Yes, it is that time of year when parents, teachers, and I all work together to create our new classrooms for the next school year! At our last PTO meeting I shared with parents the 7 step placement process we follow at Desert Trails, to ensure every voice is heard.
If you would like to fill out a Parent Input Form to help us determine the best placement for your child, there are three ways for you to get the form.
1) visit the site( see LINKS at the top of this blog), print, and send to the office!
2) visit our school site, look under Parent Resources, print, and send to the office!
3) pick up the form in the school office!
I hope one of these options will make this process easy for you! The deadline to getting the form in is May 3, 2010.
Technology News: Desert Trails has been selected to be one of two schools to pilot the new Smart Table!!! Similar to the Smart board, this interactive table will enable a small group of students to collaborate, problem solve, and use other 21st Century Skills in learning content. This is an exciting move forward as we strive to embed technology into the classroom. Be watching for more information!
School Council, working with our teacher leadership team, PAC, are moving through the process of creating and aligning our D.T. COMPASS 2015 goals, objectives, and strategies to the District's COMPASS 2015. Please see the PVUSD website for more information.
Last but not least: Thank you for your cooperation this week and last week. The hallways and campus have been extra quiet, allowing students and teachers to focus on the task, AIMS. This week 4th grade will tackle the Science AIMS, and we will be catching up any make-up AIMS. We are almost done! Thank you again.
