Bear Facts
Castro Valley Elementary aprecia la dedicación de los miembros de la Junta de Directores: Gary Howard, Dot Theodore, Lavender Lee Whitaker, Dolly Adams, Michael Kusiak y Parvin Ahmadi, Superintendente
Los padres/guardianes están bienvenidos a asistir a las reuniones de la Junta. Busque en www.cv.k12.ca.us la fecha de la próxima reunión.
¡WOW! Es absolutamente fabuloso tener a nuestros
estudiantes de regreso en el campus. El regreso en
etapas fue increíblemente exitoso y nos permitio
brindar un mejor apoyo a nuestros ninos más
pequeños. Sin embargo, en su segundo día, nos
dijeron que lo entendian todo y ya no necesitaban
nuestra ayuda
Hay tanta gente que contribuyó a que la reapertura
fuera un éxito. Nuestros maestros trabajaron muy
duro preparando sus salones y creando videos /
diapositivas para que usted aprendiera sobre sus
procedimientos y procesos específicos. Mr. Mario,
nuestro conserje, colocó calcomanías, pintó con
aerosol y colocó letreros para garantizar que nuestro
campus fuera seguro y que los estudiantes tuvieran
marcadores para ayudarlos a encontrar su camino.
Mrs. Hung y Ms. Susie colaboraron con las familias
para que todos se sintieran preparados para el
regreso y Mrs. Contreras organizó los monitores de
las entradas y brindó apoyo técnico a los padres que
necesitaban asistencia en las llegadas y salidas. Y
luego estan todos ustedes ... sin su apoyo, nuestra
reapertura no habría sido tan exitosa. Al descargar
las aplicaciones Frontline y Pikmykid con
anticipación, ayudaorn a que las llegadas y salidas
fueran lo más rápidas y fluidas posible. ¡Gracias!
¡Estoy muy emocionada de anunciar que el personal
ha elegido a Mrs. Limnios como la Maestra del
año 2020-21 CVE! Mrs. Limnios comenzó su carrera
en CVE hace 21 años y ha estado con nosotros
desde entonces. Ella ha enseñado primero y
segundo grado y ha estado en kindergarten durante
los últimos 12 años. Durante este tiempo, también se
ha desempeñado en muchos comités de liderazgo
del distrito y de la escuela. Somos muy afortunados
de tener a Mrs. Limnios como parte de nuestra
familia de CVE.
Nuestro equipo de PBIS ha creado una matriz de
código Bear para el aprendizaje híbrido. Haga clic
aquí para ver cómo hemos combinado nuestras
expectativas de comportamiento del Código BEAR
(Ser Seguro, Participar en el Aprendizaje, Actuar
con Responsabilidad, Respetarse a sí mismo y a
los demás) con los protocolos de seguridad de
COVID.
Las pruebas CAASPP comienzan la semana del
19 de abril para nuestros estudiantes de 3er a 5to
grado. Si desea eximir a su hijo de tomar las
pruebas estatales obligatorias, envíeme un correo
electrónico o una carta firmada antes del lunes 12
de abril. Recomendamos que los estudiantes
tomen las pruebas ya que recibimos datos valiosos
sobre cada estudiante a partir de los resultados.
Debido a que la prueba debe administrarse usando
un navegador de prueba seguro, los estudiantes
deberán usar Chromebooks distribuidos por el
distrito para las evaluaciones CAASPP. Si su hijo
no tiene un Chromebook del distrito, notifique a
la oficina lo antes posible para que podamos
conseguirle uno.
Este año escolar tenemos unas vacaciones de
primavera más largas de lo normal. Seran del 1 al
11 de abril y los estudiantes regresan el lunes 12
