Principal's Message

At the end of the day be ready to say

I'm proud of what I did today!

Principal's Welcome

 

 

 Dear Parents and Students,

 

On behalf of the entire Montague Elementary Staff, I would like to welcome you to the 2011-2012 school year.   The campus has been bustling as usual this summer with improvement projects to ensure that our school is safe, immaculately clean, and welcoming for our students on the first day of school Monday, August 15, 2011 at 8:30 AM.

Every year brings some change and this year is no exception.  The Montague Community is excited to welcome new students that attended Don Callejon School last year.  Due to overcrowding the school board changed the attendance boundaries for several developments in the Rivermark community.  We are thrilled for them to join our amazing school and have been waiting patiently for their arrival.

 

Sincerely,

Eric Lewis, Principal

Transitional Kindergarten

The California Legislature passed the “Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010” (Senate Bill 1381), which amended the California Education Code to change the birthdate defining admission to Kindergarten. Children who are five years old before the following dates will be admitted to Kindergarten:

  • For the 2012–13 school year, the date is November 1
  • For the 2013–14 school year, the date is October 1
  • For the 2014–15 school year and each school year thereafter, the date is September 1.

To accommodate children who are not yet eligible for Kindergarten admission by these dates, but turn five before December 2, the District is hoping to implement a Transitional Kindergarten program. A Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program that uses a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate.

A child will be eligible for Transitional Kindergarten if he or she will have a fifth birthday between:

  • For the 2012–13 school year, November 2 and December 2
  • For the 2013–14 school year, October 2 and December 2
  • For the 2014–15 school year and each school year thereafter September 2 and December 2.

Please see the flyer linked below for more information regarding Transitional Kindergarten, including an important note about the uncertainty of funding for this program.

Five Furlough Days Scheduled for SCUSD in Early 2012

Five Furlough Days Scheduled for SCUSD in Early 2012

Due to tremendous budget cuts over the last several years, Santa Clara Unified School District is joining many districts across the state in implementing furlough days for students and staff. Furlough days for early 2012 are January 2, March 12, March 26, March 27 and May 21. More information regarding these days will be posted on the Santa Clara Unified School District website, www.santaclarausd.org. Parents are encouraged to plan ahead for activities for their students on these days. There may be a few exceptions for programs that run on a contractual basis, so please check with your school contact for exact program offerings on those days. The reduction of staff salaries by five days results in approximately $2.3 Million dollars that will go toward the budget deficit for the 2011-2012 school year.

Cinco días sin trabajo y sin paga para el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Santa Clara a principios del 2012

Debido a los grandísimos recortes de presupuesto en los últimos años, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Santa Clara se está uniendo a otros distritos a través del estado al implementar días sin trabajo y sin paga para los estudiantes y el personal escolar. Los días sin trabajo y sin paga para principios del 2012 son: el 2 de enero, 12 de marzo, 26 de marzo, 27 de marzo y 21 de mayo. En el sitio web del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Santa Clara, www.santaclarausd.org tendremos más información disponible. Se recomienda a los padres de familia que planeen de antemano actividades que sus hijos puedan hacer en esas fechas. Puede que hayan algunas excepciones para los programas que tengan bases contractuales, así que por favor póngase en comunicación con su escuela para saber exactamente cuáles son los programas que ofrecerán durante esos días. La reducción del salario de los empleados por cinco días, resulta en aproximadamente $2.3 millones de dólares que irán al déficit presupuestario del año escolar 2011-2012.
