4th Grade Instrument Quest
June 4th, 2019
4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Covington Multi
In preparation for choosing a musical instrument to play in 5th grade, the LASD Music Department will host an instrument selection event called “Instrument Quest” for all 4th grade students in the district. Your child will be able to try out every instrument we offer in our Band and Orchestra (flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola, cello).
This is a great opportunity to see which instrument best suits your child. Parents are welcome to ask questions and to meet the LASD Music teachers.
______________________________
When your child is absent; we appreciate you calling the attendance line OR filling out the online form. These are the preferred methods for documentation purposes. The District Nurses are asking all parents in the district to not call your students in "sick". Please be specific when leaving either message to why your student is not at school. The District Nurses are tracking our extended flu season and are requesting specific symptoms-fever, cold, vomiting, sore throat, rash, etc. Please be very specific with students symptoms. We may need to do a super clean in a classroom or around campus because of illnesses-- so they do not spread. Also, it was a rule to keep a child home for 24 hours without medication or symptoms. The District Nurses have increased the time to 48 hours to keep your student home. We are seeing way too many students coming back too early from their illness.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping Gardner School healthy!

Dear Los Altos School District Community,
As you know, within the last year, the Bullis Charter School (BCS) unilaterally increased its enrollment by nearly 25%, or 220 in-district students. Because Los Altos School District is required by law to provide facilities to in-district charter students, BCS’s unilateral action raises considerable challenges to accommodate its sudden growth for the next school year and beyond.
To try to address those challenges, negotiating teams from LASD and BCS met in multiple confidential mediation sessions to discuss proposals for a long term facilities agreement. Throughout such negotiations LASD made it clear that any proposal the mediation teams negotiated behind closed doors needs to be fully aired in public with the community to determine whether there was community support, and that this public process would need to occur before LASD’s board voted whether to approve any agreement. This mediation process yielded a proposal for a 10-year agreement that the Board is considering. For more information on this proposed agreement, click here.
The Board of Trustees and I firmly believe that your voices and opinions are essential when it comes to an issue of intense community interest such as this. As publicly elected officials committed to making a decision that benefits our community as a whole, we have appreciated each and every one of the many comments, questions and ideas we have received to date.
I learned yesterday evening that the BCS Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve the proposed 10-year agreement. While BCS moved quickly to a vote before the community could be fully heard, LASD’s Board will complete its scheduled public input process that it values tremendously and deems essential before it votes on the proposed agreement.
Click here for dates of remaining school site forums, Board Office Hours and Board meetings. We have scheduled two more Board meetings to receive feedback on the agreement, one which will be held tomorrow evening, Thursday, April 25 at 7pm. The other meeting will take place on Monday, April 29 at 7pm, in which the Board plans to receive feedback and vote on the proposed agreement. Both meetings will be held at the District Office.
As always, you may also email the Board of Trustees at trustees@lasdschools.org with any thoughts, questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jessica Speiser
President, Los Altos School District Board of Trustees

The MVLA Parent Education Speaker Series
Please join us for two screenings of LIKE - an IndieFlix Original Film
Tuesday, April 30, 2019 | 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm | LAHS Eagle Theater |201 Almond Ave., Los Altos, CA
LIKE explores the impact of social media on our lives. Technology is a tool. It’s here to stay and social platforms are a place to connect, share and care, but what’s really happening? Are we addicted? How do we stop? Where do we start? What do we need to know?
By understanding the effects of technology and social media on the brain, on our lives, and on our civilization, we can learn how to navigate it more safely together. The goal of this film is to inspire people of all ages, especially kids, to self regulate their use of technology. It’s about looking in the mirror and empowering ourselves to create balance in our lives and to learn to be there for each other.
Released this past fall, LIKE is a follow-up to Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety, an IndieFlix film about teen anxiety, which was screened in January 2019 in partnership with the MVLA Unified High School District, Los Altos School District, and Mountain View Whisman School District.
Angst shines a spotlight on the alarming rise in teen anxiety and associative mental health issues for the very treatable condition that impacts 54 percent of females and 46 percent of males, with age seven being the median age of onset.
Following each screening, CHAC therapists will be available to share resources and to answer individual and small group questions.
Register for this free event at https://mvla2018-19-like.
Spanish translation will be available. Please indicate on Eventbrite when registering.
Sponsored by Los Altos Educational Foundation (LAEF), MVLA High School Foundation, Mountain View Educational Foundation (MVEF), and Los Altos-Mountain View PTA Council.

Hello Gardner Bullis Scientist!
We had the most creative-messy-inventive-
Campus Regulations
I feel compelled to remind our community that visitors must sign in at the office before coming on to campus. Visitors must have a visitor’s badge on at all times and if they do not, staff will ask them to return to the office. I appreciate your cooperation in advance. I also want to remind parents that our campus is an academic campus until 3:00 pm. That means that parents and caregivers who pick up primary students before 3:00 pm cannot enter the playground area or Grizzly Lane until after 3:00.
Flexible Opportunities for Working in our School: we need you!
Have you ever thought about working in our schools but didn’t know how to get started? We are looking for community members interested in substituting in our schools as classified substitutes. We have opportunities to work as instructional assistants in our kindergarten classrooms and opportunities to work in our school offices. If this sounds interesting to you, please contact Marlene Revelo, HR Specialist,mrevelo@
I do hope to see all of you at our Book Quest event on Tuesday evening when we will celebrate our very own student authors. I personally LOVE this event! Please see below for more details.
