Monday Morning Message
Good Morning!
It feels that it has been a while since I wrote this message. It has been a busy time. High school has completed the school year and is now in full swing with FASTTRACK. It is a lot of work for both students and staff but we all seem to be settling in and getting it done.
The Primary and Discovery staff continue on with distance learning far beyond any school around. I am so pleased with what we are offering.
We are in the planning stages of converting our special education program away from the Tracy unified District to another SELPA that caters to charter schools. The transition will take some work, but we are convinced we will be able to provide better services as a lower cost. Special education parents will be notified of the change soon.
We continue to plan to reopen on August 3. We are not certain what guidelines will be in place by then, but we have demonstrated our flexibility and we will be ready.
The graduation of our seniors was one to be proud of. We have received many compliments. Hats off to the staff that helped work so hard to make it all come together. We are very pleased with what we did.
Sadly,the budget for next year is devastating and will hurt the income of the staff in order to keep all our services and staff in place. The district is cutting staff by almost 100 people. We are maintaining our staff but each of us will have a cut in salary. Don’t worry, the staff is so dedicated, they will continue to work as hard as they do now even for less income. That is just how they are. As the CEO, however, it was a sad decision to make.

Brennan,
We are so proud of you! You have worked so hard and have always strived for excellence in school.

Brennan is an intelligent student, gifted artist, clever writer, and compelling actor. He’s quick to jump on any challenge, first to volunteer ideas, and through his dedication and enthusiasm for new concepts, he won weekly art participation challenges more often than any other student! I have no doubt he will flourish in high school.

Joshua Zulueta
During this pandemic, Joshua finds creative ways to make use of his time. He takes the initiative to help out in the kitchen, assists in meal preparation and clean up. He enjoys assisting his sister bake cookies and bread. Even with all the carbs and delicious food in front of him, he tries to resist the temptation. He had lost at least 10 pounds and is on his journey to lose more.
I’m proud of you Baba!!!
This year, Josh has really come out of his shell in my classroom, and I have been so excited to watch him test out his jokes and sense of humor on his classmates. He is also incredibly bright, and without a doubt, one of the hardest working students I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Congratulations, Josh! I’ll miss the best line leader at Discovery!

Ms. Polo
I will never forget Shahnoor the first week of school falling asleep in my class, from this week on I knew I could rely on him to tell me if my lessons were boring or not. Shahnoor has grown into an incredibly bright student with a personality that could make the whole class smile and laugh. Thank you for bringing me such joy this year! Congrats!!
Ms. Greene
