Important - Please put your child’s name on jackets, sweaters, lunch boxes and other personal possessions that will make it easy to find them and return them to you. Items that are not needed for school, especially valuable ones, should be left at home.

McKinley School - 2018-19 School Year Student Teacher/Class Placement: Parent Input Form

Dear Parents/Guardians, The McKinley teachers and administration will soon begin working on class placements for next year. We will do this based on our projected enrollment for the 2018-19 school year. Class formation is a complicated and thoughtful process. Every class is balanced in order to provide a nurturing environment where your child can grow academically and emotionally. We would like to give you the opportunity to give us some information about your child that you feel will be helpful in determining his/her placement. Per SMMUSD policy, we will NOT accept requests for a specific teacher, or friends that your child should be with. Meetings regarding your child’s placement will not be permitted. Only the information written on this form will be taken into consideration. You will receive notification regarding your child’s placement via email beginning the week of August 15th. Families without an email on file will receive placement notification via U.S Mail. This form is due to the office in two weeks by May 2nd. Late forms will not be accepted. I understand that by completing this form, I am in no way guaranteed a specific teacher or grouping of students with whom to be placed or not to be placed. I understand that the administration has the final decision in placing my child. I have read and understand all of the above policies. Childs Name:

Child’s Current Grade: Child’s Current Teacher: Child’s Grade Next Year 18-19:

Is there something you would like us to consider when placing your child? Please provide any information you feel is relevant. Is there a student with whom your child should NOT be placed and explain why.(Must be due to numerous serious incidents, not based on reputation or one minor incident). Have you had any other children who have attended McKinley? If yes, write the names of the teachers they had. If you do NOT want your child to have this teacher, explain why. (This is not a guarantee that your child will or won’t have this teacher).

McKinley Art Fundraising

Dear Family and Friend, Last Friday, you should have received your child’s personalized order form and stickers. We hope you are as excited about your child’s artwork as much as they are!!! Together, we can help support our school programs funded by the McKinley PTA, build your child’s self-esteem and create lasting keepsakes from your child’s artistic achievements this school year. Act now to receive *free shipping, which is only available during the fundraiser sale.

3rd-5th Grade Student “Homework” During Testing Dear Parents/Guardians, April 30th- May 23rd (4 weeks) 3rd-5th grade will be taking the state test (CAASPP). Please help your child to have an optimal testing experience by having him/her do the following things during testing:

• Go to Sleep at least 1 hour earlier each day

• Eat a healthy breakfast each morning (bagel and cream cheese, fruit,

non-sugary cereal, milk, burrito, peanut butter sandwich, school breakfast etc.)

• Arrive to school early or on-time

• Wear comfortable clothes in layers in case it is hot or cold in the classroom

• Go outside after school and on the weekend; exercise helps the brain!

• Encourage your child and help them to relax and not be nervous; they are going to do great!

If you have any questions about testing please contact your child’s teacher or Ms. Cedillo. Thanks for your help! Dr. Benjamin, Principal

May 1, 2018 Dear Santa Monica Youth Program Participant: The new Financial Assistance package for participation in CREST’s after school programs,

Community Aquatics swim lessons, Community Classes and school break camps is now available.

A completed application for Financial Assistance is required on an annual basis. We are currently

taking applications for quarterly funds available July 2018 – June 2019. Incomplete applications

will not be accepted. This includes the submission of copies of required documentation verifying

identification, residency and income.

Approved Financial Assistance applications are subject to a $350 cap per child, per calendar

quarter. The cap applies to the discounted portion of the fees for participation in optional

programs of limited duration such as swim lessons, community and after school enrichment

classes, or sports leagues. Financial Assistance is available on a financial year basis with quarters

beginning in July and ending in June (Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec, Jan-Mar and Apr-Jun). Funds are applied

towards the cap based on the date you enroll. Discounts do not carry over from quarter to

quarter.

For example, if you enroll your child in a $100 enrichment class in September that begins in

October and you qualify for Financial Assistance at 75%, your fee will be discounted by $75. This

discount is subtracted from your $350 quarter cap leaving a remainder of $275 in your July –

September quarter which could be used for other classes or mini camps. (This example is

illustrated in chart form below.)

Example – Based on quarterly cap of $350.

Please note that there are no caps or limits for participation in essential programs such as after-

school childcare and full day camps.
