We've completed STAR testing! Importantly, we had an excellent participation rate--over 99.5%! Results will arrive in late summer and will be presented to the entire school community in early September as part of a welcome-back community meeting!

By way of reminder, Journey School implemented a trimester cycle for reporting on student academic and personal progress in 2009-10 to ensure consistent and timely feedback. We want you to know early that end-of-the-year student progress reports will be e-mailed home by your teacher no later than June 30th.

Journey School's lease will be honored in its entirety next year! There will be no changes. Long-term lease negotiations with the district will commence in the coming days. Be on the lookout for an important CUSD announcement regarding the space currently occupied by the Niguel Children's Center. We want to reiterate our gratitude to Dr. Farley, Ron Lebs, Julie Hatchel, Randy Rowles, and all our district partners for their efforts. We also want to thank the Journey School community for its resilience.

We are very pleased all full-time teachers are returning to lead your children into a wonderful school year in 2011-12. Such staff retention is a big step forward for Journey School and will allow us to continue to build schoolwide strength and sustainability. We do want take a moment to express gratitude for 4 specialty teachers not returning next year: Deb Jardine, Ms. Joy, Ms. Roby, and Ms. Sylvia. These wonderful people derived great fulfillment from working with your children, and all are choosing to leave Journey School on very good terms. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE and we wish you the best as you move on to new professional endeavors. For everyone's information, current job vacancies are posted on the community bulletin board.
