Every year the Assistance League of Sacramento holds an essay contest about the Governor’s Mansion entitled “History in a Trunk” for 4^th graders in the Sacramento area. In January the Assistance League did a presentation to each of our 4^th grade classes about the history of the Governor’s Mansion. Then, the students wrote a narrative essay about the Governor’s Mansion for the contest. One winner was selected from each class, and each class winner will attend an awards ceremony on May 24^th at the Governor’s Mansion. The class winners for Elder Creek are:

The students, their family and the teachers will be attending the awards ceremony on Thursday, May 24^th at 3:30.

Congrats Kelly Zeng!

The theme was “What I like best about my school…” In an interview with Ms. Zeng, she says her school is best. She also said, “I like my teachers, Mrs. Mayer, learning, Art, and having fun at school.”

Sixth Grade Parents: Bring Proof of Tdap Booster to School
Parents and guardians of sixth graders: Please bring proof to school that your child has received the Tdap booster for tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough. Without this documentation, children may not be allowed to start middle school next fall. If your child has not received this important vaccine, please schedule an appointment with your health provider now. Visit www.scusd.edu/tdap for more information.

How to Enroll your child
All enrollments for new and transferring students are done at the Enrollment Center. The Enrollment Center was created as a one-stop resource to service families seeking resources and information when enrolling their children in our district. Families are able to enroll students, submit transfer and open enrollment applications, have questions answered, receive pre-testing services and benefit from the onsite immunization clinic.

Go to the Enrollment Center for more information.

Four schools offer Spanish immersion or bilingual programs (Edward Kemble, Cesar Chavez, Ethel Phillips and Bowling Green Chacon campus); Elder Creek and William Land have Chinese immersion programs; and Susan B. Anthony will open in the fall with a new Hmong immersion program. Check out the video of our Chinese Immersion program.
