US Census 2020 - URGENT ACTION NEEDED - 10 minutes of your time? Required by Law
Have you taken the time to complete the 2020 US Census Form?

Impact: “It undergirds every political and civic decision we make!” It allocates 1.5 trillion dollars a year based solely on the numbers collected from the census this year.” A count of the people who live in America not just citizens. If people of color don’t get counted, we will lose $8 billion dollars! Black communities will lose $3.3 billion, Hispanic/Latino communities will lose 4.4 billion, Asian/Pacific Islander - $600 million, Native American/Native Alaskans $200 million EVERY YEAR. Dollars that don’t go into the schools, hospitals, roads but the money will not disappear but go the communities that do get counted. Every 10 years, once it’s done…you don’t get counted for another 10 years. Check your mail and complete the census then ask your family and friends!
Scholars with IEP’s During the Stay in Place Order? - Your Child’s Case Manager Should be in touch with you..
Please know that during the time our schools remain closed due to COVID-19, the District is unable to provide the exact services written in your child's IEP. This is because we believe that the health and safety of our students, staff, and community at large is of paramount concern. Further, the shelter in place orders and the guidance requiring social distancing mandates that changes must be made in the delivery of education to both general education and special education students. Not only is it impossible for the District to implement current IEPs, as written, because schools remain closed, but the health and safety concerns of all dictate that the District not do so. That said, we have developed a contingency plan for your child to receive special education and related services, to the extent that is possible and feasible, during this COVID-19 school closure. Please be assured that this contingency plan to educate your child will only be in place during the COVID-19 school closure, and is necessary to protect your child's health and safety, as well as our student body, staff, your families and the community at large.
Please be advised that the District is not changing your child's IEP placement or services. Rather, the District has developed a contingency education plan to implement during this emergency situation. Therefore, please be assured that when it is safe to resume school, your child will receive the placement and related services that is written in his or her IEP.
As such, please know, that to the extent that is feasible and in line with health and safety, your child will receive some special education and related services, to the greatest extent feasible, but those services will be delivered in an alternative manner, and consistent with the shelter in place order that is currently in place across the State of California
What do you mean your scholar is telling you that they’re on vacation until school reopens?
Are we nurturing our mind, body and soul? What does that look like in your household?
DR. DARY RESOURCES THIS WEEK…Keeping One’s Minds Stimulated?
Picture this morning that had six words hidden in it…did you find them? We can be creative and hide words around the house and have your scholars find them then tell you what the word means while spelling it and using it in a sentence. Visual (Color Purple)!

HISTORY POEM/THOUGHTS
History will remember when the world stopped and the flights stayed on the ground. And the cars parked in the street and the trains didn’t run.
History will remember when the schools closed and the children stayed indoors. And the medical staff walked towards the fire and they didn’t run.
History will remember when the people sang on their balconies, in isolation but so very much together in courage and song.
History will remember when the people fought for their old and their weak. Protected the vulnerable by doing nothing at all.
History will remember when the virus left and the houses opened, and the people came out and hugged and kissed and started again! Kinder than before.
STAY HOME, STAY SAFE AND USE COMMON SENSE!!!
God bless each of you! See you next Sunday at 6:30pm - Tell Some Friends!!!
