Cell #: 730-0570 Quality, Dependable, Professional Service Over 30 Years Experience in the Antelope Area! — Family Owned & Operated Business — Center Joint Unified School District BY SCOTT A. LOEHR, Superintendent As we continue with the implementation of the CJUSD Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), I am proud to share that we are making significant progress in attaining the goals we have established. Through the annual update process, will look at data, review the progress our Mr. district has made and revise goals as needed to meet the educational needs of our students. Annual update discussions with all stakeholders will happen throughout the district in March and April. I look forward to your input throughout the development of our LCAP. Updating technology throughout the district has been of high priority to stay up to date with innovative teaching practices and provide the necessary tools for students to be successful on the upcoming computer-adaptive Smarter Balanced Assessment. You may be wondering what it means to be computer adaptive. In a computer adaptive testing system the system makes choices about what questions to give to students based on the students’ answers to previous test questions. That is the adaptive quality. Unlike the previous paper and pencil system where most students saw the same test questions, the computer adaptive test is completely customized to each student’s ability level. Students will likely be more engaged with the computer adapted system. In the former pencil paper assessment, students who know all the answers got bored and student who might have struggled with answering difficult questions gave up. Because of the power of the computer-adaptive system, students will need to answer fewer questions, taking less time. Ways to support your child through Smarter Balanced Assessment: • Discuss the new assessment with your child. Make sure he or she is not scared or anxious about it. • With older children, explain that the new assessments were created to help him or her better prepare for college and career • Explain to your child that the new assessments will be more challenging, especially the first time they are taken • Tell your child that you and his or her teacher have high expectations and that you are both there to help them every step of the way. • Review test results with your child, bringing your child’s teacher into the discussion as necessary • Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast before testing Mark your calendars for our Open House events throughout the district. Open House provides an opportunity for your child to showcase their learning and accomplishments for the year. • Dudley Elementary: May 14th 6:00-7:00 • North Country Elementary: May 14th 5:30-7:30 • Oak Hill Elementary: May 14th 6:30-7:30 Loehr • Spinelli Elementary: May 14th, Silent Auction at 5:30, Classroom visitations 6pm-7pm Transitional Kindergarten is a program that provides a year of early education to help children develop the skills they need to succeed in kindergarten.

This year, seven students qualified to represent the district on March 12, 2015 at the Annual Mr. County-Wide Spelling Bee at the Placer County Office of Education in Auburn. Each of the qualifying district students were recognized by the Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District Board of Trustees on March 19, 2015. The Antelope Crossing Middle School yearbook staff, under the direction of Ms. Kim Burkhart, once again received First Place recognition for their 2013-2014 edition of “Crossroads” by the American Scholastic Press Association.

Antelope Crossing Middle School was well represented by two sixth grade (elementary division) and three eighth grade (middle school division) students, they each did very well at the Regional Finals and we are very excited to have one of our own representing us at the National Finals. The National History Bee is an academic competition for elementary and middle school students that tests knowledge of a wide range of historical topics. Teams from Olive Grove Elementary, Antelope Crossing Middle School, and Silverado Middle School, participated in the 2015 Capital Gold Odyssey of the Mind Tournament (OotM) held Tooker on Saturday, February 21, 2015.

Both teams from Olive Grove Elementary, and one team each from Antelope Crossing and Silverado Middle Schools, will be heading to Riverside, CA to participate at the state competition on March 28, 2015. Congratulations to all of the participants on their dedication and all of the hard work they put in to compete in this fabulous program.

You may hear him request, ‘Write a reason on your white-board. You have to have a reason.’ In his class, it’s no longer...because that’s how you do it. His style of teaching and learning is a perfect fit for Common Core.” Mr. Sampson is highly respect by his colleagues. Congratulations Steve Sampson!

C.J. loves music. It’s a part of his life every single day. He currently attends American River College, which he picked for the great music program and unparalleled teaching of music theory. At ARC he has done Latin Jazz Ensemble, Studio Jazz Ensemble (big band), and Jazz Combos, which are smaller ensembles, like quartets/quintets, etc. Specifically, C.J. plays the saxophone, but he also plays the Wind MIDI Controller and sings. In elementary school he started by singing and playing the piano but didn’t further pursue the piano because once he got to high school he liked the saxophone more. C.J. is the type of musician who enjoys playing any instrument he can get his hands on, so he can find his way around the bagpipes, harmonica, chanter, tin whistle, pan pipes and others.

He played football all four years of high school and he still enjoys playing sports with his friends. He likes to relax, get outside, play video games, jam with friends, and go to the movies. And he loves his parents. His parents have always encouraged him in all his endeavors and especially have helped him with his music and obtaining his saxophone. His dad was born in Georgia, but due to his father and his military experience, has moved around a lot. C.J.’s mother was born in Mexico but came to California with her family in her teen years. “It’s a blessing to have a supportive family!” C.J. and his father get to spend time together enjoying something they both love - singing. They have performed in shows at Sierra College, and at a community theater called “Celebration Arts.” They both volunteer as part of the music ministry at St. Clare Church. And C.J.’s band the City of Trees Brass Band is starting an educational outreach program that will host free clinics at school band classes. When asked about his plans for the future, C.J. is wise enough to realize that plans, with life, change constantly. But he knows that one of his main goals is to continue being a musician. So he will continue to practice, become better, network, and finish school. Ideally, he will be able to make a living by playing music. We wish our talented neighbor the best of luck!
