Title I Academic Achievement Award!!
We are so very proud of our students and staff. For the second year in a row, Guerneville School is the only school in Sonoma County to earn this distinction! Read what our State Superintendent of Schools had to say about schools like ours.
From Tom Torlakson our State Superintendent of Schools:
“The progress being made at these schools, which serve our neediest students, should serve as a beacon of hope for California. At a time of fiscal crisis and economic uncertainty, they continue to improve, building a brighter future for their students," Torlakson said. "Their accomplishments prove the value of investing in our schools, and I thank the hardworking parents, teachers, administrators and school employees at these campuses for their efforts."
The criteria to qualify for the Title I award have become more rigorous in recent years. To meet the criteria for this distinction, the school must demonstrate that all students are making significant progress toward proficiency on California's academic content standards. Additionally, the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged students must have doubled the achievement targets set for them for two consecutive years.
Please come to register your young one for Kindergarten! We are ready to see what our new kindergarten class will be for the 2012-2013 school year. Come to the office between February 6th and 10th to get a registration packet.
The new Transitional Kindergarten that has been in the news for so long is without funding (who is surprised?) however the new age range for starting will be phased in. This year, we will register young children who turn five by Nov 2nd, 2012. We would also like to know about any children born between Nov 2nd and Dec. 2nd, 2007. How many are out there?
