Attendance

Regular attendance by students is vital to learning, and it impacts the amount of funding that local schools receive.  Schools statewide lose millions of dollars each year due to student absenteeism.  Parents whose children are absent or tardy should be sure to send a note to school including the reason for the absence.  Schools are required by the state to track this information.

State education code says that a student absent from school without a valid excuse on three occasions or tardy or absent for more than any 30-minute period in a school day on three occasions in one school year is considered to be truant.  At that point, parents receive letters from the school district notifying them of their obligation to make certain their children attend school.  These letters state that parents who fail to meet this obligation may be subject to prosecution.  Proper tracking of absences is dependent upon parental cooperation and can help parents to avoid receiving such notices.

One of the best ways to ensure student success is to encourage and support good attendance, but when tardiness or an absence is unavoidable, parents should remember to keep in close touch with their children’s school.

Mission Statement

We are dedicated educators with high expectations who inspire and engage all students in learning.

Principal's Message

We are celebrating at King!  Take a moment and ask your child what they received on their Math and English Language Arts Trimester 1 Exams. Grade level averages surpassed school and class goals.  On behalf of our entire staff, we want to thank you for your support and are so proud of our students’ hard work.  This is only the beginning.  We know that with this kind of determination, we will meet our end-of-the-year school goals.

 School Meetings & Workshops

What a great turn out for Coffee with the Principal!  I have enjoyed our time together.  Last month’s topics included School Safety and Emergency Procedures.   Our Parent Workshops are also well attended.  We will continue to offer parent workshops monthly.  During our last workshop, parents expressed a desire to have a Homework Workshop.  As a result, we will cover homework support during our next parent workshop.  In addition, we will also include a Literacy Workshop (help your child with reading).  Make sure to refer to the school calendar or announcements that will come home with your child about these outstanding workshops. 

I am so pleased to announce that at our last PTO meeting, parents and staff voted for our school to become PTA.  Officers were also elected during this meeting.  It gives me great pleasure to announce our PTA officers for the 2011-2012 school year:

Mrs. Carrillo – President

Mrs. Alvarado – Vice President

Mr. Davis – Treasurer

Mrs. Garcia– Secretary

During our School Site Council meeting last month, our Single Plan for Student Achievement was reviewed and members voted to pass the plan for the 2010-2011 school year.  We annually update our Single Plan for Student Achievement.  This plan includes an analysis of assessment results and a plan to support student achievement.   

 What can parents do to help their child succeed?

We encourage you to continue reading daily with your child for at least 20 minutes.  Have a set place in your house for your child to do their homework.  You should have a set routine for your child when they arrive from school.

 We have also included a few resources for you to consider as you work with your child at home.  The activities listed on the Activity Calendar appear to be lots of fun for your family, especially for this month. 

 Enjoy your time off with your family during this holiday season. 

Respectfully,

Dr. Camerino

Principal
