May-June 2014 • Academic Anchor 2Navy Region Southwest School Liaison Newsletter • www navylifesw com/slo

Since many states have different kindergarten entry age requirements, here is an overview of California’s rules. It’s important to note that California has recently made changes to its kindergarten age requirements so you may have heard different information in the past.

The Kindergarten Readiness Act was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2010. This act changed the kindergarten entry date from December 2 to September 1. The law has been phased in over the last two school years with next year being the final year for the phase in. Therefore, all children entering Kindergarten in fall 2014 will be 5 by September 1.

Since this change leaves many young children ineligible to begin kindergarten if they have birthdays between September 2 and December 1, a new program has been implemented just for those children. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is the first year of a 2 year kindergarten program designed to be a bridge between preschool and kindergarten.

The entry date change and the creation of TK address a longstanding need in California. Before the Kindergarten Readiness Act, children in California typically began kindergarten at a younger age than kids in almost any other state. Starting school at an earlier age often meant they entered without the maturity, social skills and early academic skills they need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. At the same time, kindergarten today is far more academic than it once was; similar to what first grade used to be.

According to tkcalifornia.org, the youngest kids in a kindergarten class risk struggling academically, emotionally and/or socially. At their young age, some may have limited

experience interacting with peers and teachers, while others may not yet know how to listen or follow a structured class schedule. TK ensures that children have these pivotal skills, which are foundations to successful learning, when they begin kindergarten.

If you have a child who will begin kindergarten or TK next school year, please identify your neighborhood school by contacting your School Liaison. A few things you will need to complete registration are birth certificate, current immunization record, proof of address (housing agreement, utility bills), and a kindergarten dental and health screening (schools have the necessary forms). Some schools will accept your registration with the birth certificate and proof of address, but will require the immunization record and dental/health shortly thereafter.

Although all school districts will offer TK to eligible children, not all school sites will offer it. If your neighborhood school doesn’t offer it, another school in the district will. It’s best to check with your school district to find out which schools offer it. This is a new program and the number of children enrolled may require the districts to make changes to which schools offer it.

It’s important to know that TK is not a required program. In CA, students are not required to be enrolled in school until they are 6. However, TK and kindergarten are great building blocks for a student’s future success. If your student is eligible for TK, it will serve your family well to look into it at your neighborhood school district.

Common CoRe State StanDaRDS

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are a significant change for the coming school year. Common Core State Stan-dards have been embraced by forty-five states, the District of Columbia, four ter-ritories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools. Common Core has standardized the curriculum in language arts and math with the goal of expanding standard-ization of the curriculum to eventually include science and history. These new curriculum standards state what a child should know and be able to do at each grade level and assure that the tests used to determine student progress are the same in the States that have chosen to participate. California has agreed to set aside its individual state standards and embrace Common Core. This is great news for military families.

For more information on Common Core State Standards parents can visit http://www corestandards org/ <http://www corestandards org/>

the inteRState CompaCt

The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children will continue to positively impact our mili-tary students in California. The mobile military lifestyle presents both oppor-tunities and challenges for children of military families.

The Interstate Compact, which was signed in California in 2009, re-places the widely varying treatment of transitioning military children with a comprehensive uniform approach in every state that chooses to participate. At present only four States have elected not to participate in the Compact: Oregon, Minnesota, New York, and New Hampshire.

Transcript:The high school document that describes the classes you have taken and the grades you received along with your academic and overall (cumulative) Grade Point Average (GPA)

Class Rank:A rating which compares your cumulative grade point average to other members of your class

Graduation Requirements:Established by your local school

College Admissions Requirements:A list of high school classes established by universi-ties for freshman admissions. These requirements are often more rigorous than high school graduation requirements. (Example: 3 years of math may be required for high school graduation but 4 years may be required by university admissions)

Prerequisite:A course which must be taken before you enroll in

Ask your teacher for an exit interview:Requesting a Parent-Teacher conference before your next transition can be a huge benefit to the success of your student. During this time you can check-in on your student’s academ-ics, discover your students’ academic strengths and needs, and how he or she best learns new information. This one-on-one time with your child’s current teacher can provide an abun-dance of information for you to share with your student’s next teacher. Knowing and understanding the successes of your stu-dent can assist in continually making the next transition better than the last. Request a letter from your current teacher:Asking your current teacher to write a short letter describing your child as a student can help the next teacher to understand where your student is academically, socially, and behaviorally. While not a substitute for progress reports and student perfor-mance, an individualized letter from your child’s teacher can help the next school to play on the strengths of your student and help for a smooth transition to the next location.

As summer approaches and PCS season kicks into full swing, all students are starting to feel the stress of transitioning. Whether your family is transitioning across country, to a new school, or simply to a new grade, here are some tips for helping to continue the success of your school age kids:

Talk to your School Liaison:The School Liaison’s in your area are here to help answer any questions you (or your child) may have about the new school or new district where you will be transitioning. Not only can they help to connect you with clubs and organizations that are of interested to your child but they can also provide assistance in Special Needs Navigation, credit transfers, and other items relating to the Military Interstate Children’s Compact.

Your current School Liaisons can be found athttp://www.navylifesw.com/slo.

Encourage Memories:Help your student create a memory timeline of all the people they met, friends they made, and fun activities they participated in at their last school. When you get to the new school, or enter the new grade encourage the continuance of this project as way to build tradition and positivity around transitioning.

Enter the School’s Community:If your schedule allows, try to become part of your school’s community. Many school sites offer Military Parent Groups that help build support and resiliency in our military students. Additionally, schools love volunteers to come in and help with different activities, functions, and projects. When your student sees you at their school interacting with other parents and staff it serves as a reminder that transitioning is a family endeavor.

dePloyment sUPPort

Serra High School was one of six High Schools from across the US to recently travel to San Antonio, Texas to take part in the Student-2-Student train-ing that was conducted by the Military Child Education Coali-tion (MCEC). This ambassador

training is meant to ease transition on our military, as well as civilian, students by providing a variety of support.

These supports vary at each school site, but at Serra High, include new student tours, first Friday lunches for new students, and weekly meetings. Serra High School is in San Diego Unified School District and currently has approximately 27% or 612 military students.

S2S isn’t new to the school, but has been re-energized due to recent training and an extremely dedicated group of educators and support staff that are committed to supporting transitioning students.

In April, the S2S team is planning several Month of the Military Child highlights to include posters, thank you cards and military candy grams, and in collaboration with the ASB, “Random Acts of Kindness” for the military students at Serra High School.

Parents need to communicate with children in ways that are developmentally appropriate. Timing and what is being shared are important factors. At home parents also help their children communicate with the deployed parent in age appropriate ways.

Here are some simple explanations of what children can grasp at certain ages:

THREE To FoUR yEAR olDS: No concept of time. A three year old thinks that three months is next week. Parents need to use markers, such as, “Dad or mom will be home right before your birthday or before this holiday.”

EARly ElEMENTARy SCHool: Better understanding of time. They understand that three months is a long time. Calendars are helpful. you can mark the calendar and say, “This is the day that Dad or mom is supposed to come home.”

SEvEN AND EIgHT yEAR olDS: Understand time and big-ger concepts. They will be able to look at calendar and mark it. you can say, “This is the day dad or mom is supposed to come home.” This age group understands concepts like good and bad. you can say dad or mom is going away to take care of the bad guys or bad things.

NINE, TEN, ElEvEN AND TwElvE yEAR olDS: Abstract thinking has begun. They are aware of the news and can understand concepts like the “national good.” you can put out a return date, and they will understand the timeframe. Reinforce this age groups’ skills by providing them with pre-stamped envelopes, as well as private email accounts for communicating.

olDER ADolESCENTS: Challenging age group. This is an emotional period of time under the best of circumstances. It is an age when children need to identify with their same sex parent. If that parent is deployed, it is especially difficult for the child.

Communicating with Children about

DeployMent


The School Liaison Officer’s primary function is to serve as a conduit between parents, educators and the command so that military-connected children experience a seamless transition during the transfer between schools. Most military children move up to nine times in their PreK-12th grade years and consistency and retention of educational goals is a major focus for families when planning to PCS. The School Liaison Officers can offer information on area schools and help facilitate communication between the military family on matters relating to regional public and private schools as well as home school and alternative modes of education.

NRSW is comprised of 8 School Liaison Officers. In San Diego specifically, there are 4 Installation SLOs, and 1 Regional SLO, and collectively, they work in all 42 school districts in San Diego County. There are about 150,000 active duty service members in California and approximately 60,000 school-aged military

children, and every year 25% – 30% of our service men and women are reassigned; therefore, between 15,000 and 18,000 school-aged children will be moving in or out of California each year. San Diego alone is home to more than 30,000 military-connected, school-aged children, some of whom move 9 times between K-12th grades.

The School Liaison Officer provides information and resources for military families on internal organizations including, but not limited to, Fleet and Family Support Programs (FFSP), Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), Child and Youth Program (CYP) activities as well as some external organizations, such as but not limited to, the Armed Services YMCA, Military Family Collaborative, and Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. They also serve as a subject matter expert in education-related issues such as the Interstate Compact for Military Children, Department of Education, local school districts and other education related organizations.

School Liaison Officer Leslie Flynn and Child and Youth Programs Director Theresa Ikstrums joined forces with La Mesa Elementary School Principal Patsy Oxford to ensure a smooth transition to Kindergarten for the twenty four pre-kinder children currently enrolled at NSA Monterey’s Child Development Center. According to CYP Director Theresa Ikstrums one of the major goals of Kindergarten Boot Camp is to refine the transition process so that both children and their parents have a positive start to a meaningful and productive academic path. The pre-planning meeting for Kindergarten Boot Camp was also attended by Youth Programs Director Dora Kurpierz, and Pre-School Lead Teacher Indra Reddy. The Kindergarten grade level team consisting of Geri Bieman, Mary Kadish, Kim Jimenez, Erica Chavez, and Angela Marano also took part in the meeting.

Participants discussed what skills both academic and social might benefit children entering Kindergarten such as proper pencil grip, raising hands, taking turns, and encouraging children to be their own problem-solvers. Mrs. Oxford and Ms. Ikstrums agreed to have the pre-kinder children at the CDC begin lunchtime filed trips to La Mesa Elementary in small groups of six or seven children accompanied by CDC staff. The pre-kinder children will bring their lunches to school have lunch in the cafeteria and then join current year Kindergarteners on the playground for recess. Such field trips will give the children an opportunity to become more familiar and comfortable with the school campus. For her part Miss Flynn has prepared a Kindergarten Readiness Packet for parents. It contains the new Common Core State Standards as well as tips, activities, and books that parents can read with their children to help prepare for the school year. Kindergarten enrollment information with POCs for all three public school districts in the area has been posted to the NPS website.

It’s finally summer time! While your student may be reaching for the sky and doing cartwheels throughout the house, summer can be a challenging time for parents that want to keep their students learning while not in school.

Researchers have labeled the “Summer Slide” as the reading levels that are lost during the summer months when students are actively engaged in harnessing their reading skills.

So, how do you work to prevent this learning loss and continue to enhance your student’s reading skills when all they want to do is play outside?

Help Combat the Summer Slide for all students as well as great Home schooling tips for all year!

Combine activities with books Summer leaves lots of time for kids to enjoy fun activities such as going to the park, seeing a movie, or going to the beach. why not also encourage them to read a book about the activity? If you’re going to a baseball game, suggest that your child read a book about a favorite player beforehand. This kind of research engages your student in the baseball game, allows them to have fun, and they may be learning something and not even realize it! while waiting for the next inning to begin you will have a lot to talk about with your stellar reader!

Take a trip to the Library If your child doesn’t have a library card, summer is a great time to sign up for one. In addition to a wide selection of books to borrow, many libraries have fun, child-friendly summer reading programs. The MCRD library has a wealth of books, e-books, and magazines as well as Story Times where students can keep reading over the summer.

Be a great role model Read the newspaper at breakfast, pick up a magazine at the doctor’s office, or stuff a paperback in your beach bag. If

kids see the adults around them reading often, they will understand that literature can be a fun and important part of their summer days.

Talk it up Talking with your kids about what you have read also lets them know that read-ing is an important part of your life. Tell them why you liked a book, what you learned from it or how it helped you— soon they might start doing the same.

Reading doesn’t just come from storybooks Storybooks aren’t the only thing that kids can read for fun. Be sure to have newspa-pers, magazines, and informational mate-rial on hand that might spark the interest of a young reader.

Read aloud with kids.Take your children to see a local sto-ryteller or be one yourself. Reenacting skits and plays are also a great way to help your child work on reading fluency throughout the summer months. Don’t forget to improvise different voices, wear a silly costume, or let your child create a backdrop to make the play more exciting!

There are many strategies families might employ to encourage summertime reading:Attention,

High school seniors in the Engineering and Design Career Pathway at Hueneme High School have had the opportunity this school year to visit many sites on Naval Base Ventura County. This allows the students to see engineering in action.

These students chose to be a part of an Engineering Academy in the 10th grade. Up until now, they have been learning about it in the classroom. Visiting NBVC allows them to see how engineering is used in the work place and in the military.

The students have visited the Naval Construction Training Center (NCTC) where they saw civil engineering at its finest. They met Seabees who work as electricians, equipment operators, steel workers, and builders. They also visited the Seabee Museum where they learned about the history of the Seabees.

They’ve also visited the Naval Satellite Operation Center (NAVSOC). There they learned about managing, operating and maintaining satellite systems. They received encouragement from NAVSOC personnel (military and civilian) about pursuing higher education and setting goals.

Recently, the students visited Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 30 (VX-30) and were able to learn more about the many engineering fields related to aviation. Students were able to board a C-130 and a P-3 Orion and see an S-3 up close, including its engine. Students also had the awesome opportunity to see some of the Navy’s unmanned aerial vehicles, including the unmanned helicopter, Fire Scout.

PartnershiPs in edUCation

The USS Essex (lHD 2) has been involved in volunteering at Sunset Elementary School, part of the San ysidro Unified School District, for over a year, engaged in Math tutoring and Physical Education activities. lt. Mcgrath, the command Chaplain, organizes the events

The typical schedule is two times a month, although that is dependent on the school’s calendar and ship’s schedule. on Tuesday March 18th several sailors from the USS Essex spent the afternoon tutoring 3rd and 4th graders in math in the school library.

The academic mentoring and positive role models is an important part of the Partnership in Education that takes place between the ship and the school.

The kids are almost out of school and they have the long lazy days of summer ahead. Now is a good time to start plan-ning activities to engage their creative side and keep them from saying the dreaded: “I am bored.”

Engaging your child’s “creative thinker” helps them learn that problems have many different solutions, and when they encounter an obstacle, they can find a way around it rather than giving up on a goal. Creative projects encourage children to find the resources to make what they want, rather than opening up a box that has all the supplies in one place.

Creative Summer Play

Lacing yarn around large letters, either store bought foam type or type you have cut out. This activity is a great way to reinforce lessons on the alphabet, while at the same time improving fine motor skills. Kindergartners and first graders may be able to cut out the letters themselves working on their fine motor skills.

With the nice weather, partake in some sensory activities out-side that will help your child to integrate their senses. Spray an outside table with shaving cream and let your child smear it around or fill a bin with rice and dig your

fingers in the bin. You may need a hose to clean up afterward which can lead to some fun water play.

Make“thebesttentever”bypulling out all of your blankets and chairs and have the tent overtake your living room or backyard. Tent play can occupy your children for hours. It may also be a great re-source to soothe a child, providing a hide-out or quiet place. Place a bean bag chair inside the tent along with books and a flashlight.

All children can partake in a game of memory match. Depending on your child’s learning level, start

off with only a few picture cards to match. Get children to say the name of the picture on the card each time they flip it over. You can gradually add more cards and replace the pictures with simple words,suchas“dog”or“ball.”Your child can practice writing skills by making a chart of the cards he or she flips over.

These are just a few examples on how to engage our children year round and get them thinking how tohavefuncreating“outsidethebox.”
