Zero Waste - Update & Assembly, April 18th at 2:30 in the Quesada
As part of our effort to become a Zero Waste school, our teachers and students are working together to find better ways to dispose of our waste rather than committing it to landfill. Rachael Dressler and our fourth graders have spearheaded the effort to gather our Bolinas Campus food scraps and give them to the Murch’s chickens.
Willow Regnery and her fifth/sixth grade class will be overseeing our Bolinas Campus recycling program and Rebecca Braun and her second/third grade class will be coordinating and organizing the Bolinas Campus worm bin.
Rachael and her class will be kicking off this exciting project on Thursday, April 18th at our All School Assembly at 2:30 PM - Come join the fun!
If you are interested in helping with this school wide effort, we are looking for anyone who is willing to take the Stinson Campus food scraps or help with our Stinson Campus recycling program. Please email me if you are interested.
CAASPP TESTING - May 6 -24th, 2019
Students in grades 3-8th will be taking the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). Our testing window opens the week of May 6 and runs until May 24th, 2019.
The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is designed to give information to teachers, students, and their families about what students know and are able to do and whether they are on track to be ready for success in college or a career when they graduate from high school. (CAASPP Resources for Parents Flyer).
In support of our 3rd-8th grade students demonstrating Preparation, Perseverance, and Pride in themselves and our school, we will be bringing back the CAASPPancake Breakfast to kick off our first day of testing!
Room parents will be sending out more information regarding how you can help, by providing classroom snacks and support. If you would like more information on the upcoming testing and how you can support your child, please use the Parent Resources link.
Warmly,
Michelle Stephens
Bolinas-Stinson School Principal
