Principal's Corner

January and February Updates!

2010-02-01T11:47:00.000-08:00

February, 2010

Dear Jessie Beck Parents and Families:

It’s February and we have been working diligently toward our school goals. We have implemented several new things this year, to ensure every child’s’ success.

Student of the Month has been another success and I cherish the time I get to spend with these kids once per month!

We have completed 2 Math Benchmark Assessments, 2 Literacy Benchmark Assessments, and the 5th grade State Analytic Writing Test.. Still much more testing ahead, of course…
Our teachers meet in “Professional Learning Communities” weekly and come up with interventions/strategies to best meet the individual needs of your children. Their efforts are to be commended and I truly have not seen such a dedicated staff. Thanks to a grant from the E.L. Cord Foundation, 7 Interactive White Boards were installed in grades 4,5, & 6. Our PFA has been instrumental in their support this year, and have helped us accomplish our many goals.
We will, once again, have a 5th/6th grade Intramural Soccer Team! Please watch for a letter from a JB parent, Barry Wardell, who graciously volunteered to coach the team again this year!
Thank you for continuing to have your children here every day, and on time. We are progressing toward our goals, but there is never enough time to meet our instructional time schedule…so your adherence to the attendance policy is greatly appreciated.

Drop off/Pick up times continue to be a problem in the mornings and afternoons at Jessie Beck. Due to traffic congestion and the snow…a reminder to enter through the South side of the parking lot (marked “Enter”) and go down the 1st side of the parking lot...the lot next to the fence is for buses only. Kids cannot walk through the parking lot and need to be on the sidewalks at all times. Thank you for helping keep our kids safe by not parking in the crosswalk area or red zones and your courtesy and respect toward our Crossing Guards is greatly appreciated.

Let’s have a safe, warm remainder of the season and a wonderful month full of friendship, caring, kindness, love, and of course…learning! Also, please see "become a fan" of our new Jessie Beck Facebook Page to keep up on updates weekly !

Sincerely,

Krissy Brown, Principal

Happy December Everyone!
It looks like it’s going to be a very productive month ahead! Our new playground is scheduled to be installed; we are getting new school locks on all doors; 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students will be getting SmartBoards installed in their classrooms; and we continue to strive to make the most out of the 6 hours we have with your children each day!
Please encourage your students to continue reading at home each night as well as going on StudyIsland.com. It’s a great way to reinforce the standards your child is working on daily.
Meeting the Standards!

1. What are standards?
Each child should know how to do specific things by the end of each grade.
**Example: A third grader should know how to read and repeat back the meaning of the story by the end of the school year.

2. Where do I find the standards for my child’s grade?
Ask your child’s teacher or ask in the office or look under the parents section/curriculum on the district’s web site—www.washoe.k12.nv.us

3. What if my child doesn’t know the standards?
Talk to your child’s teacher about:
Where you can get extra help or tutoring
How you can help them at home

Some ways to help your child do better on Standardized Tests:
** Talk with them about school and what they’ve learned daily
** Read and write with them and discuss what’s been read
**Help them to connect their learning to real world activities and interests
** Remember that a single test is only one indicator of your child’s achievement

Some research-based parenting tips to increase success rates for ages 5-13:
· Building Resilience: helping children overcome problems. Resilience is the power to recover strength and spirit after disappointments and stress.
· Provide a positive, supporting up-bringing
· Let the children know that your love will remain strong, no-matter what happens
· Respond to them with words, hugs, and kisses. Loving them doesn’t mean buying them treats.
· Young children need dependability in their lives. Make routines at home and regular sleep and meal times.
· Use a positive statement: “Please use your inside voice.”
· Look for other family members, friends, or neighbors to spend time with your children.
· Reach out to professionals to help you with problems: teachers, counselors, coaches, church leaders etc..

Principal's Updates November 2009

2009-10-23T09:52:00.000-07:00

Happy November!! It’s been a busy couple of months and because of you, we have accomplished many goals already! Our PFA meetings have been great and full of information, goodies, guest speakers, and more! Please come join our monthly meetings and get all of our school happenings first hand!!
A special thank you to our Scarecrow Committee, whose time and efforts were absolutely incredible. The day was perfect and I’ve never seen so many smiling children!
Another BIG thank you to Paula Murphy and our entire Playground Committee for organizing, getting estimates, and moving forward with the new installation of our Playground Equipment.
Kathleen Moore and Erin Smith also wrote a grant and we are excited to announce that Grades 4-6 will be getting ActivBoards (SmartBoards) installed in the next couple of months with the help of the generous EL Cord Foundation paying for 5 and PFA paying for 2 of the boards.
We truly appreciate the continuation of having your children here every day, and on time. This really makes a difference in your child’s education and we value your support. A reminder when the students are tardy, they attend a “missed instruction” session during last recess. This is not “detention” or a punishment, but a make-up session for missed instructional time. We only have your students for a short amount of time and every instructional minute is precious to us.
We have started our “Student of the Month” lunch recognition program, which includes one-two students from each class chosen using various classroom criteria. The students will have a Port of Subs lunch with me on the last Friday of each month (typically) in the library. The lunch is for students only and is a time I truly look forward to spending with them! Your child will show you all of the “Student of the Month” goodies they receive if they are selected. A big “THANK YOU” to the Port of Subs in Shopper’s Square for their donation of sandwiches each month!
The State of Nevada, 5th grade writing test is coming up in January!! A great website for practicing/preparation at home is http://writingfix.com/Nevada_Writing_Exam.htm .
As many have noticed, we have some extra security measures in place at Jessie Beck. Doors to classrooms will remain locked during the school day. If you are planning to volunteer or pick up your student, please be sure to sign in the office first and wear your volunteer badge at all times while on campus. I have included a copy of our “Jessie Beck Codes” in the newsletter this month, which include the drills we have with the students approximately once per month. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these security measures.

Please take advantage of Secret Witness 329.6666 to report any suspicious activity after school hours or weekends. Students and families are critical to collecting information. It is through your assistance that we can prevent crimes on our school grounds. Thank you!

Krissy Brown, Principal

Flu Shots Available at Jessie Beck!!

2009-09-25T09:24:00.000-07:00

Flu Shots are available at Jessie Beck on October 27th, 2009. Please sign up for a time slot by October 16th at the following website:

https://secure.flubusters.com

H1N1 Update

2009-09-25T09:23:00.000-07:00

Dear Parents and Staff of Jessie Beck,

As you may know, flu can be spread easily from person to person. Therefore, we are taking steps to prevent the spread of flu at Jessie Beck for as long as possible, but, we need your help to accomplish this.

We are working closely with the county and state health departments to monitor flu conditions and make decisions about the best steps to take concerning our institution. We will keep you updated with new information as it becomes available to us.
For now, we are doing everything we can to keep our school operating as usual. Here are a few things you can do to help:

1. Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand cleaners also are effective.

2. Practice respiratory etiquette by covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow, sleeve or shoulder, not into your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth; germs are spread this way.

3. Know the signs and symptoms of the flu. A fever is a temperature taken with a thermometer that is equal to or greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius. Look for possible signs of fever: if the person feels very warm, has a flushed appearance, or is sweating or shivering.

4. Stay home if you have flu or flu-like illness for at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius) or signs of a fever (have chills, feel very warm, have a flushed appearance, or are sweating). This should be determined without the use of fever-reducing medications (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen). Don’t go to class or work.

5. Talk with your health care providers about whether you should be vaccinated for seasonal flu. Also if you are at higher risk for flu complications from 2009 H1N1 flu, you should consider getting the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available. People at higher risk for 2009 H1N1 flu complications include pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, heart disease, or diabetes). For more information about priority groups for vaccination, visit www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/acip.htm.

For the most up-to-date information on flu, visit www.flu.gov, or call 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636).

October News at Beck!

2009-09-25T09:21:00.000-07:00

Just a reminder, the instructional time we have with your children is very important and we have a very strict attendance policy, again this year. Please make every effort to have your children here on time every day. If your child happens to be tardy, and it isn’t due to a medical appointment, he/she will be required to attend our “Missed Instruction Session” during last recess (2:00-2:15) the day of the tardy.

Thank you so much for your flexibility in our classroom re-arrangements. This is a difficult situation, which many schools were in this year due to enrollment numbers overall in WCSD. The transition will be a smooth one, and again, I owe that to all of you for your continuous open communication and involvement in our school.

We REALLY want to encourage your attendance at the Run For Education this year, on Sunday, October 18th. Our school makes money for every child who registers AND shows up the day of the race—which we use to pay for all PE activities as well as our Soccer Team! We have made a commitment to sponsor the first 20 students who register and return their forms! More information will come home! A free Jessie Beck t-shirt will be given to everyone who participates!

A recent study by Tom Loveless, an education expert in Washington, DC, revealed how important your help at home is, in the education of our children. We cannot do it alone. Some main points of this study include:

1. Accept Homework—it is essential for the success of your child. The average time spent on homework is approximately 10 minutes per day per grade level (ex. 30 minutes for 3rd graders, 60 for 6th graders).

2. School performance falls as time spent with friends increases. Parents need to convey high expectations at home and make school/homework a priority.

3. Cut back on sports if they interfere with school work. Again, make school priority number 1 !

4. Limit Television at home.

5. Be involved in your child’s education.

2009 Updates!

2009-02-24T09:03:00.000-08:00

Thank you to all who participated/donated to our Cookie Dough Fundraiser! We met our goal and are getting a new alarm system put in at Jessie Beck! We also are having soccer goals built for our soccer field which should be completed within 2 weeks! Thank you to Lanny Hershenow, for coordinating, counting money, and being such a special part of Jessie Beck!!

We also have purchased an online product called "Study Island" designed to help your child master the standards specific to his or her grade level! The website is www.studyisland.com and you teacher (grades 4-6 only) has your child's user name and password! Please use this tool anywhere Internet access is available to help your child master the state standards!!

Speaking of the State Standards...Our State Criterion Referenced Tests are quickly approaching (3/2-3/6). It is very important your child be here during that week...The tests are mandated by the State of Nevada for grades 3-6. The CRT's test the standards for your child's grade level; so these tests are used by our school to determine instructional focus. A scale score of 300 is required to "pass" the CRT. If your child scores below a 300 on the CRT, he/she will be given extra interventions next school year to be sure the standards are mastered. Our focus is EARLY INTERVENTION and your child's achievement is our ultimate goal.

Thank you for having your child to school on time, fed a healthy breakfast, and well-rested during CRT week. He/She needs to be at optimal performance level this week to ensure success.

A special "Thank You" to Barry Wardell, a JB Parent and our Soccer Coach this year! Please come support our Jessie Beck Soccer Team on Fridays. I will post a schedule as soon as we receive it! :-)

Your continued support is appreciated and I'm truly thankful for such wonderful parents, students, staff, and community!!!

Spanish Immersion Class!

2008-09-15T13:00:00.000-07:00

As many know, we have a new program here at Jessie Beck this year!
I've had several questions about the program so I thought it would be best to start posting the questions and answers to help clarify:

1. Why was Jessie Beck chosen to house this program?
**Jessie Beck was selected by the ESL Department due to it's central location and diverse population.

2. Will the entire school be bilingual? **No, this program will have 1 bilingual teacher in each grade at the end of 7 years. The students/parents have the "choice" of being considered to be in the class.

3. What is the Immersion Class? ** This year, we started with Kindergarten and the class consists of 12 English speaking kids, and 12 Spanish speaking kids who are ALL ZONED for Jessie Beck. All subjects are taught in 2 languages. By grade 5, these 24 students are expected to be fully bilingual and biliterate in both English and Spanish.

4. Did the Immersion Program kick out the Music Teacher? **No, the staff decided the music room would better serve our JB students as a classroom so we would be able to have more stand alone classrooms, with less students, for a couple of years. The music room conversion had NOTHING to do with the Immersion classroom.

5. Are we crowded because of all the variances for the Immersion class? **No, all of the students in the Immersion classroom are zoned for Jessie Beck so it has no effect on our enrollment numbers. We have a very small amount (under 5) of variances in the lower grades.

6. How can we enroll our kids in the program? **In May, we will be taking an interest list for the upcoming school year. Zoned families will have first priority as well as parental committment to the program. Students and parents go through an interview process and the teacher and principal determine best fit for the classroom.
