The 2010 Census is Coming: Be Counted!

Each year more than $400 billion in federal funds are awarded to states and communities based on Census data. This month, the US Census Bureau will provide all households with a 10 question survey aimed at gathering accurate population data. The questionnaire will ask questions such as name, gender, age, race and ethnicity, for each person living at the property address. The questionnaire does not ask for personal information or citizenship status. The 2010 Census has a direct impact on funding for our schools. During these tight budget times it is especially important that every member of our community is counted. Complete your Census and remember, it’s safe, it’s easy, it’s important, and everyone counts.

Dear Families,

An API of 850 or higher.

I hope you are enjoying your time off.  Once we return our students in grades 2-5 will be getting ready to take the California Standards Test (CST).  To help us reach our goal, here are some steps you can take to help your students get ready:

• Have your child read at least one hour every day.  After they read, ask them to tell you about what they read, or have them write a summary of what they read.
