Monarch Memo
January 23-27, 2017
WASC mtg. January 25, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. for all staff
The rainy weather has been more than we are typically used to. Many have opened their doors to students at break time so they may get out of the cold and wet weather. Our facilities crew (Kristine, Manny and Steele) have strapped on their waterproof boots to clear out areas for potential flooding. We appreciate all you do to keep students safe and a priority.
The Freshmen Showcase is coming up on Wednesday, February 15, 2017 from 5:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We would love as many departments, groups and clubs participating as possible. Middle School students talk about these Showcase Nights with excitement and parents truly compare them. Potential students need to know we have so much to offer here at Monte Vista starting with a caring and supportive staff. Please participate in this important evening. Please contact Rad to tell her that you are IN! We look forward to having you here.
The WASC process officially begins this week. All staff members are expected to participate in ALL designated WASC meetings for the entire time. Please plan accordingly and bring your laptop if you have one. The majority of our documents are digital now which makes it easier for many to contribute to the collaboration and writing process. Please remind your students that Wednesday is a minimum day.
Everyone has been assigned to a WASC Focus group. An email was sent last week to share everyone’s group assignment. There is also a copy of the groups and assignments by the sign in sheet in the main office. Please make sure you know what group you are in before attending the meeting on Wednesday afternoon in the gym. Thank you to our Focus Group Leaders and WASC Coordinator(s).
CHROMEBOOK INVENTORY message from Laura Preble
At the moment inventory is critically low. We have had a flood of new students, so our supply has not kept pace with the demand. Many are being repaired to be put back into service, but at the moment, I only have three working CBs to give out to students.
Please be aware of this, and understand that we will do our best to help students with damaged CBs, but I most likely will not be able to swap them out until we get more. (And FYI, we did know we started to run low two weeks ago, but were not able to procure any more CBs from the district at the moment.)

Please note the following:
1. All workshops are voluntary and are offered during the work day

Thank you to Laura Preble for inviting our student to listen to two lovely authors. There was a nice turn out by our students.

We have a few reminders for you this week. Tomorrow (Monday, January 23) between 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. is the ASB sponsored Blood Drive. Students or family members can still make an appointment online at "sandiegobloodbank.org. Remember permission slips are required for students 16 - 17 yrs old. All donors will receive a coupon for a FREE Chipotle Burrito, Burrito Bowl, Salad or order of Tacos, courtesy of Chipotle.
Wednesday, January 25 is a minimum day due to accreditation meetings and there will not be the PRIDE after school program on that day. Thank you for understanding.
As part of of our accreditation process, we review feedback from our families. The results from the California Healthy Kids survey is a great way to get your feedback so we can continue to make Monte Vista a safe and effective learning environment for your child. The California Healthy Kids Survey is on the Monte Vista website in both Spanish and English only until February 17th. Please complete this survey for us. We appreciate your time and cooperation.
Stay warm and dry and have a great week Monarchs.
