Los niños en estos grados quienes asisten regularmente, son más probables de desarrollar las habilidades sociales y emocionales que les ayudan a perseverar en la escuela. Adicionalmente, porque tanta instrucción de alfabetización y práctica es presentada en los años tempranos, perder instrucción en estos años recorta las habilidades fundamentales que necesitan para leer. Y en programas de doble inmersión, adquiriendo un segundo idioma absolutamente requiere tiempo en el trabajo. Especialmente para los niños a quienes su única exposición a su segundo idioma es en la escuela, días que están ausentes son días cuando no están aumentando su vocabulario ni practicando sus habilidades emergentes. Ausencias temprano en la escuela son correlacionadas con dificultades de lectura y patrones de asistencia mala en los siguientes años. Un estudio en California encontró que solamente el 17% de los niños quienes estuvieron crónicamente ausentes en K y el 1º grado fueron proficientes en lectura en el 3º grado, comparado a los 64% de aquellos estudiantes con asistencia buena. Estar ausente crónicamente es peligroso en particular para los niños de familias de bajos recursos – y la pobreza puede crear muchos retos para llegar a la escuela. Sus ausencias escolares tienen una consecuencia advera particularmente en el desarrollo de alfabetismo. Las investigaciones también muestran que los padres frecuentemente no se dan cuenta que las ausencias se estén acumulando. Hasta faltando uno o dos días por mes puede resultar en 10% más de días de instrucción perdidos. ¿Entonces que pueden hacer los padres? No permitan que su hijo/a falte a la escuela “solo porque sí.” A menos que su hijo/a esté enfermo o tenga una emergencia inevitable, él o ella debe estar en la escuela. Cuando su hijo/a tenga que faltar a la escuela, por favor llamen a la Especialista de Oficina Kathy Fargnoli en nuestra oficina para reportar la ausencia al (310) 828-0335, extensión 61-348, o mándenle un correo electrónico a kfargnoli@smmusd.org. Programen citas rutinas médicas después de clases o al mero comienzo o al mero final del día para minimizar el tiempo fuera de la escuela – y siempre traigan una nota del doctor. Si absolutamente deben estar fuera por cinco días o más, usen nuestro Programa de Estudios Independientes para que su hijo/a complete el trabajo mientras esté fuera. Denle a maestro/a de su hijo/a una semana de aviso para preparar los materiales y asegúrense de que su hijo/a complete y entregue el trabajo para justificar las ausencias. Para ayudarles estar al tanto de las ausencias, les mandaremos un aviso si las ausencias o tardanzas se están acercando a la zona de peligro. ¡Hay que trabajar juntos este año para maximizar el tiempo de los estudiantes en la clase para que podamos maximizar el aprendizaje en dos idiomas!

Extraordinary Public Education

August 22, 2017 Dear Parents: There are three Elementary Music “Back to School” nights. Parents should attend one of the three evenings to meet with the music teachers and to get information about this year’s elementary music program. Your child is encouraged to attend this event as well. The district has an inventory of string and wind instruments available for students to use, but in order to have enough instruments for ALL students, we ask families to consider renting or buying an instrument, so a district owned instrument can be made available for a student who needs one. For your convenience, we have invited some music stores to these meetings to be available for parents who would like to purchase or rent an instrument. The district has an inventory of used instruments for any student who needs one, but parents are encouraged to rent or buy an instrument for their child if possible. Instruments owned by the district will then be assigned to a student who does not rent or buy. The informational portion of the evening will begin promptly at 6pm to introduce the music teachers, discuss expectations and go over vital information regarding music supplies and equipment specifications. Please choose one of the meeting dates and locations:
