The SIC meetings take place the last week of each month and are led by the school leaders. During the meetings, the leaders go over the goals for each school, as stated in the school’s action plan. They discuss the progress made toward the goal, present data, and ask for feedback from the committee members. Each committee is made up of staff members, board members, parents, and students (MHS only). Join us if you can!

SPED SPOTLIGHT:
Planning for life after high school can bring mixed emotions. Parents and students may feel excited, but worried at the same time. For students with disabilities the decisions that need to be made can be especially difficult. The best way to tackle these decisions is to inform yourselves of your rights and possible supports early on in the process. Students who were previously on a 504 plan or an IEP have protections after high school both in educational settings and in the workplace.
Check out this informational website about educational opportunities after high school:
The California Career Center has also compiled several resources for students after high school:

Dear parents, families, and guardians,
With most COVID-related restrictions being lifted, we are now able to prepare to welcome back visitors and volunteers to campus! Our EL team is bringing back the Parent Cafe this month. Parents will gather on campus in the EL room to learn about tips on helping their students succeed in school. Scroll down for more information, including the date and time. The Parent Cafe is open to all parents.
We are in the process of implementing a new system for parent volunteers. All volunteers will be required to complete a new application, provide a current TB test, and complete a Live Scan. If you anticipate becoming a volunteer on a future field trip, volunteering in a classroom, or as a driver for an athletic event and would like to begin the process, you may ask the front office for an application.
We hope you are as anxious to return to on-campus events as we are to welcome you back!

1. Complete the MHS Grade Check Google Form – due for ALL students on 3/16 at 11:59pm. (https://forms.gle/bPvuhjwqxzhXtCJ77) *If you have submitted a Dual Enrollment Form in the past, the MHS Grade Check Google Form is all you have to submit in order to take summer college classes.*
2. Complete the Dual Enrollment Form – ONLY IF you are taking our Summer 2022 Dual Enrollment class, ENG 30 The Film as Literature, as your first class ever AND/OR your first Dual Enrollment class ever.

PLEASE NOTE: All Delta College classes will be online in Summer 2022. These courses will require a high level of independence, as the courses are accelerated (only 6-8 weeks long) and asynchronous, meaning that there are no required Zoom class meetings with your instructor. Students will have to manage themselves to meet deadlines – completing readings, assignments, projects and tests, and reach out to their instructor and/or Delta College staff for help when needed. Online summer college classes require a lot of responsibility and determination. Here are our recommended classes for this semester: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LlFxGJQMg1_wYAVtc1QsHvLgEdgydGMbeUN3-26-CvM/edit?usp=sharing

LUNCH: Ordering lunch is slightly different this year. All students should have a lunch account to pay for lunches. To register, go to https://www.mymealtime.com/ and create an account. You must choose/type in your specific school (Millennium High School) and you will need your student school I.D. number. If you have any difficulties creating an account online, money can still be added to your account by either cash, check, or debit card. You can drop off payment in the lunch dropbox that is located in the main office. We are still in the process of adding new students to our mealtime system and hope to have it completed next week.
Lunch is ordered the day before it is delivered to class. All students should order their lunch during 4th period/HUB time. The Google Classroom code is SEUNSOU. Applications for Free & Reduced meals must be completed and turned in every year. You can apply on the school’s website.

Re: Mask Update
TLC Families,
Yesterday, Governor Newsom announced an update to the masking guidance for K-12 schools in California. Beginning at 11:59 PM on March 11, 2022, California will move from mask requirements to mask recommendations in schools. This means that after 11:59 PM on March 11, 2022, students and staff members (regardless of vaccination status) in K-12 school settings will be strongly recommended, not required, to wear masks while indoors. The Tracy Learning Center schools will comply with the new masking guidance, as we have with all other guidelines and mandates regarding COVID-19 thus far.
Please note that this change does not take effect until after 11:59 PM on March 11, 2022, effectively Saturday, March 12. Masking is still required by all while indoors on school grounds until that date.
If you have any questions, please contact the office at 209-290-0511.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Woods
CEO, Tracy Learning Center

Re: Actualización de cubreboca
familias TLC,
Ayer, el gobernador Newsom anunció una actualización de la guía de cubrebocas para las escuelas Kinder al grado 12 en California. A partir de las 11:59 p. m. A partir del 11 de marzo del 2022, California pasará del requisito de cubreboca a la recomendación de cubrebocas en las escuelas. Esto significa que después de las 11:59 p. m. del 11 de marzo del 2022, se recomendará encarecidamente a los estudiantes y miembros del personal en entornos escolares Kinder al grado 12 que no usen cubrebocas mientras estén en interiores. Las escuelas del Centro de aprendizaje de Tracy (TLC) cumplirán con la nueva guía de uso de cubrebocas, como lo hemos hecho con todas las demás pautas y mandatos con respecto a COVID-19 hasta el momento.
Tenga en cuenta que este cambio no entrará en vigencia hasta después de las 11:59 p. m. del 11 de marzo del 2022, a partir del sábado 12 de marzo. Hasta esa fecha, todos deben enmascararse mientras estén en el interior de la escuela.
Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con la oficina al 209-290-0511.
Atentamente,
carolyn maderas
Director ejecutivo, Centro de aprendizaje Tracy
