He wants his students to see the beauty and magic in mathematics. He says, “Once I experienced Abstract Algebra in college, I was hooked. I want my students to see the structure and logic in math that is often hidden by the details and computations.� When Steve isn’t teaching math at the Priory, he pushes his physical limits by training for Ironman Triathlons. In addition, he coaches the Priory’s Middle School cross-country team. He believes teaching is a gift for the teacher and the student. Steve says, rather humbly, “After 17 years, I still think teaching is fun. I enjoy attempting to convince teenagers that math is beautiful. Occasionally, I succeed.�

OPEN HOUSE

for Prospective Students and Families

Wednesday, Nov. 17th, 2010 at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4th, 2010 at 10 a.m. For information and to R.S.V.P. contact Admissions at 650. 851. 8223

If it has to raise tuition again, Tynefield said, retaining current attendance would be difficult and recruiting new families would be “impossible.� The preschool offers multiple programs for different age groups with tuition ranging from $1,900 to $3,600 annually. “Simply, we cannot afford commercial rents and offer the quality program we do, at an accessible tuition,� she said. For comparison, a month’s tuition for Wonder World Preschool in Mountain View is $950 for weeklong, half-day programs for twoand three-year-olds; tuition for Action Day Primary Plus preschool in Mountain View can run as much as $1,524 per month for the prekindergarten age bracket. The adult-education component makes the preschool even more indispensable, Tynefield said. The training Los Altos Parent Preschool provides to high school students and local parents ends up benefiting the community. If the cooperative goes away the community will lose “affordable quality preschool and parent education, and a foundation of volunteering in education, not to mention a multi-generational history,� Tynefield said. While the hard deadline for the cooperative to move isn’t until next summer, Tynfield said that if the preschool doesn’t have something solid lined up by January it will be hard to convince families to sign up during the registration, which begins in February for most area preschools. High school growth “We’ve known for a couple of years that we were going to need that space,� Barry Groves, district superintendent, said, noting that teachers are already sharing classes. Over the next 10 years, Groves and the board anticipate the district will grow by 25 percent. “We need to use that site.� That translates to about 450 additional high school students at Los Altos by 2020, according to Joe White, superintendent of business services for the district. He said that the district would like to use the 15,000 square feet now occupied by the preschool’s parking area, playground and portable, to accommodate that growth. Groves said the district plans to use the preschool’s space for vocational training courses for Los Altos High School. Both Groves and Rosenberg have worked with the preschool to try to find a new site within the district’s borders. Groves said that the district does have an interest in maintaining the educational opportunities the preschool provides the adult school and the high school. Tynefield said she wishes the district would do more. “We’re running out of time,� she said. V
