Publisher’s Note

Our Schools Our TownAs summer comes to a close and September brings about the beginning of the new school year, the season of change is upon us� For kids, the new school year brings excitement to see old friends and meet new ones, anticipation of new subjects to be learned, and anxiety over what their new teachers will be like� For parents, it is a time to charge forth and stock up on new school supplies and clothes for their children� For our schools, it brings new principals, new chal-lenges on how to do more with less, and new opportunities to improve upon all facets of the education process�For Our Schools Our Town magazine, the most immediate change you will notice is that we have a new print format, switching to 10-1/2 by 11 inches from 8-1/2 by 11 inches� The larger format not only allows for a more interesting layout, but is also more economical, allowing us to do more for less� What hasn’t changed is that we are still your source for information about Redwood City schools, events, businesses and organizations in our community� We will continue to include news and information from the Redwood City School District, the Redwood City Education Foundation, local community events, and local businesses and organi-zations—all directed toward the Redwood City students, parents and community�Thanks for letting us share this information with you� We hope this school year brings success for your students, our schools and our community�Paul Maynes Publisher Our Schools Our Town

Mientras que el verano llega a su fin y Septiembre nos acerca al comienzo de nuevo año escolar, la temporada de cambio se aproxima� Para los niños, el nuevo año escolar trae el entusiasmo de ver a los viejos amigos y conocer a otros nue-vos, anticipación de nuevos temas por aprender y ansiedad acerca de cómo serán sus nuevos maestros� Para los padres, es un momento para recargarse de energía y de nuevos útiles escolares y ropa para sus hijos� Para nuestras escuelas, trae nuevos directores, nuevos desafíos sobre cómo hacer más con menos, y nuevas oportunidades para mejorar todas las facetas del proceso educativo�Para la revista “Our Schools Our Town”, el cambio más inmediato que podrán notar es que contamos con un nuevo formato de impresión mucho más amplio, que no solo nos otorga una mejor distribución del material en las páginas sino que al mismo tiempo resulta más económico, permitiéndonos hacer más con me-nos� Lo que no ha cambiado es que aún somos tu fuente de información sobre Redwood City� Continuaremos incluyendo noticias e información proveniente del Districto Escolar de Redwood City, eventos, negocios y Organizaciones lo-cales como también novedades de Redwood City Education Foundation —todo esto dirigido directamente a los padres y los estudiantes de nuestra querida co-munidadGracias por dejarnos compartir esta información con ustedes� Esperamos que este año escolar traiga éxito para nuestros estudiantes, nuestras escuelas y nuestra comunidad�Paul Maynes Publisher Our Schools Our Town

Our staff has been hard at work setting goals and coming up with strategies to help your children achieve success in school this year� We are ready to greet our students and get started!We are a district of heart, hope and optimism, and that is re-flected in the can-do attitude exhibited by the many adults who invest in our students -- teachers, principals, librarians, nurses, school custodians, parent and community volunteers, and local community leaders� No matter what is being dis-cussed in Sacramento, our leaders are focused on making sure that your students are learning what they need to have success in high school and beyond�This year, we have two new principals joining our team, and I would like to tell you about these outstanding leaders and what they will bring to our district:

Kennedy Principal David PaliughiMr� David Paliughi most re-cently served as Program Manager and Principal at Sanger Unified School District, and prior to that he was the Prin-cipal at Wilson Elementary School in Sanger� During the time that Mr� Paliughi served as Principal at Wil-son Elementary, the school moved from a Year 4 Pro-gram Improvement School to a California Distinguished School and won a Title I Ac-ademic Achievement Award� Besides serving as an el-ementary school principal, Mr� Paliughi has been a con-tinuation high school principal, a guidance learning specialist and a nationally certified school psychologist.In accepting his new position, Mr� Paliughi said, “I am hon-ored to be afforded the opportunity to lead the Cougars and I

Nuestro personal ha estado trabajando mucho estableciendo las metas y elaborando estrategias para ayudar a sus niños a lograr el éxito en la escuela este año� ¡Estamos preparados para recibir a nuestros alumnos y empezar!Somos un distrito con corazón, esperanza optimismo y eso se refleja en la actitud de si se puede mostrada por muchos de los adultos que invierten en nuestros alumnos – maestros, di-rectores, bibliotecarias, enfermeras, gerentes de las escuelas, padres de familia, voluntarios de la comunidad y líderes de la comunidad local� No importa lo que se discuta en Sacra-mento, nuestros líderes se centran en asegurar que nuestros alumnos estén aprendiendo lo que necesitan para tener éxito en la escuela preparatoria y más allá�Este año tenemos dos nuevos directores uniéndose a nuestro equipo y me gustaría contarles algo acerca de estos dos de-stacados líderes y de lo que van a aportar a nuestro distrito:

El Director de Kennedy David PaliughiEl Sr� Paliughi más recientemente fue el encargado de los programas y director en el Distrito Escolar Sanger Unified, antes que esto fue el director de la escuela Wilson Elementary en Sanger� Durante el tiempo que el Sr� Paliughi fue director en la escuela Wilson Elmentary, la escuela subió desde estar en el cuarto año de escuela en programa de mejoramiento a ser una Escuela Distinguida de California y ganó el premio al Desempeño Académico del Título I� Además de desem-peñar como director de una escuela primaria, el Sr� Paliughi ha sido director de secundaria, un especialista en orientación de aprendizaje y un psicólogo escolar con certificado a nivel nacional�Al aceptar su nueva posición Mr� Paliughi dijo, “Me siento honrado de tener la oportunidad de dirigir a los Pumas y me comprometo a que cada alumno aprenda cada día utilizando todos los medios necesarios� No puedo esperar a conocer a los alumnos, el personal, las familias y los miembros de la comunidad en colaboración continua así como fomentar nuevas relaciones�”
