					<description><![CDATA[Your child’s teacher will share their goals for the class and for your child. They’ll also share information about their teaching style and methodology and classroom expectations. This is an excellent opportunity to meet your child's teacher and other AES parents in your child's classroom.

This is an evening for parents or guardians to meet the teacher. Childcare is available for students enrolled at AES.

We have changed the format of the evening to make it more flexible for parents.
Teachers will have two sessions and parents can attend either. We'd love to see you at the whole group meeting at 5:30pm.

5:30 - 5:55 - Greetings in the cafteria for everyone
6:00 - 6:25 - First session: parents can attend any of their child(ren) teachers
6:30 -7:00 - Second session: parents can attend any of their child(ren) teachers]]></description>

Third grade: April 29 - May 10 
 Fourth Grade: May 13 - 17
 Fifth Grade: May 20 - 24

This month the students will be taking the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment (SBAC). The SBAC is an assessment to measure growth and achievement. The computerized test is adaptive and measures students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The students will take a computer
adapted test (CAT) and performance task (PT), for English-language arts (ELA), and mathematics.
Parents can help prepare their children for testing by making sure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and bring a nutritious snack.]]></description>

				<link>http://www.arcataelementaryschool.org/apps/news/article/1629527</link>

					<description><![CDATA[Last spring students in grades 3-5 took the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English language arts and math. Students in grade 5 also took the California Science Test.
These tests can be combined with other measures like report card grades, classroom work, and teacher observations to give families and teachers a more complete picture of each child’s learning. You can use these results to identify where your child is doing well and where they might need more support. It is important to know that summative test results are not used to determine whether a student moves to the next grade.
You can access your child’s results using Student/ParentVUE, using the menu to select “State Testing.”
Your child’s score report will give you information about how well they met the expectations of the grade level and where they are doing well or need more support in each subject. This is helpful information to discuss with your child’s teacher to understand how they can be better supported in the classroom and how you can support learning at home.
To learn more about your child’s scores, go to the Starting Smarter website at https://www.ca.startingsmarter.org/. There, you will find information about test results, sample test questions, free resources to support your child’s learning, and a guide to prepare for parent-teacher conferences.
If you have questions or concerns, please call the school office at 707-822-4858 to arrange a conference with your child’s teacher during the upcoming school year.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We would love to see your child be part of our summer school program!  This year our program will be designed using Project Based Learning (PBL).  PBL is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge. As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.  Students will be building reading, writing, math, and social skills during this four-week session.
The last day to register is May 28, 2021.

Extended School Year Schedule
Week 1: Tuesday, July 6 - Friday, July 9
Week 2: Monday, July 12 - Friday, July 16
Week 3: Monday, July 19 - Friday, July 23
Week 4: Monday, July 26 - Friday, July 30
Class Hours: 8:30 am - 12:00  

Please call the school for more information, 707-822-4858.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Our librarian at AES, Mrs. Allen, has started a diversity audit of our library collection.  With the help of Ryan Keller, the Library Media/Learning Specialist at the Humboldt County Office of Education, Mrs. Allen will be collecting data about our library books.  
The data will help us learn the percentage of books that reflect various identities (Indigenous, POC, White, people with disabilities, LBGTQ, and more), and then we can target underrepresented areas that need more books. Our goal is to include as many books as possible to reflect the diversity that we have at AES.
It's a BIG project.  Mrs. Allen will be auditing one category of books at a time.  Our first audit will be our picture book collection. We look forward to keep you updated on our progress.
Do you want to know more about auditing a library collection? Check out this article from School Library Journal (SLJ):

There is a free ParentVUE app by EduPoint for iOS and Android. If you are a new parent/guardian at our school district, or you need another activation key, please contact of school office.

					<description><![CDATA[One of the most important things your child can do to achieve academic success is also one of the most basic: going to school every day. In fact, research has shown that your child's attendance record may be the biggest factor influencing her academic success. 
By attending class regularly, your child is more likely to keep up with the daily lessons, assignments, and activities. Just by being present at school, your child is learning how to be a good citizen by participating in the school community, learning valuable social skills, and developing a broader world view.
Your commitment to school attendance will also send a message to your child that education is a priority for your family, going to school every day is a critical part of educational success, and that it's important to take your responsibilities seriously.
Each month we recognize students with 100% attendance.  The names of those students become part of a drawing at the monthly assembly, and the winners receives an award. A winner is chosen from each grade level.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The annual Arcata School District Community Survey
survey is ready! The deadline to complete the survey is Friday, April 19th. The survey link was shared with families via email and text.

Please take the survey - it's brief but comprehensive. The computer lab will be available at the AES Open House on Thursday, April 11, 6:00 - 7:00 pm if you'd like to stop by and spend a few minutes taking ting the survey.

Your input is extremely important to the Arcata School District, and helps inform our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and allocate resources through our Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Active engagement of parents, school staff members, students and the community helps determine funding priorities and program development. Through our LCAP and LCFF we will address California's 8 state priorities and better meet the needs of low- income students, foster youth and English language learners.

Thank you for helping support our school district!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At our monthly assembly three members of the Arcata High School Interact Club (Rotary) spoke to the students about Polio.  They did a fabulous job of explaining the importance of the program.

Arcata High School Interact Club has made Rotary Polio Buttons to help raise money for polio eradication efforts. For each Rotary Polio Button that is sold for 50¢, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will donate an additional 50¢ to Rotary efforts to eradicate polio. 

With this $1.00, ten doses of the polio vaccines can be administered. With the help of your donations, we can get one step closer to eradicating polio.

Rotary International has been working to eradicate Polio for more than 30 years, and has helped to reduce polio cases by 99.9%. They have helped to immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries. Although polio is not nearly as prominent as it once was, it still remains endemic to three countries: Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, May 14, our school will take part in the seventh annual region wide Taco Tuesday! The lunchtime event will showcase tacos made with local beef. Clint Victorine and the ranchers that sell through his Pacific Pastures and Eel River Organic Beef labels are once again the primary sponsors. Their beef cattle are completely free of steroids, antibiotics, hormones, and genetically modified foods.

The tacos will be accompanied by Humboldt Creamery sour cream and the salsa that won the Most Marketable award at the 2018 Kid’s Salsa Recipe Competition. Called “Double Delicious Tropical Salsa,” the recipe was created by a team of after school students from Lafayette Elementary School while working with Chef Josh Wiley of Restaurant Five Eleven. Eureka Natural Foods, sponsor of the Salsa Competition, will be producing over 30 gallons of salsa for the May 14 event.

Thanks so much to our local businesses for sponsoring Taco Tuesday, and to the Humboldt County Office of Education for organizing the event. Be sure to check out local beef and student-created salsa in the cafeteria during Taco Tuesday on May 14!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Saturday, two AES students interviewed Mary from Miller Farms Nursery as part of their science fair project.  For a science project, and interview with an expert in the field is part of the Evidence of Knowledge on the scoring rubric.

Why is a science fair project such a great learning experience? Science projects involve so much more than science - there is research (library and computer), writing, math, planning skills, and if the student works with a partner, they develop collaboration skills. Preparing a science fair project is also an excellent example of what education experts call active learning or inquiry (also "hands-on" learning).

AES Science Fair Projects due Tuesday, February 26th. Winners will move on to the Humboldt County competition March 18 - 22.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The fourth grade class at AES will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on January 30, 2019. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement across the country. The results are released as The Nation’s Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents, policymakers, and the public.
Students will take an assessment in mathematics, reading, or science. In addition to subject area questions, NAEP survey questionnaires are voluntarily completed by students. Students may also receive an extended questionnaire that takes up to 10 more minutes and asks additional contextual questions. The questionnaires help by providing valuable information about participating students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and out of the classroom. More information about NAEP survey questionnaires is available at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents under the section “What Questions Are on the Test?”
There is no need to study in preparation for NAEP, but please encourage your child to do his or her best. A brochure that explains what participation in NAEP means for you and your child is available at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pdf/parents/2012469.pdf.]]></description>

We called APD to be advised of the situation and it was determined that our campus was not threatened.  However, just to be sure, we notified the teachers of the situation and canceled all outdoor activities until the situation was resolved.]]></description>

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.]]></description>
