IXL is an online program that helps students close gaps in their education in the areas and English Language Arts and Math. Students start the program by taking a diagnostic assessment. After that, the program gives them individual lessons to work on based on their assessment results. The program will also show growth as students learn and master new concepts.

While we are giving students opportunities to work on IXL at school, we can definitely use your help by ensuring that they also work on it at home! All they need to do is log on and get to work!

Please take a look at the attached PARENT INFO PAGE for more information about IXL

We will be emailing your current parent hours to you during the 2nd week of November. We have had several parent participation opportunities this year so we wanted to make sure we covered everything.

We are also sending a list of items that we need donations for. Parents who are not able to participate in person, can support our school with monetary donations. We use those donation to purchase items that we do not have school funds for. Any amount will help!

Also, as a reminder, any time you have a meeting with a teacher or staff regarding your student, those count too! Please be sure to complete the Parent Participation Form. We keep those in the front office.

Thank you for your continued support of our school!

During our finals in December, our students do mini-DOL (Defense of Learning) presentations in all of their classes. The presentations are FORMAL and students are expected to dress professionally.

Each year, we ask for parents and community members to sit in on these presentations to help give feedback to students on their presentation skills as well as the content of their presentations.

If you are interested in helping us in this way, please contact Principal Martin via email (jessica-martin@scusd.edu) or phone (916)578-0466. Finals are on December 13th & 14th from 8:30-1:40. You can join us for one class or both classes on either day.

Please let us know if you can join us! We could really use your help.
