Principal’s Message: I am very proud to share a Sonora Elementary success. The Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBAC) is the standardized test given in the State of California to assess student’s knowledge and application of grade level standards in English and mathematics, given in 3 rd through 8 th grade. The State of California publicly released all testing results, gauging our performance by grade level. In addition, it gave us a chance to compare our performance in the County and in the State. In a Tuolumne County comparison of all public schools, Sonora Elementary had the highest percentage of proficient students in mathematics and the second highest proficiency in English Language Arts. On a daily basis, I truly believe all of the adults on our campus do the best they can for the students at our school. I believe we are very fortunate to be able to work with every single student and are proud to have them as Bobcats at Sonora Elementary. I am also very thankful for our parents, in raising wonderful children and providing support in their education. It is nice to have this data, proving our belief that Sonora Elementary is a great place to attend school. Lost Sweatshirts: It is that time of year when a large number of sweaters, sweatshirts, and jackets are removed and left on campus. Our Lost & Found bucket gets very full and, if unclaimed, donated to charitable organizations. In an attempt to get these items back to the rightful owners, we have been hanging up these items on the fence near the multi-purpose room on Fridays. We also recommend writing your student’s name on their jacket or lunch box. We have office assistants that check the apparel for a name, in attempts to get the item back to the student. Parent Portal: For parents in 6 th -8 th grade, did you know you can access your student’s grades online? On Parent Portal, you can access each teacher’s gradebook for your student, itemizing their performance on all assignments and assessments. This is a great tool to track and stay on top of your student’s grades. You can sign up online at https://www.ses.k12.ca.us/domain/120. Student of the Month, October: We are pleased to announce our October Student of the Month as Gracie Bearden. Gracie is the daughter of Mike and Jackie Bearden and has been a student here at Sonora Elementary since kindergarten, maintaining a 4.0 GPA. In the past few years she has represented Sonora El in basketball, volleyball, track and cross country. She shared her favorite thing about living in our area is having the chance to go snowboarding and loves the tight community. Her teachers describe her as helpful, kind, having a strong work ethic, reliable, and an overall outstanding student. Student of the Month, November: Our November Student of the Month is Luke Wheeler. Luke is the son of David and Denise Wheeler. This is Luke’s first year at SES and he has made an immediate impact. His teachers share that he is responsible, honest, is a role model to his classmates, a natural leader, friendly, and a positive addition to our school. Living in Sonora, he values the outdoor scenery, Pinecrest Lake, and the athletic community. He has represented SES in Cross Country and plans to do Track. Luke feels the secret to success is to be kind, disciplined, and plan ahead. Great job, Luke! Mrs. Chaffee’s second grade class has been very busy with our “Helping Others” projects this year. We collected $103.53 to donate to The American Red Cross last month. We are now decorating a Christmas tree in our classroom with socks, along with the other second grade classes. We plan on giving the socks we collect to children that need them to keep their feet warm this winter.

HourofCodeDuring the week of December 3rd, SES participated in the Hour of Code. This is a national initiative to expose students to computer programming and writing code.

Mrs. Lane's Kindergarten/TK students enjoyed "An Hour of Code". Emma Arthur claps as the students finally coded the caterpillar correctly to reach its mark. Ariel Schneider and Charlotte Impink look on.
