PDMSS CARING COMMUNITY NEWS
Together we make a difference
Dear Family and Friends of PDMSS,
Our school wide Spelling Bee
was impressive! Congratulations to
Sammy, the winner of this year’s,
and last year’s, Spelling Bee.
Sammy now moves on to the next
level and represents PDMSS at the
Los Angeles County Scripp’s Spelling
Bee. Certificates for all of the
participates will be given out during
the Morning Assembly on Monday. Congratulations to all the students who participated in our Bee on
Friday and good luck Sammy!
Thank you to those parents who have already donated to the Vision for Student Success (VSS)!
Remember that the VSS is the new funding model the district is implementing in the 2014-2015 school
year. A special edition of the Caring Community News was sent out earlier this month giving an overview
of the changes and has been included in this newsletter. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have
about the changes.
There is just one week left to reach the VSS’ fundraising goal so please take a moment to read
about VSS, click on the link, and make a donation. Your donation supports all of the students in our
district, including PDMSS!
How many of you remember your first day on the PDMSS campus? How many of you attended a
Kindergarten Round Up to find out about our wonderful school? This year’s Kindergarten Round Up is
taking place on February 20th. Please let any and all prospective parents know about this great event and
that we look forward to meeting them! A flyer is included in this newsletter and is also available in the
school office.

The City of Malibu has changed the way they would like to
communicate upcoming events to the public. In the past they have sent
out news releases that were passed along to you in the newsletter. With
the new system you will receive the press releases via your email. You are
able to customize which types of notifications you receive. Go to the City
of Malibu website, click on e-notifications, and begin receiving information
about events that interest you.
For the past two weeks I’ve included reminders about the
importance of getting to school on time in the newsletter. This week
there’s a flyer that lists several reasons why establishing the habit of
arriving to school on time is valuable. Please take a look and remember
that simply beginning your morning routine five minutes earlier can make a
big difference!
I look forward to seeing you at the morning assembly and
remember my door is always open!
With warm regards,
Rebecca Johnson
Principal
Spelling Bee!

Dear Family and Friends of PDMSS,
In the 2014-2015 school year our district is transitioning to a new fund raising model called Vision for Student Success or VSS. During this school year I am asking you to contribute to PDMSS and to the VSS fund. Below are the ways you can support programs at PDMSS for this school year, help us prepare for funding our programs in the 2014-2015 school year, and ways to give during the 2014-2015 school year.
The ways you can give in the 2013-2014 school year:
1. Donate to PDMSS Direct Investment. We have $167,00 left to raise to continue:
• Science Lab and Teacher

• Reading Teachers
• Technology
2. Donate to the Vision for Student Success by giving $365 or a dollar a day to the Education Foundation and fund our programs for the 2014-15 school year. Donating is easy. Just click on this link: www.smmef.org/donate.
3. Attend Cirque du Soleil’s Totem on January 24th! Your purchase includes tickets, a dinner, and 100% of the proceeds will go to SMMEF.
Of course both funds would be happy to accept any donation (large or small!) that you can contribute!
The ways you can give next year in the 2014-2015 school year:
1. Donate to PDMSS Direct Investment to fund:
• Field trips
