DATES HAVE CHANGED for Parent Workshops at LJES  
Now Scheduled for 4/10 and 4/17 at 11:30am

We are again fortunate to have Dr. Susan Wais present two parent workshops, free of charge, and open to all LJES parents and guardians.

Wednesday 4/10: Others Matter - One of the most important ingredients for a happy life is our relationship with others.  Research tells us how we respond to another person's good fortune is a better predictor of a successful relationship than how we respond when things go badly. Learn a simple technique that will allow you to respond to other's good news in a way that will build your relationship.

Wednesday 4/17: Grit -  Research shows that perseverance  is as important to success as intelligence. Learn about grit and how to help your children become grittier.

Help Shape the Future of La Jolla Public Schools!  
Town Hall Meeting, Tues. Feb. 19th, 6:30 pm
Muirlands Middle School Auditorium

What is the La Jolla Cluster Partnership Agreement, and how will it affect students and our schools?

More local control over our public schools IS possible!
Learn details and ask questions at our upcoming Partnership Agreement Town Hall Meeting, Tuesday, February 19th from 6:30 - 7:30 pm in the Muirlands Middle School Auditorium. 

The pieces are coming together -- You can help us move forward! Three years in the making, the La Jolla Cluster Partnership Agreement is a collaboration between our five Cluster schools and San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). The teachers and principals are coming together on the freedoms they seek. The teachers' union is partnering with us to support what our educators are requesting. SDUSD is encouraging us to move forward. We invite you to support these efforts by attending our town hall meeting to learn what's been happening and get your questions answered.
