DOLPHIN SPLASH

CCUSD board members and administrators celebrated the naming of El Marino Language School as a 2023 California Distinguished School at the California School Recognition Program Ceremony on February 16 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.

The 2023 California Distinguished School Program recognizes California elementary schools that have proven exceptional in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the California State Board of Education for all students. California used a multiple measures accountability system to identify eligible schools based on their performance on the state indicators as specified on the California School Dashboard (Dashboard) – www.caschooldashboard.org.

Eligible schools in the elementary school cycle were selected based upon specific criteria within the following two categories: 1) Closing the Achievement Gap and 2) Exceptional Student Performance.

Congratulations to the entire El Marino team!

Please remember to place a zip lock bag/plastic bag in your child's backpack to protect their library books on rainy days. This also helps to protect books from a water bottle or lunchbox spill.

Thanks for your help!

Hi all,

It is with great sadness that I am informing you that we have decided to cancel and reschedule Pali Camp for now. We believe that this is the safest course of action for both our students and staff at this time. We have been monitoring both news outlets and weather reports. We do not see any other possibility of moving forward with camp this week.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we planned this trip. We are going to work with Pali to get camp rescheduled as soon as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. We hope to have new dates soon.

Sincerely,

Alex
