Extended Day Program Survey
The Superintendent of Schools Office has
asked parents that have their children attend
an extended day school to complete a survey
regarding the extended day program.
The survey is available in English or Spanish
for parents ease in completion.
Your child's teacher will hand out the survey
on Monday and we ask that the survey be
completed by Wednesday. Extra copies will
be available from Alba should parents need
an extra.
It is hoped that all parents complete the
form so that an accurate portrayal of the
program is represented to the
Superintendent of Schools Office.
As we approach the final week of the first quarter
of the 2009-2010 school year your child will
be administered a short exam to ascertain
the teaching/learning that was accomplished
this quarter. These exams will be administered
in all subject areas for students in grades
K-8. The vocabulary test this last Friday was
the first of these exams.
As a reminder to parents the quarter will end
November 3rd and report cards will be distributed
November 10th. Please remember that on November 10th
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held
from 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM. Please make time to meet
with your child's teacher regarding their progress
during the first quarter.
This week the Safe Environment Curriculum will
be taught to all children.

Final Note- It is my intention to open
the SIS (Student Information System)
Web mail for parents to
contact teachers during November. It is the
first step towards the complete opening
of the SIS system for teacher/parent/student
interaction about grades etc. Parents will
be requested to give Alba an email address
that they use regularly. Parents need to note
that we will enter only one e-mail address a year
so it should be an e-mail address that you will
have until June, 2010.
In December students will also be requested to give
Mr. Woods an e-mail address of their own so
that they will be able to review their grades.
Mr. Woods will first train the students in
January 2010 and then there will be a parent
meeting in January to explain the whole system.
Since the students are more savvy about using
e-mail and Internet web sites it is hoped that
they will assist their parents in understanding
the SIS system.
In January, Mr. Marcial will also have
the computer room open after school
to assist parents.
