Project Cornerstone Book-of-the-Month #2
Dear Parents/Guardian:
This month in your child’s classroom, we will be reading the book The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson. This book provides opportunities for conversations around tolerance and acceptance of others, while also ensuring that children are given the tools for taking the first step to make themselves included. It also makes us aware about the importance of creating a caring school climate where everyone feels they belong. The goal is to help the students embrace and nurture each individual for who they are.
We discuss these behaviors:
• Greet each other authentically
• Don’t make fun of others
• Resolve misunderstandings and disagreements immediately
• Listen, listen, listen
• Speak clearly, directly, and honestly
• Use your voice
• Don’t be afraid to ask to be included
• Ask others to share their ideas, thoughts, and experiences
• Be brave
We hope you will talk with your child about The Day You Begin. To reinforce the message at home:
▪ Brainstorm ideas to do intentional acts of caring for family, friends, and neighbors. Choose one or two to do together.
▪ Give positive reinforcement to your child for actions and remarks that show empathy and compassion for others.
By teaching our children the importance of accepting others and sharing intentional acts of caring, we create a stronger school community where all students feel safe and know that they belong.
Volunteers and paid yard duty noon aides supervise our students during lunch. We are in desperate need for people to help us with this. If you are able to help from 11:30 to 1:00 one or more days per week, please stop by our office or call us at (408) 364-4259. We can inform you about how to sign up to volunteer or apply to be paid to fill one of these positions on a full or part time basis. Please consider helping us with this! Thank you!

The science assessment scores will not be available until January 2020. The site says that the ELPAC (ELD) scores will not be available until the state verifies the results. When they are released, I will share them with you.
As you know, birthdays and birthday parties are a big deal for children. These events are looked forward to with great anticipation.
Please be mindful that invitations of any kind should not be distributed at school when children are present. This leads to hurt feelings and tears if some children are invited and others are not. Please be aware of the potential impact on our students and find another way to invite children to a party that you are giving. Thank you!
Campbell Union School District permits students to carry cellular phones. However, students may not use cellular phones during the school day. This is a rule at Marshall Lane that is also enforced at Rolling Hills Middle School.
Cellular phones mustbe turned off during the school day and kept in the student’s backpack so as not to disturb or disrupt instruction. Students who violate this policy may be subject to disciplinary action. The District assumes no liability for the loss or theft of cellular phones. If your student carries a cell phone, please review this policy with them.
Each year at the Spring Fling, two parking spaces in the upper lot are part of the Silent Auction offerings. Parents bid on these spaces and then are able to use them for the entire school year. Spaces are clearly marked. Please do not park in these spaces. Thank you!
September is Attendance Month! It is essential for your healthy student(s) to be at school on time every day ready to learn. Please plan vacations around the school schedule. Our job is to teach your child, and we are unable to do so if they are not present every day. We appreciate you partnering with us to provide the best possible education for your children. Thank you!
