SCESD Shines

Aug. 29: Closter Park grand reopening and Amor Salinas Anniversary celebrations take place.

Sept. 4: Attendance Power Day.

Sept. 7: Labor Day. No school or After School program.

Sept. 15: Board of Trustees meeting takes place at the District Office.

Our first Attendance Power Day of the year is Friday, Sept. 4! Power Days bring a little extra fun to days when attendance typically drops, while reminding us that every school day matters. Our first theme is Crayon Box! Students are invited to wear their classroom’s selected color and help fill our schools with color.

As the year gets underway, every day of learning counts. If your child is struggling to come to school or has already missed several days, please reach out to your school. We are here to help.

Being present helps students stay connected to their learning, their teachers, and their classmates while building the skills they need to thrive.

Let’s fill our schools with color and classrooms with students on Sept. 4!

Beginning in September, the Monterey County Health Department will present Vaping 101 workshops to District sixth-grade students.

The workshop helps students understand what is in vaping products, the health effects of vaping, how vaping can affect others, and healthy ways to manage stress. The goal is to give students accurate information so they can make safe, informed choices about their health.

Parents and guardians may request additional information about the presentation from their school’s front office. Questions may also be directed to the Monterey County Health Department at cannabiseducationmchd@gmail.com.

Salinas Public Library has a number of resources for children and families, including e-books and audiobooks; interactive environmental studies lessons; National Geographic Kids; and free bilingual online tutoring.
