Welcome Back Letter for Elementary Families


2014-15 WELCOME BACK LETTER FOR ELEMENTARY FAMILIES

Se puede leer en español más abajo.

Dear Elementary School Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2014-15 school year! The start of a new school year is an
exciting time for all of us.

Great Teams in Every School
Our schools have excellent teams of principals, teachers, and staff working
together to provide the best educational environment for your child. Our schools
have the support of a dynamic team of school district leaders and staff who are
all committed to offering every student a world class education. We now have a
three year plan in place to increase direct services and support to our students
and families. As the school year gets rolling, you will be hearing more about
the goals and benefits of our new Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).

Expanding the Toolbox
As I enter my second year as Superintendent in Berkeley, my focus will be on
ensuring we have strong systems of support for all students in every school. Our
goal is to engage every student by offering opportunities for deep connections
with caring adults. This year all of our K-6 students will benefit from a
social-emotional curriculum that promotes the use of practical tools for
learning and life (“the Toolbox“). A positive and nurturing environment is the
first step in ensuring that all of our students have access to our rich and
challenging curriculum.

Kindergarten enrollment is up
The number of young families choosing to live in Berkeley and attend our public
schools is growing. In the last six years we have seen our annual kindergarten
enrollment grow from around 600 new kindergartners a year to more than 700
across the district. The state-mandated transitional kindergarten program for
students turning five years old in the fall has also contributed to the
increasing enrollment. We want all of our new families to feel welcome. While we
have been able to rely on portable classrooms and new construction to
accommodate most enrollment growth, we are pressed to maximize the use of all
available learning spaces while keeping our commitment to reasonable class
sizes. We are looking at long-term facilities plans and enrollment projections
to plan for the years ahead.

Contracts settled with three of four employee unions; Final phase with
classified union
In the spring we settled contracts with three of our employee bargaining units
representing our teachers, our administrators, and our classified managers. As
we enter the final phase of negotiations with our fourth bargaining unit – the
Berkeley Council of Classified Employees (BCCE), the union representing our bus
drivers, instructional assistants, and other classified employees – we hope to
be able to finalize a contract in the fall that includes our best salary
increase offer.

Partners at home
Back-to-School Night (September 4) is the first of many opportunities for us to
partner with you this year. I encourage you to come out and meet your child’s
teacher(s) as well as other school staff, and begin to develop an open dialogue
that will benefit your child during the entire school year. We want to share our
grade level expectations for your child with you, as well as to give you access
to the resources and programs available to ensure your child’s academic success.

Attendance
Starting a new school year is a good time to make new resolutions. Please help
us in meeting our goals for students by arriving to school on time and making
school attendance every day a top priority.

Together we can.

Sincerely,

Donald Evans, Ed.D.

Superintendent

 

Estimados Padres y Tutores Legales de Alumnos en las Escuelas Primarias,

¡Bienvenidos al año escolar 2014-15! El principio de un nuevo año escolar es
emocionante para todos nosotros.

Buenos Equipos de Trabajo en Cada Escuela
Nuestras escuelas cuentan con excelentes equipos formados por directores,
maestros y personal docente trabajando unidos para ofrecer el mejor ambiente
educacional para su hijo. Nuestras escuelas cuentan con el respaldo de un equipo
emprendedor formado por líderes del distrito escolar y personal docente los
cuales están todos comprometidos a ofrecer a cada estudiante una educación de
primera clase (“world class school district”). Ahora contamos con un plan de
tres años de duración para incrementar los servicios directos y el respaldo para
nuestros estudiantes y familias. A medida que el año escolar comience a avanzar,
usted escuchará más información acerca de las metas y beneficios de nuestro
nuevo Plan Responsable del Control de los Fondos Monetarios Locales (LCAP).

Ampliando los Instrumentos de Aprendizaje
A medida que me encuentro en mi segundo año como Superintendente en Berkeley, mi
enfoque será asegurar que tengamos sistemas sólidos para respaldar a todos los
estudiantes en cada escuela. Nuestra meta es el involucrar a cada estudiante
ofreciéndole oportunidades para conexiones más profundas con adultos que se
preocupen por ellos. Este año todos nuestros estudiantes K-6 se beneficiarán de
un plan de estudio socio-emocional el cual promueve el uso de instrumentos
prácticos para el aprendizaje y la vida (“the Toolbox“). Un medio ambiente
positivo y cuidadoso es el primer paso en asegurar que todos nuestros
estudiantes tengan acceso a nuestro plan de estudio enriquecido y desafiante.

Ha aumentado el número de inscripciones en Kínder
El número de familias jóvenes que deciden vivir en Berkeley y asistir a nuestras
escuelas públicas está aumentando. Durante los últimos seis años hemos visto
crecer nuestras inscripciones anuales para kínder de aproximadamente 600 nuevos
niños en kínder cada año a más de 700 en todo el distrito. El programa de kínder
de transición ordenado por el estado para aquellos estudiantes que cumplen cinco
años este otoño ha contribuido también al incremento en las inscripciones.
Deseamos que todas nuestras familias nuevas se sientan bienvenidas. Mientras que
hemos logrado depender de salones de clase portátiles y nuevas construcciones
para alojar la mayor parte de nuestras nuevas inscripciones, nos vemos
presionados para usar al máximo todos los espacios disponibles para el
aprendizaje al mismo tiempo que mantenemos nuestro compromiso con el número de
alumnos razonable en cada salón de clase. Estamos contemplando planes con
instalaciones a largo plazo y con las proyecciones de las inscripciones para
planear los próximos años.

Se establecieron los contratos de trabajo con tres de nuestros cuatro
sindicatos; la fase final con el sindicato de empleados clasificados
En la primavera establecimos contratos con tres de las unidades de negociaciones
de nuestros empleados las cuales representan a nuestros maestros, nuestros
administradores, y nuestros directores clasificados. A medida que entramos en la
fase final de negociaciones con nuestra cuarta unidad – Berkeley Council of
Classified Employees (BCCE), sindicato que representa a nuestros choferes de los
autobuses escolares, ayudantes de maestros, y otros empleados clasificados –
esperamos lograr finalizar un contrato en el otoño el cual incluye nuestra mejor
oferta de aumento de salario.

Copartícipes en el hogar
Back-to-School Night Noche de Orientación para los Padres de Familia (4 de
septiembre) es la primera de muchas oportunidades para participar con usted este
año. Le exhorto a que asista a la escuela y conozca al maestro(s) de su hijo así
como también al personal docente, y comience a desarrollar un dialogo abierto
que beneficiará tanto a usted como a su hijo a través de todo el año escolar.
Deseamos compartir con usted las expectativas que tenemos para su hijo, así como
también darle a usted acceso a los recursos y programas disponibles para
asegurar el éxito académico de su hijo.

Asistencia
El comenzar un nuevo año escolar es una buena oportunidad para hacer nuevas
resoluciones. Por favor ayúdenos a cumplir con las metas que tenemos para los
estudiantes trayéndolos a la escuela a tiempo y haciendo que la asistencia a sus
clases diariamente sea su prioridad principal.

Unidos podemos.

Sinceramente,

Donald Evans, Ed.D.

Superintendente

Immunization

If your child is new to Berkeley Unified School District or starting preschool,
transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, or 7th grade, you will need to provide
your child’s school with documentation that your child has been fully immunized.
California state law (Senate Bill 277) no longer allows parents/guardians of
students to submit a personal belief exemption form for any currently required
immunizations.

Children who have not provided BUSD with documentation verifying they have
received all required immunizations prior to the first day of school will not be
allowed to attend school until all immunization records have been provided.
