School News

Students are considered on time when they are in their classrooms by 8:10 AM.

Research shows that children who are in school or participate in school activities every day do better in school.

The Reason?

• When students miss a day of school, it actually puts them two days behind their classmates
• Students who are absent an average of 15 days a year, miss a year’s worth of school by their senior year.
• Students who are 10 minutes late every day, miss 30 hours of instruction during the year

Arriving on time and staying the full school day is important for your child’s education. It also develops sound work habits, which will serve your child well in the future.

Once again, thank you to those who make sure their child is on time!

Parents of  English Learners (ELs) have an opportunity to be a part of our English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC). This is a committee for parents of children identified as English Learners. The committee meets 4 times a year and serves to provide input on programs and services for English Learners to the Schools and Governing Board.

Our English Learners (ELs) receive the same engaging and rigorous Common Core curriculum as their classmates—with additional language-based support—so that they are ultimately successful in school and fluent in English.

All of our teachers use English Language Development (ELD) Standards along with the Common Core Standards and the California State Standards to give English Learners what they need to develop language and reach grade-level standards.

At Forest Hill, we will be hosting our own meeting on Friday, October 22nd via zoom starting at 8:30 AM.  We hope that you can join us this Friday so that you can meet other parents as well as learn what ELAC is. In addition, we are hoping to have a parent representative attend the District’s meetings and come back and report what you learned to our school’s ELAC meeting. If you are interested, please reach out to Mrs. Chitwood at achitwood [at] campbellusd.org.
