Please join us for what should be one of our most popular Parent Learning Communities. Ms. Cohen, who has been a Board member since 2004, will be leading our next Parent Learning Community. She will be discussing what school board members do on behalf of Campbell Union School District students.
Capri Leadership students planned and implemented PJ day as well as games during recess for the younger grades. Games included stacking marshmallows with chopsticks and knocking over cups with a ball. This week they planned Kindness week which included kindness bingo, writing kindness notes and figuring out ways to be positive while playing.
Capri First graders were tasked with building a robot to solve a problem. The problems ranged from doing their homework, cleaning their rooms, and doing the dishes. Lots of creativity, fun and hands-on learning.
Mrs. Wellendorf presented to a large group of prospective parents on Wednesday morning. She discussed learning targets, common core standards, assessments, enrichment programs and ways to get involved at Capri. Parents were treated to a tour of our campus, including the kindergarten classrooms. After the tour, three 5th grade students took over and talked about some of their favorite memories, projects and experiences at Capri.
We will be having one more tour (TK focus) on January 29th at 8:30 am.
Capri's School Site Council met on Tuesday, January 21st. One of their agenda items was to discuss and categorize the results from the district-wide ThoughtExchange. The council reviewed all of the results from both parents and students. These results will be used when making budget decisions for the 2020-2021 school year.
The Living Classroom has already been in Kindergarten classrooms teaching students all about and snacking on the 6 parts of a plant, making vegetable soup with first graders, and teaching 3rd graders what makes a worm mighty! If you are interested in helping out during a lesson, contact your student's teacher.
Each class is trying to spell out "PERFECT ATTENDANCE". Each day every student is in class and on time, the class gets a letter. The first 3 classes to spell perfect attendance gets to celebrate.

TK Information:
If your child's birthday falls between September 2, 2015 and December 2, 2015 then she/he is eligible for transitional kindergarten. TK is essentially an extra public school grade and is designed to be a bridge between preschool and kindergarten. Children who are enrolled in transitional kindergarten can enroll in a regular kindergarten class the following year. Transitional kindergarten classes are designed to prepare children for kindergarten. The program is designed to teach social and emotional skills, such as self-confidence and cooperation, and early academic skills, such as numbers and letters.
If your child meets the birth date requirements, you can enroll them during open enrollment starting in January.
I embrace a growth mindset as a way of thinking that leads to something new and better.
