Dear Friends of the PFC,
Please join us Monday morning at 9:30am in the MEDIA CENTER/LIBRARY for our monthly PFC meeting. Next month we plan to be back in the Lecture Hall.
Thanks to the support of our generous parents and City of Calabasas, here's just a sample of how your donations have recently been helping the students and staff: The PFC has purchased microscopes, new chemistry molecular models, heart model marker boards, a GoPro camera and Phantom Drone with camera for Robotics and other specific projects. Computers and computer carts have been ordered as well as instruments, projectors and sheet music for the Music department. All staff and counselors will be attending conferences and seminars for general professional development and Common Core. More to come......Media Center/Library needs and every other department! We are here to make a difference.
Buy your tickets now for the April 25th Jason Alexander Gala. It is a fundraising and event not to be missed (see below for all the details).
Many thanks,

FAFSA and CAL GRANT: The FAFSA form (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is up and live on FAFSA.gov. DO NOT GO TO FAFSA.com or FAFSA.org! This document can be submitted for FREE -- if you go to a website that is charging you to submit the FAFSA you are on the wrong website! The Cal Grant GPA Verification Form is available in the College and Career Center. The Cal Grant form is an application for money for any higher education in the State of California for a California resident. This includes private and public 4-year colleges, all community colleges and vocational school. The FAFSA must be submitted before the Cal Grant. Students may bring the Cal Grant form to Mrs. Lutsky in the College and Career Center for GPA Verification. The form is then returned to the student. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAIL THEIR OWN CAL GRANT FORM TO THE CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID COMMISSION! It is wise to check the FAFSA and Cal Grant deadlines that each college has set. Any questions, please contact Robin Lutsky at rlutsky@lvusd.org.

"CERT" TRAINING
FEMA: FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Preparedness Myths Debunked
Disasters can happen at any time and with little to no warning; that's why being prepared is so important! Some people may rely on old preparedness myths in response to certain disasters, which can prove dangerous. When it comes to disaster preparedness, can you separate fact from fiction?
- Standing inside a doorway is the best way to stay safe during an earthquake? WRONG! According to FEMA, the current protective action to take during an earthquake is to drop, cover, and hold on. Download the America's PrepareAthon! How to Prepare for an Earthquake Guide to learn earthquake basics and how to protect yourself during tremors. You can also check out the animated video, When The Earth Shakes, to see how to stay safe.
- First responders will be able to help everyone during disasters. WRONG! Emergency responders do a great job keeping people safe, but they can't do it alone. It may also be several days before they can reach your area.
- Remember, being prepared for disasters is a shared responsibility. It takes the whole community working together to effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and other emergencies.
The County of Los Angeles Fire Department Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training was developed through FEMA to provide basic fire safety and life saving skills. Please join us in Agoura Hills, March 3rd, click here for flyer, or in Calabasas, March 19th, click here for flyer.
