English 3D Curriculum

Tuesday was a powerful day of learning for a group of teachers and para-professionals when they learned about our new curriculum to support our English Language Learners. Thank you to all of you for being engaged learners!

                                            

                                            

Building A Strong Community

The staff at La Mesa Blended has worked hard and focused on creating a strong culture where students know they are respected and heard. A few of the steps they are taking to do this is by holding town halls and finding team building activities! I appreciate the work and so do their students!

New Tables and Chairs Continued...

Students across the district were very excited today with the delivery of new tables and chairs. Not only that, but they also had their rooms painted over winter break and as one student told me, "It feels like a brand new school!"

We are very thankful to our team who helped get this project off the ground! If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out!

Words A!ive Luncheon

Students from Lindsay Blended Community School had the honor of being sponsored at today's 12th Annual Words A!ive Author's Luncheon. Diana G., recent Lindsay graduate, shared her writing completed during a Words A!ive Adolescent Book Group with guests. Her stories and others from students at Breaking Cycles, Choice, Innovations Academy of Empowerment, Monarch, La Mesa Community, No. County Tech, So. County Blended and Lindsay can be read in "Journey to Empowerment."  

Dia De Los Muertos

This week at Victoria the students set up an altar to celebrate the Day of the Dead!

Looking Good!

Cuyamaca was the first school to receive the new furniture we have ordered for some of our Community School sites! The goal with our new furniture is to be able to create student centered cooperative spaces. These desks can be moved and placed in different configurations. 

If you get a chance, ask Ellen how it is going or stop by Southland to check out what they have! 

Very exciting times for teaching and learning at JCCS! 

Pumpkin Fun!

The Lindsay girls and their babies had a great time relaxing and enjoying some holiday fun today at the Pumpkin Station in Mission Valley. 

The teachers had a pretty good time too!
