Personal Days for Next School Year 2019/2020
VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE for our upcoming 2019/2020 school year Beginning August 5, 2019, we are reducing personal/family days for students from 10 days down to 7 days. Allowing 7 days is still much higher than what the district schools allow and we feel 7 days is more beneficial for the school and for each students’ education.
NOW HIRING: Athletic Coaches
Interested in taking on the rewards and challenges of coaching a high school athletic team? Millennium Athletics is currently creating a coaching pool for all sports and levels, as the life of a coach is ever changing.

Incoming 7th Graders – Very Important!
As required by California law, (Health and Safety Code 120325 – 120375), parents need to provide proof of receiving the Tdap vaccine (Pertussis – Whooping Cough Booster) and proof of receiving 2 doses of Varicella (Chicken Pox) Vaccine
All students entering 7th – 12th grades must have proof of a Tdap booster shot. Documentation must state the shot was given on or after their 7th birthday. This means ALL current 6th graders must get up to date. They must also show proof of 2 Varicella -Chicken Pox Vaccines.
It is important that you begin now, to ensure your child get their vaccination and to avoid appointment delays.
Receiving the immunizations and ensuring they are up to date now, will not only protect them against Pertussis, but also ensure class placement and prevent exclusion from school in the coming year. No 7th-12 grade students will be allowed to attend school next year without up to date immunizations.

All PreK, TK, PCS and 8th Grade Promotion Picture Packets Must Be Returned to teachers or office by May 10, 2019!
TK
This week in TK, we learned how to care for our environment!
Our pal Wasteful Wally stopped by to teach us all about: recycling, reusing materials, and preventing waste. We learned the importance of conserving water and electricity. Plus, we discussed donating things to people in need, rather than throwing them away. We also began to share our Recycled Art projects; and, boy, oh boy, did we come up with some creative ideas. Our classroom was filled with bird feeders, pencil holders, and piggy banks galore!
Initial Phase
Next week our students will be participating in some testing where we will be able to see how much they have learned and grown! This test will only take a couple minutes and is done one on one with a teacher. So it is important to note that your child will not be testing every day. We need your help to make sure that your student gets a good nights sleep, has a nutritious breakfast before coming to school, and encourage them to do their best. Students will be participating in fun activities each day that we are testing. On Friday, we will be walking to the park. If you haven’t returned your child’s permission slip please do so by Monday.
Don’t forget to send in your jog-a-thon envelopes with your collected pledges!
Phase One:
This week, the students in Phase One participated in their first testing week and did a fantastic job! They were all so excited and eager to participate. Each day, there were some fun activities in the afternoon to keep the students motivated. The teachers are so proud of how focused they all were and how serious they took this. Teachers will be sending home these results with report cards at the end of the trimester.
For the last couple of weeks in science the students have been learning about engineering and next week they will be construction their own marble run. They will be building these in groups and presenting them the following week. If you have any supplies that the students could use for these please send them in with your student.
Phase Two:
Our phase 2 students had their SBAC state tests this week in LA and math. We are so proud of their hard work and how seriously they are taking it. We will continue testing next week. Thank you to the parents who donated extra snacks for our testing days. We also enjoyed some “brain breaks” during the week, including walking to the park and a dance party on Friday!
We have selected chaperones for our upcoming field trip to Columbia on June 4th. We are excited to learn more about the Gold Rush on our upcoming visit to this fun old town!
Please save the date for the 5th grade information night (for current 4th graders) on June 3rd at 5:30 p.m.

A note from Ms. Diaz
It was an interesting week in class with hatching brine shrimp eggs after creating hatcheries with four different salt conditions. We found out that brine shrimp need to be in salt water in order to hatch, and will now try to get additional eggs to hatch by adding more salt to the hatcheries. Students have started their trimester project booklets and will continue to work on this the rest of the trimester. We will be having a test within the next couple of weeks about what we’ve learned so far about ecosystems and environmental conditions. Keep exploring!

A Note about Testing:
This week every student spent ample time on State Testing. We have been practicing thoroughly all year long and have now completed the science (8th grade only), math, and language arts tests.
In reflection many of the students felt very secure and confident about their testing experience and I am confident that no matter how each student did, they have worked hard, practiced diligently, and demonstrated the necessary amount of seriousness and focus required during testing.
The scores for each test will be given in a couple of weeks! Look out for any notices or information sent home by your students’ teachers about their results.
If your student was absent during testing we will have make up days scheduled to accommodate them.
Job well done students! It was a long and grueling week for all of us, but I am certain their hard work will pay off!

TK
It has been an exciting week of learning in TK! We learned about the life cycles of the chicken and the frog! We participated in several life cycle art projects, illustrating the growth process of each, starting from the egg. Did you know that female frogs can lay up to 4,000 eggs at a time?
We also studied plants this week. We learned that plants need: sunlight, water, and soil to grow. We also learned to identify and label the: stem, leaves, roots, and flower of a plant. Finally, we studied the life cycle of a plant starting from the seed. Be sure to ask us about the new and interesting things we’ve learned!
Initial Phase
Next week our students will be participating in some testing where we will be able to see how much they have learned and grown! This test will only take a couple minutes and is done one on one with a teacher. So it is important to note that your child will not be testing every day. We need your help to make sure that your student gets a good nights sleep, has a nutritious breakfast before coming to school, and encourage them to do their best. Students will be participating in fun activities each day that we are testing. On Friday, we will be walking to the park. If you haven’t returned your child’s permission slip please do so by Monday.
Don’t forget to send in your jog-a-thon envelopes with your collected pledges!
Phase One:
The students in Phase One will be participating in some testing next week. For our first graders they will be tested one on one with a teacher and will only take a few minutes. The second graders will take their test on the ChromeBooks and will also only take a couple of minutes. Students will not be testing everyday, rather they will only test two days next week. Encourage your child to do their best, get enough sleep every night, eat a good breakfast and be at school on time.
To celebrate our testing week, every afternoon there will be some fun activities. Wednesday, the fun activity will be a walking field trip to the park. If you have not turned in the permission slip please do so ASAP. There will also be a raffle in the morning at Unity for those students that were at school on time and tried their best on their test. Good luck!!
Phase Two:
We had a great week in phase 2…we learned more about the gold rush and California history. We discussed the different routes to California and how dangerous it was to travel west. Did you know that many of the gold miners never got rich, but some business owners earned a fortune! We are going to use all of our gold rush knowledge to put on our gold rush day in June.
Please remember that state testing for phase 2 will begin on May 20th. Please see the information letter that came home on Friday.

A note from Mr. Bird
This week, our Falcon Historians are continuing our unit titled “Road to the Revolution.” We are having fun learning about the many causes leading to the Revolutionary War. Our Falcon Historians learned about the French and Indian War, Sugar and Stamp Acts, Proclamation of 1763, and the Committees of Correspondence so far. They created amazing acrostic poems to describe the Royal Proclamation, wrote letters to me expressing their opinions about a classroom supplies tax (fake tax, of course!), and will be creating protest posters to boycott British goods after learning about the Townshend Acts this week. To end this week, we will be analyzing Paul Revere’s famous engraving depicting the Boston Massacre.
Science with Ms. Diaz
5/6th science have finished state testing in science and have moved on to learning about the environment, habitats and ecosystems. Students have set up their own brine shrimp hatcheries, testing
how a change in salinity affects shrimp hatching. They will continue to work with these and other organisms for the rest of the trimester
LA with Ms. Rodieck
This week we did State Testing, but also had the opportunities to learn what it will be like to have block classes next year. Scholastic and Honors continued to read Full Cicada Moon and Varsity continued with Shooting the Moon. Soon all three classes will be reading Romeo and Juliet.
All three classes had the opportunity to work on their SWO project and to read, write, and understand poetry. Next week we will have weekly words again – and a quiz on Friday.
LA with Ms. Christensen
This week in Language arts the students took their SBAC test. They put a lot of time and effort into the writing portions of the test. Scholastic and Varsity also read from our book Shooting the Moon and Honors started reading Full Cicada Moon. This book is set in 1969 about a half-African-American and half-Japanese girl named Mimi who is determined to beat the odds and become an astronaut. The story is told in poems from Mimi’s viewpoint.
In Humanities, we completed our art unit and will prepare for our final and begin our final unit in music. The students are also working on their SWO projects during this time. They will show these on May 29th at the Transitional Night at the Museum event at DCS.

A weekly newsletter written to parents of the TLC
Mrs. Stewart
Happy Mother’s Day! As we celebrate this day, it is important to remember the ultimate teachers for our children are their parents. Children learn the most from them. They model them, they develop similar values and beliefs. It is such an awesome responsibility. It is always so important we try to do the job of parenting as best we can. We all realize the sacrifice and challenges that face us as we continue in the life long job of parenting. Yes, it is a life long job. As our children grow, we need to adjust and refine the role we play, but we continue to be the parent who guides and listens and suggests when it is wanted. There are many stages to parenting. Enjoy the moment and the stage you are now experiencing.

TK
We had so much fun celebrating our wonderful mothers this week!
During Science, we worked hard all week long to craft lovely bouquets with petals describing all of the things that make our moms extra special!
We also created customized placemats to use during our Mother’s Day Luncheon. We are very grateful to all of the mothers and grandmothers who joined us for this special event!
Initial Phase
First, we would like to wish all the amazing Moms in our class a very Happy Mother’s Day! We hope you all enjoy your special day, you deserve it!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our jog-a-thon! Our class worked so hard to prepare for it and it definitely showed! We are so proud of the amount of effort each student put in and are amazed at the amount of laps that the students ran! Now it is time to go out and collect money from your pledges and then return the jog-a-thon envelopes as soon as possible! There are many prizes for top earners for both classes and individuals!
Phase One:
The Jog-a-Thon was this Friday and the students did AMAZING! It is always so fun and inspiring to watch how determined and motivated they are to beat their previous years lap count. Great job Phase One students!
The students in Phase One will be doing testing May 20-24. There was a letter sent home in Monday’s red folder explaining testing and all the fun activities we have planned for the students in the afternoon. Please make sure that your child gets enough sleep, eats a good breakfast and is at school ON TIME. Testing will begin first thing in the morning.
Phase One teachers would like to thank all the parents and students that showered us with gifts this week in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. We feel so special and loved!
Phase Two:
We had a great week in phase 2…we learned more about the gold rush and California history. We discussed the different routes to California and how dangerous it was to travel west. Did you know that many of the gold miners never got rich, but some business owners earned a fortune! We are going to use all of our gold rush knowledge to put on our gold rush day in June.
Please remember that state testing for phase 2 will begin on May 20th. Please see the information letter that came home on Friday.

Note:VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE for our upcoming 2019/2020 school year Beginning August 5, 2019, we are reducing personal/family days for students from 10 days down to 7 days. Allowing 7 days is still much higher than what the district schools allow and we feel 7 days is more beneficial for the school and for each students’ education.
7th-8th State Testing is May 20th-24th. A notice will be sent home with reminders

This week all classes are spending a lot of time focusing on their essay writing skills. We have workshopped their introduction paragraphs and have shifted our focus to their body and conclusion paragraphs. These workshops have allowed me to read each paragraph individually and provide immediate feedback. I believe this will dramatically improve the students confidence and ability in essay writing.
We have also spent more time reading from our novel and preparing for the state standardized tests. Please remember that 7th/8th graders are testing May 20th-24th in Math, Language and Science (8th graders only).
Math:

Verbal Expressions with Ms. Dane
Mask Museum display is on the wall showing the terrific research and projects that the 7/8 students did in Drama/Verbal Expression. They first made a short powerpoint showing some of the the styles of masks different cultures have and then decided on a design to develop for their blank mask. Paint, marker, glitter, foam were used to make the design and complete the project.
⅚ students wrote original scripts and made sock puppets and have been performing all week.
During testing weeks Ms. Dane’s enrichment will be Mixed Media collage and design elements.
Mock Trial competed Sat. May 4th, where we took 4 Individual Most Valuable Player awards. Congrats girls and onward to the next trial.

Millennium High School
TLC/ Millennium High School recently entered into an agreement with Interquest Detection Canines, Inc., to provide trained detection canines to conduct random, unannounced inspections of all campus locations in the district.
These canines are trained to detect the presence of illicit drugs, alcohol, and gunpowder-based items. Campus buildings, parking lots, and grounds will be randomly inspected for prohibited items. If detected and found, the administration will initiate the appropriate disciplinary action.
These canines are non-aggressive retrieving breeds such as golden and labrador retrievers. They are trained to discriminate specific “scents” of contraband items and indicate the area where the scent is detected. Interquest provides service to over 1,200 public school districts across the nation.
With the recent publicity concerning the dramatic increase in teenage drug use, Tracy Learning Center / Millennium High School is taking every reasonable precaution to insure a safe and healthy learning environment for all concerned.

TK
It was a great week back in TK!
During Science, we learned about the life cycles of the butterfly and bumblebee. We completed art projects that demonstrated the process from egg to larva to pupa to adult. We read a silly story about an impatient caterpillar who couldn’t wait to become a butterfly. Plus, we participated in a cut-and-paste related to bumblebee facts!
We also reviewed all of our math and language concepts from earlier in the school year, and, we are happy to report, absolutely no regression since Spring Break! Our students have grown dramatically, and have made great strides in reading and mental math! We are SO proud of them!
Initial Phase
Don’t forget to collect pledges for the jog-a-thon! It will come up quick when we get back from spring break!
Parents will be charged a late fee as stated in our PCS Handbook of $10 for all late Primary students that are picked up after PCS carline is over (3:35pm). Please pay Kay or Angie in the office and your child will be sent to the office. Cash or checks only.
Phase One:
The Phase One teachers would like to thank all of the parents and families that donated eggs to our classroom egg hunts. This is a yearly tradition that the students absolutely LOVE and it would not be possible without your donation.
Jog-a-Thon envelopes were sent home on Monday. This is a really fun and easy fundraiser so remember to get those pledges!
Phase Two:
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a relaxing spring break. Our phase 2 students have state testing coming up soon…May 20th will begin our two weeks of standardized testing. Please note that we will test from 8:30-12:30 every day so please make sure your child is on time!
This week we started our Gold Rush unit…it was such an exciting time in our California history and our students are loving this subject! Some classes even did a “cookie mining” simulation where they purchased “land” (cookies!) and mining supplies (toothpicks). It was a great lesson in just how hard it was to strike it rich!
