Shout Out

Shout out to Jenn Clark on the birth of her baby boy, Everett Adam Clark! Everett was born on March 16th and weighed 8lbs 8oz. Jenn and Everett are both doing well! Congrats!

Shout out to Hadley Keohane for being a leader in her classroom, following student Behavior Support Plans, consulting with colleagues and seeking feedback to improve her practice.  Your colleagues in Room 110 and Strand supervisors appreciate you!

Shout out Bianca Guerrero, Pat Freeman, and Alberto Guerrero for following the How To Offer Help Protocol this afternoon.  The educators saw that a student was engaging in challenging behavior but kept their distance and subtly offered help to the staff working with the student without providing additional attention to the situation.  Additional shout out to Corey Edmiston for assisting in clearing the hallway for a student transitioning.  He was able to neutrally redirect others to clear a path, keeping others safe, but without providing unnecessary attention.  Way to be a team!

Shout out to Meg Nason, Jenni Craman, Helenia Solomini and Laura Shea for coming to school on a day off to interview candidates for our open K2 position. Early childhood teaching matters and sets the foundation for the rest of a student's life. Thanks!

Shout out to Genet Mehari, Cara Hins and Sue Trotz for coming to school on a day off to interview candidates for our open Guidance position. The social emotional needs of our community are important and we appreciate your support. Thanks!

Red Jacket Weekend 2016

Each year in September, City Year corps members and staff kick off their year of service with a large scale service day benefiting a school in our communities. We are very excited to announce that next year, the Curley K-8 will be the host and beneficiary of this event. On a Saturday in September, around 750 volunteers from the City Year community will be coming out to the Curley and the surrounding community for a day of volunteering that will be organized by a specialized team from City Year. Projects for this type of event can include painting, murals, organization, landscaping, light construction and the creation of resources for students and teachers.   Your input and feedback is essential for us to best align our projects with the needs of the school and we greatly appreciate you for taking the time to answer the questions using this link. Should you have any questions or want any additional information, please don't hesitate to reach out to Maria Ploessl at mploessl@cityyear.org. 

PARCC

Here is the PARCC Draft Schedule for May. Please take time to review this and send all ideas, questions and concerns to David Diaz on how to best improve this schedule. It is important that we solidify these dates on the calendar. We will need "All Hands On Deck" during this testing window. 

Curley Silent Auction

The Curley School Parent Council (SPC) will be hosting their Annual Silent Auction at Canary Square on Tuesday, March 29th and would like to extend an invite to all staff and their friends and family. If you are interested in donating a prize to the auction please contact Molly Brigham by February 22nd at mollykbrigham@gmail.com. In the past some staff have donated an afternoon with their teacher to get an ice cream at JP Licks, Principal for the Day, lunch with your teacher, etc... The SPC is open to any of your ideas and really appreciates your time (and the students love the prizes). The money raised from the Silent Auction goes to directly supporting our school such as CMCB, BalletROX, Arts supplies, science supplies, staff luncheon, Chromebooks etc...
