“Every child one voice”

6th Grade Parents – Math Placement Information for Middle School IUSD is implementing changes to the middle school math courses to go along with the adoption of the new Common Core Math Standards. To assist parents in understanding the new placement criteria, Mark Sontag, Coordinator of Math and Science for IUSD, will be presenting middle school math placement information to parents at each middle school over the next several weeks. Parents only, no children, including no 6th graders. See the attached flyer for meeting dates and times. 7th Grade Immunization Requirement It’s not too early to start planning for next year’s 7th graders! All students entering, advancing or transferring into 7th grade need proof of a whooping cough booster immunization called “Tdap”. Many students have already received the vaccine and simply need to supply proof to the school health office. This can be done by: bringing in the original Yellow Immunization Card from the doctor (or provide the school with a copy); the immunization record can be scanned and e-mailed to the health office @ gailwylly@iusd.org or it can be sent via FAX to (949) 936-6259. If you provide a copy/e-mail or FAX, make sure the student’s name is visible. Your child will need proof of this immunization in order to start 7th grade in September. As of now, there is no grace period or extension. Under current law, schools do not have the option to provide a grace period. Questions: Call the health office @ (949) 936-6261 or follow the links: www.iusd.org-health services-TDAP Immunization Requirement. No Street Parking on Rainbow Falls - Courtesy Reminder Please remember that Rainbow Falls and Crystal Pool are private streets and should not be used as drop off or pick areas. Homeowners are blocked from exiting the street, creating unsafe conditions for children and drivers. Narrow streets are not safe for this.

Also, to avoid getting stuck in the school parking lot, parents are encouraged to drop their student off on Turtle Rock Drive so they can be assisted by the crossing guard if needed. Thank you!

*IMPORTANT REPORT CARD INFORMATION Report cards are available on the Parent Portal for all who have completed the “Electronic First Day Packet”. The link to access the Electronic Packet is available on the front page of the TR website. Access to report cards on the Parent Portal is blocked until the packet has been completed. Teachers and staff will not be able to provide printed copies for those denied access. If you have questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact Anne Trefz (annetrefz@iusd.org).

Kindergarten is Coming! Cut-off Date Change

In 2010, California Legislation passed a bill changing the cut-off date for Kindergarten entry from December 2nd to September 1st. This change is occurring in a three year phase in process beginning November, 2012. The cutoff date in CA now aligns with the majority of the states in the country. Also included in this CA bill is the mandate for districts to offer a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program for students who are affected by the change. The TK grade level will be available to IUSD students who will turn 5 between September 2 and December 2.

Registration

The enrollment process for K or TK students begins in March. You must complete the online enrollment process and take the paperwork with the required residency verification documents to your neighborhood school. Your child’s registration is not complete until you take paperwork to the elementary school office.

PLEASE NOTE: If your child attends ECLC, DO NOT complete on line enrollment again as you have already done so. Please consult the IUSD website under Enrollment for additional information or to determine your child’s neighborhood school.

To determine which grade level your child will enter for the 2014-2015 school year, please use this chart.

K/TK Philosophy

In IUSD we believe the goal of kindergarten & TK is to promote a joy of learning in a positive and nurturing environment, which creates critical thinkers, effective oral communicators, and lifelong learners. In partnership with parents, we will provide intentional opportunities that meet the emotional, social, physical, and academic needs of all learners.

Please refer to the IUSD website under Education Services/Curricular Programs for specific program details on K and TK.

If you are unable to complete, or are uncomfortable with, the online registration process, please contact your ACE coordinator. Refunds: Tuition is nonrefundable unless the class is cancelled by the ACE coordinator. If your child registers late, misses classes or withdraws before the end of the session, you are still obligated for the full fees for that session. You are eligible for a prorated tuition refund or credit only if your child withdraws due to serious illness or injury, corroborated by a note from your doctor. All refunds are subject to a $25 non-refundable program fee. Please be advised that refunds may take up to one month to process. If you wish to apply for a refund, please contact your school site coordinator.

Flex Accounts: Receipts for dependent care documentation are available on request. Please Contact IPSF with parent name, child’s name, address, phone number and location of ACE class attended. (949) 263-8340. Class Age Limits: In order to develop classes suitable for a particular age range, we specify age limits in the brochure.

Class Confirmations: Class Confirmations will be confirmed as the online registration is completed for each individual student. Class Cancellations: We do our best to accommodate all students who sign up for ACE classes.

You will be notified of any cancellations before the first scheduled day of class. Transportation: Getting students to and from class is the responsibility of parents. In the first week of classes, ACE site monitors will attempt to locate registered students who are not present in their class. After that week, however, we expect that the students will know where they should go. If your child has difficulty remembering to go to class, you might want to escort him/her or contact another child in the class so your child has a “buddy” to provide a reminder about class. ACE students must be picked up immediately after class. Arranging pick-up is the responsibility of parents.

COMMON CORE MATH COURSES ON THE HORIZON!

ALL IUSD MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO IMPLEMENT NEW MATH COURSES FOR THE 2014/2015 SCHOOL YEAR!

With the adoption of the new Common Core Math Standards, IUSD will be implementing changes to the current middle school math course offerings. Placement into these courses will be determined by new math placement criteria and may change the math pathways into high school.

To provide clarity and consistency with these changes, Mr. Mark Sontag, Coordinator of Math and Science for IUSD, will be presenting the new IUSD Middle School Math Courses and Math Pathways to parents/guardians of current 6th and 7th grade students. A Parent Information Meeting is being scheduled at each middle school in the IUSD. We welcome and encourage you to attend the meeting scheduled at the middle school your child will be attending in the 2014/2015 school year; however, as this is a district- wide shift, and the same courses and placement criteria will be implemented at each school site, you are welcome to attend any one of the meeting listed below if the date and time are more convenient for you.

To assure enough seats for parents/guardians at each meeting, we ask that students do not attend the meetings.

Parent Information Meeting Dates and Locations Jeffrey Trail - Wednesday, January 22 (7:00 PM) Sierra Vista - Monday, January 27 (7:00 PM) Plaza Vista - Wednesday, February 12 (6:00 PM) Venado - Thursday, February 13 (6:30 PM) Lakeside – Thursday, February 27 (7:00 PM) Vista Verde - Tuesday, March 4 (6:00 PM) South Lake - Thursday, March 6 (7:00 PM) Rancho – Tuesday, March 11 (6:00 PM)

BSA TROOP 695 - TURTLE ROCK, IRVINE

The young men (aged 11-18) of BSA Troop 695 have been serving our community for over 15 years, and our Troop’s founding principles remain unchanged—To create and build an exciting, challenging, and fun outdoor leadership program that will both attract and retain Scouts. These outdoor activities are the cornerstone of Troop 695. Leadership, advancement, & service to others are all forged from our high-adventure foundation.

Troop 695 embraces the core values of the world-wide Scouting movement: We offer young men responsible fun and adventure, while instilling lifelong values & development of ethical character as expressed in the Boy Scouts of America Scout Oath and Law. We train our Scouts in citizenship, service, and leadership while serving Orange County’s communities and families with a quality, value-based program. These goals are accomplished primarily through a very safe, but challenging outdoor program that focuses on high-adventure...learning skills for life and having fun!

We believe a “boy-led”, patrol-based program is the best way to practice & instill self-reliance, cooperation, organization, confidence & leadership essentials such as public speaking. Under the supervision & guidance of our adult leaders, the older more experienced Scouts form the leadership core of our Troop, plan & run each Troop meeting, and provide hands-on training and development of our younger scouts—Leadership by Example.
