MESSAGE FROM DR. GONZALEZ
We are done with our ELPAC testing and soon will start our CAASPP testing. This test is administered to all third through sixth grade students. The test provides valuable information on what areas to focus next year. Our goal is to produce bilingual, biliterate students that meet proficiency or exceed in all standardized tests. With your support and the help of our amazing teachers, we will get there!
Beginning April 12th, selected students will be invited to stay for in-person instruction until 2:10 pm. Students will have lunch on campus and at 1:30 pm go to their room for targeted instruction. This program is aimed to support students with greatest need. Students will be provided lunch and supervision. More information to follow.
We are also in our last trimester of the year, Mustangs! Let's maximize on the days of instruction left. Lastly, please make sure you follow the recommendations below, Mustangs:
- Arrive to school on time! School starts at 8:30 a.m. This means that you should be on campus and in line prior to the bell ringing.
- When you arrive in the morning, be ready! Have your mask on, your backpack next to you, and ready to exit the car safely.
- If you are not doing well, stay home and inform the office. Keeping everyone safe and our school open for in-person instruction is everyone's responsibility.
- If you travel during the Spring Break, we ask that you follow all guidelines. Help us keep everyone safe, Mustangs!
We are so proud of all of you! Keep up the great work!
DRESS LIKE IT'S THE 80'S DAY- Friday, March 26!
What's Happening in April
NEEDS ASSESSMENTS SURVEY RESULTS
Thank you for participating in this year's Needs Assessment survey. We received 290 completed surveys. The district and Maie Ellis use the survey's results to plan events, workshops, and improve systems in place. Three common suggestions that were notable are the following:
Extra help for students. Beginning April 12th, students with greatest needs will participate in extended in-person instruction from 1:30 pm to 2:10 pm. A permission slip with more details will be sent home.
Spanish classes for parents. Dr. Gonzalez is working with ELAC parents to offer conversational classes in Spanish for those who'd like to attend. These classes will be offered next school year.
Additional evening workshops for parents are being planned for next school year. Workshops in technology, how to support your Mustang at home, and social emotional support are a few being considered. More information to follow.
Again, we want to thank you for your continuous support of our beautiful and amazing school. We are looking forward to improving our programs at Maie Ellis!
CAASPP Suggestions
Get a good night sleep - 10 to 11 hours every night.
Eat a healthy breakfast - healthy protein, carbohydrates, and fruit.
Be positive (let your student know that the test is important, but it does not measure who they are or how good of a student they are).
Leave a note in their backpacks or stickies on their water bottles encouraging them to do well!
Go over test-taking strategies ahead of time with your student (don’t spend too much time on one question, if a question is too difficult, skip it and come back later, etc. If a student feels prepared for the test, they’ll be more confident, and less anxious. Breathe deeply--it will help you relax and think more clearly.
Take it seriously and do your best!
Wear comfortable clothing! You will do your best when you feel your best!
Come prepared with several books or reading materials for when you finish!
