25-26 Sierra Nevada Journeys
Our PFC has agreed to keep funding these trips on an ongoing basis! Please meet as grade level teams and start planning dates for next year. Below is the message from Sierra Nevada Journeys:
We’ve enjoyed working with Cambridge Heights this year and look forward to working with you all again next year! Please have your teachers fill out this form: Sierra Nevada Journeys School and Field Trip Programs Inquiry Form.
Once they submit this form, I will mark their preferred field study date on our calendar and contact them to confirm and schedule the in-class lesson.
Thank you for being such a great partner!
Take care,
Carly Lubansky | Pronouns: she/her/her | Sales and Community Liaison Manager
Articulation
Q does not like my laptop. I will let you know when this year's articulation is available. It will be on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
The articulation document we will use this year will be added to the 24-25 Staff Information google folder this week. Last year's articulation sheet is already in that folder , but it is view only so you cannot mistakenly edit it.
Hard copies of the articulation color code sheet and district program list were put in your boxes this week. Digital copies are below and in the 24-25 staff google folder that has been shared with teachers.
The process will begin with 4th grade and work its way down the grade levels.
Fire Inspection
Over the break, we received additional reports from our fire inspection. There are several items we need to address before our re-inspection on or about May 2. I’ve included some key points below.
I will be reviewing the report thoroughly with Cody this week and will follow up with each of you directly.
If you anticipate having difficulty completing any of these items, let me know as soon as possible so I can ensure they are taken care of.
- Inspector Comments: Maintain all artwork in classroom to 50% of wall area. Excessive artwork or decorations shall be removed or be flame retardant treated. Classes throughout campus have excessive decoration on wall, ceiling.
- Inspector Comments: All storage shall be 24" below ceiling. Remove storage and maintain 24" throughout.
- Inspector Comments: Remove all storage inside, in front and around wheel chair lifts. Lifts are being used for storage areas. 3 lifts, A8, C5, D7
- Inspector Comments: Remove all decorations from exits. Exits shall not be obstructed with decorations. Evacuation plan and small door opening are allowed to be covered.
