SCESD - February District Newsletter 2017

ISSUE 8 | FEBRUARY DISTRICT NEWSLETTER 1

SUPERINTENDENT MESSAGE

Welcome to 2017. While this marks the beginning of a new year, it brings to mind the
realization that we are half way through our school year. As a teacher I absolutely loved
the winter months as children seem to have matured enough to access grade level content
while at same time I felt the urgency to accelerate my pacing and strategies in order to
help them reach grade level proficiency. This newsletter features one of SCESD exempla-
ry teachers whose efforts have proven results in moving his student towards grade level
standards.

In our next three newsletters, we will be featuring those outstanding employees whose con-
tributions to our students, schools and district earned them the SCESD Employee Awards.
Each story is a tribute to their commitment as life long learners in their respective profes-
sions. We are proud to feature Roberto Zamora (Champion in Education), Ron Dillender
(Lead Learner) and Roxanne Lepper (Customer Service) in this month’s newsletter.

Our team of dedicated educators continues to
make progress with developing “Problem-Solu-

together following a problem-solution based
model based on the California Standards. The
units are designed to be relevant, engaging, chal-
lenging, and fun for both students and teachers.
A major goal of these units is to organize curric-
ulum that suits our goals and the learning needs
of our students.
The first unit is ready to go! Look for it to arrive

Maintenance, Operations,

Transportation, Safety, & Food Service

BY TERRY RYAN

The district’s maintenance, operations, transportation and food service
departments are focused on supporting the district’s instructional
platforms—each department, classroom, and student!

HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR CURRENT ACTIVITIES ARE:
SAFETY: # ONE: Our collective number 1 focus is to ensure the safety of our 9,000+ students, 800+ staff and innu-
merable visitors. Perimeter security (Please keep the gates closed and remember, SECURITY IS INCONVENIENT) cameras,
campus check-in procedures, fire and earthquake drills and School Site Safety Plans require everyone’s attention. Our
safety meetings are scheduled-so Safety Committee members should check their e-mail!!

SAFETY: # TWO: School Site staff work on completing the Comprehensive School Site Safety Plans was outstand-
ing. Remember now the responsibility is to “drill, baby, drill” so that everyone, including after school/Saturday school is
aware of our well planned emergency response protocols.

FOOD SERVICE: Carlos Murta and his crew of outstanding Food Service Workers are offering the best school lunches,
within budgetary constraints, for our students and staff. Please remember, treat each precious student with the same
respect with which we treat our own children.

MAINTENANCE: The Maintenance Teams are working efficiently to keep our buildings and grounds in the best repair
possible. The Maintenance staff appreciates the school sites use of the SCHOOL DUDE software because this product
assists everyone in scheduling and completing work. Our next SchoolDude program rollout is Use of Facilities – we are
focused on moving this to our internet to reduce the vast amount of time and effort all of the players must invest in
running around and chasing paper! The new model is intended to work more efficiently by using our technology. Aide
Clemente has been the lead person in our department in getting this SchoolDude application up and running! Terry will
roll this out to site admins and school secretaries at the next meeting opportunity. Stay tuned for updates!

OPERATIONS: A big shout out to our professional custodial staff – they work hard to clean up during the day, keep
the vegetation around the buildings under control and ensure your night crew accomplishes the important work of
cleaning classrooms and restrooms and our security camera lens. They have also been advised of their roll in keeping
our campuses secure by removing any element that is holding our perimeter security gates open.

TRANSPORTATION: SCESD’s 28 bus drivers, are doing the critical work of safely delivering about 800 students to
school and back home everyday – and then they do all of the field trips in between—please make sure all of the field
trip requests are filed in a timely manner!!

NOTICE:

"Your Business Department attended the Governor's Budget Workshop on January 17 to learn about the budget that Governor Brown released on January 10. In a snapshot,
monthly revenues have been consistently lower than projected. This will cause our current year revenue to be slightly reduced and also projects that revenue for the next year
will be about $2 million below their earlier projection. As this happens CALPERS and CALSTRS rates paid by the district will continue to rise."
