TK & K Parent Information NightTop of Page
Please visit the school office any time and stay in touch with your child's teacher - see the Staff Directory for phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
Please consider being involved with our PTO, Panther Club, for school-wide activities.
We also welcome community participation, including donations of time, money, materials and expertise.
In 2010 California adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCCSS) to make sure that all children succeed once they graduate from high school. The Common Core State Standards are important because they will help all children learn the skills and knowledge to help them become college and career ready when they graduate. The new standards make several important changes to current standards. These changes are called shifts. Click here to access a Parent's Backpack Guide to Common Core State Standards.

Parental Notification Letter about School Choice in Year 1 of Program Improvement: Click Here
NCLB requires the state and district to review annually the academic progress of federally funded Title I schools and to identify schools in need of improvement. These schools are identified as PI schools after two consecutive years of not making adequate yearly progress (AYP). California determines AYP by considering the following four measures:
• The percentage of students scoring at the "proficient" or "advanced" level on the California Standards Tests for English-language arts and mathematics
• The percentage of students participating in those tests
• The graduation rate for high schools
• California's own accountability measurement of progress, the Academic Performance Index (API)
