Interim Superintendent Dr. Michelle James: "Welcome Back"
|
As you know, school opens on Wednesday September 2.
I hope everyone returns to school highly motivated and energized. This year, we will intensify our focus on improving literacy and mathematics so that every child has a strong foundation of knowledge, skills and learning. We have a strong team of returning and new teachers and wonderful community partnerships that are an integral part of our schools. Together, we will make this year a rewarding one for our students.
My best wishes for a healthy and successful year!

High School
On October 14, all Grade 10 and 11 students will be taking the PSAT. The district is paying all costs for these important tests. The PSAT is administered by the College Board and co-sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Not only is this test a preparation for the college admissions SAT test, scores from the PSAT are used to determine eligibility for certain college scholarships. In addition, PSAT-takers have access to a free resource that provides personalized feedback, practice and college planning based on their PSAT results.

Our school is partnering with Abakidz and University of California, San Diego and Stanford University on a study on mental abacus. The research will investigate the impact of mental abacus training on mathematical and cognitive abilities. The goals of the project is to find our whether mental abacus training can improve math performance for children, determine the grade level at which the training is most beneficial and to test whether mental abacus training affects the cognitive abilities like memory and attention. Half of the first and second grade students have been randomly selected to receive abacus instruction in addition to our regular math curriculum.
