WHAT: 5th into 6th Orientation meeting for PARENTS

WHEN: Wednesday, May 16, 2012

WHERE: San Gorgonio Middle School Multi-Purpose Room

Please park in the large lot off of Cougar Way.  The MPR is on the south side of campus.

More than 100 elementary school students gathered together for a track meet on Friday, May 4th at San Gorgonio Middle School.  Students from Kindergarten through 5th grade competed in eight events: long jump, softball throw (shot put), 1 mile, 100 meter, 200 meter, 400 meter, 800 meter and 4x100 meter relay.  Their performances were AMAZING!  Everyone received a Participation ribbon and winners in each category received First, Second, and Third place ribbons.  The Sundance Mileage Club sponsored the track meet and hopes to make it an annual event.

The U.S. Department of Education named Sundance Elementary one of 305 schools as 2011 National Blue Ribbon Schools based on our overall academic excellence and for our success in closing achievement gaps.  The Department honored the entire 256 public and 49 private schools with their National Blue Ribbon School awards at a conference and awards ceremony November 14-15, in Washington, D.C.  Mrs. Kinney and Mrs. Tracy Waters attended the ceremony to receive the award personally. 

"I am so proud of everyone," said Mrs. Kinney.  "We all worked hard together to earn this award -- faculty, staff, students, and parents.  You are all AWESOME!"

871

WE DID IT AGAIN! For the 8th year in a row, our API score has increased! It is now 871!

We have had a 151 point increase since 2004. This API score in connection with the fact that we also reached all of our significant subgroup goals, qualified us for our 5th consecutive Title 1 Academic Achievement award, the 2011 National Blue Ribbon schools award and a 2012 CA Distinguished Schools nomination! GOOD TEAMWORK, EVERYBODY! What will we do next? Stay tuned!

For the sixth year in a row, Sundance Elementary has received a Title I Academic Achievement Award!  This recognition was earned through the hard work of faculty, staff, students, and their families!  Congratulations to us!

For more information about the award, check out an article in the Record Gazette .

Parent Involvement Survey

Since November 1988, state law has required all public schools receiving state funding to prepare and distribute a SARC. A similar requirement is also contained in the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The purpose of the report card is to provide parents and the community with important information about each public school. For additional information regarding the SARC, click here.
