Letter from our Principal
At dismissal, a student was almost hit by a car as
she crossed the street. This is a reminder to please
slow down and stay alert when driving in the traffic
circle and when crossing the street. Make sure that
your children wait to walk with you through the
crosswalk. We know that the traffic situation is
challenging. By working together, we can help all
students safely arrive and depart from school.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Moore
Principal

California‘s economy increasingly relies on highly educated workers—and the K-12
public education system can lay the foundation for successful preparation before students
enter the workforce or pursue a postsecondary education.
To meet future economic demand, the state needs to more robustly invest in the public
education system. California currently ranks 46th in the nation in per-pupil funding.
What will it take to move the state to a robust investment level to prepare students
to continue to compete in the 21st century global economy,
and solve the state‘s future challenges?
Join the San Diego Unified School District, the San Diego Unified Council of Parent
Teacher Association (PTA) and the United Way of San Diego for a countywide discussion
with parents, community and business leaders on why supporting public schools matters
for society and the economy. Superintendent Cindy Marten will provide welcoming
remarks to highlight key district initiatives that hold promise in closing the opportunity
gap with additional investments in the classroom.
United Way of San Diego will moderate the panel discussion and Questions and Answers:
Andrea Guerrero, Executive Director, Alliance San Diego
Clare Crawford, President and Executive Director, Center for Policy Initiatives
Ed Hidalgo, Senior Director of Staffing, Qualcomm
Mark Cafferty, President and CEO, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.
Gregg Robinson, President, San Diego County Board of Education
Celeste Bobryk-Ozaki, President, San Diego Unified Council of PTAs
Spanish translators will be available

It‘s a Jolly Holiday with Mary!
On Monday October 26th we
surprised Mrs. Mary Taylor with
a celebration send off before she
started as the new Interim-
Principal at Birdrock Elementary.
She was showered by every class
from TK-5th with cards, gifts, and
an amazing performance of “It’s
a Jolly Holiday with Mary” that
Mrs. Yamamoto’s 4th graders
performed including some
sounds from the brass band.
The purpose of the nominating committee is to recognize and seek
qualified nominees for the elected leadership of the PTA.
The members of the committee have a tremendous influence
on the future of the PTA.
Nominating committee members should have a broad acquaintance
with the membership and an understanding of the organization‘s
functions and its purposes. The committee should include both
experienced leadership as well as newer members. The nominating
committee members will be given all the materials and support
they need to ensure their success in their search for
new leaders for the 2016-2017 Board.
The elected positions the PTA members will vote in the Spring to fill are:

CALIFORNIA STATE PTA RESPONDS TO
GOVERNOR‘S 2016-2017 BUDGET PROPOSAL
January 8, 2016
Media Contacts: Vice President for Communications, [email protected]
Director of Communications and Strategic Initiatives, [email protected]
Insights on Behalf of the State‘s Largest Child-Advocacy Association
Budget Summary SACRAMENTO – Gov. Jerry Brown released his 2016 – 2017
budget proposal Jan. 7, 2016. California State PTA President Justine Fischer offered
insights on behalf of the state‘s largest child-advocacy organization:
―The governor‘s proposed budget increases per-pupil funding and corrects many
historical fiscal inequities that hurt public education during years of deficit spending.
Increasing funding by $368 per pupil and meeting 95 percent of the Local Control
Funding Formula (LCFF) commitment demonstrates a sound investment in the
children of our state. The governor‘s proposal is an excellent start for discussions with
the Legislature, particularly regarding early childhood learning, school facilities and a
long-term vision for state and local accountability.
―Included in the governor‘s proposal is $1.25 billion in one-time funds. We believe
these funds can be effectively used to ensure that LCFF and the tenet of ‗subsidiarity‘
will be successful by investing in family, parent and student engagement.
―California State PTA has been speaking with the Governor‘s Office during the past
months about the importance of specific one-time funding for family engagement – the
number-one predictor of student success. The governor‘s proposed budget does not
currently include dedicated funding to support meaningful parent and family
engagement in schools.
―A vital premise of the new Local Control Funding Formula is that decisions about
student success are best made by those closest to the classroom. But simply adding a
requirement for more parent and family engagement is not enough. There are no
shortcuts to raising student achievement or to successful parent engagement. It takes
an investment of time and resources, especially to reach parents from all school sites,
backgrounds and in all languages.
―This window of opportunity is short, and this is the year to support and strengthen
what is now in state law – engaging parents and families. We want LCFF to succeed.
From our California State PTA

―We look forward to continuing our conversation with
the governor, the Legislature and other stakeholders on the
importance of parent and family engagement in the months
ahead.‖
