With just two weeks left to go in the year, I love seeing all the final projects and performances from all schools. How far we have come in one year; amazing job to all students, staff and parents. The PCS summer music program began this week and continues on next week with the DCS final performances.
MHS fast track is just as it sounds, FAST! Working with our Math teachers over these last few weeks has been a joy but I must admit, it has been intense. I commend our teachers and our students for rising to the challenge.
I urge all of you to enjoy these last few weeks and finish strong. Summer break is feels that bit more rewarding when you can look back and be proud of your hard work. Well done!
Lunch Menu for this week…. YUM!

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.

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.

Science with Ms. Diaz
Our plants have sprouted and we have determined that the range of tolerance for plant growth with radish, pea, barley and corn seeds is between 40-80 mL of water. The optimum amount of water seems to be 80 mL based on both the number of sprouts and the measured height of the tallest plant. We had our last test of the year today, Friday June 14th, and are coming around to the the final leg of the DCS school year race! We start our last activity of the year next week, studying salt tolerance of plants and will report back to you soon!

A Message From Ms. Dane- Ms. Dane’s Verbal Expressions/Mock Trial teams
“She did it! No, he did it! I object your Honor! Sustained, Over-ruled “- Just some of the statements heard during the Mock Trial Camp that 16 of our students attended on June 3 and 4 at Venture Academy in Stockton. During the course of intensive training and fun, students learned the basics of Defense and Prosecution, Opening Statements and Closing Arguments and joined with other students from the county to participate in Venture Academy’s yearly event. It was a fantastic opportunity to work with their High School team which is rated #5 in California.
Incoming 6th graders joined with 7th and 8th graders to prepare for next year’s Winning teams and Individual Students.- If the past is a predictor of the future TLC/Discovery should again make a fabulous showing at the County Competition.

Can you change environmental conditions to make things viable for organisms?? The answer is YES! By adding more salt to the hatcheries, students were able to get more shrimp eggs to hatch.

This week in TK, our Furs, Scales, and Tails show was a big hit! Check out all of the fun that our friends had with Banana:
Initial Phase
Check out our June calendar of events (sent home in green folders) for everything coming up this month! There will be detailed information about everything sent home as we get closer — this is more of a “save the date”!
With many schools already being on summer break, now is a good time to reflect and remember why we are so lucky to have a longer year/shorter summer break. Our students are still LEARNING! Curriculum is being taught every day and students are getting many extra days to soak up knowledge. In return, this helps with the transition to first grade as concepts are not “lost” over a long summer break. Our students put a lot of hard work in, and in the end it is so worth it!! Keep up the great work P2!
Phase One:
We are approaching the last month of school and with that means a lot of fun activities and events. A calendar has been sent home with all of these dates. More information will be sent home closer to each of these events.
The students in Phase One have spent the week planning and constructing their marble runs. These projects have been done in groups and had several requirements to meet with only using materials that were brought in. The students have enjoyed the ability to work together as a group, to plan and build these projects. They will be presenting these projects to the class next week. Great job Phase One students!
Phase Two:
Our 3rd and 4th graders have finished their state testing and we are so proud of their hard work! We are eagerly awaiting their scores!
There are many events coming up in June for our Phase 2 students. Please note the following dates:
Monday, June 3rd: 5th grade information night (for current 4th graders) at 5:30
Tuesday, June 4th: Phase 2 Field Trip to Columbia!
Thursday, June 6th: Parent Volunteer Appreciation at Unity
Thursday, June 13th: Music Performance at 6:30 (see green folders for more info)
Thursday, June 20th: Evening of Excellence at 6:00
Tuesday, June 25th: 4th grade breakfast/awards ceremony at 9:00 (see green folders for more info)

Many apprentices go on to secure full-time jobs at the Laboratory, which was named one of Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work in 2019. Students also will tour the Lab’s advanced manufacturing facilities.
The application deadline has been extended to June 7. To apply, fill out page two of the flier below and submit it to LLNL Manufacturing Engineering Section Superintendent Pete Schoenenberger via email (mailto:turner56@llnl.gov).

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.
