Thank you for joining us and for helping us reach our goal to fund the student Field Trips for next school year. A special thank you to the PTO and to Keri Conn and Season Eckhardt for their behind the scenes preparations and hard work!

From the PE Shed
After a long, wet, indoor activity kind of winter, Spring is here! And with it brings warmer weather that feels even hotter while out at PE. Please make sure your child has a labeled water bottle and appropriate shoes every Wednesday and Thursday for PE class. I do have lockers if they want to store tennis shoes in the shed.
Also, state fitness testing is upon us and students in grades 5-8 will be jogging a mile most days for endurance training. Please remember (in all grades) that if they are unable to participate on any day they need to bring a note from a doctor or parent stating so, otherwise all students are expected to take part.
I am so excited for the sunshine and outdoor time with your children! I also encourage them to get physically active for at least 30 minutes most days. It’s good for us all!

CAASPP Practice Tests
It's that time of year again when schools begin the state testing. Our students in grades 3-8 will be taking the Smarter Balanced assessments in English/Language Arts and Mathematics. These tests are administered on the computer and often can be challenging. Our testing window is from May 1 through May 10. We will be sending more information about the testing schedule in the next several weeks. In the meantime, I encourage you to have you and your student(s) take the practice tests. You can access these tests HERE.
Homework Help for Math
We have been excited to implement our new math program, Eureka Math, this year. It is one of the best aligned and more rigorous programs for students. It is really pushing our growth mindset, but we are seeing some very positive outcomes. We can't wait to analyze the data at the end of the year.
With this shift in rigor, we also realize that this makes it more difficult for parents to support their students at home. We have found a wonderful resource that allows you to choose your student's grade level, the module they are working on, and the lesson number. Then, you can look at sample homework, video taped lessons, and other resources. This resource comes from Oakdale Joint Unified School District. Click HERE to utilize this awesome site!

ATS Academic Talent Search is this Summer at Sac State
Students from HRCCS are invited to participate in Sacramento State's Academic Talent Search (ATS) Program! ATS provides 4th-9th graders (grade level as of Jan 1 2017) with over 100 fun interactive and unique summer courses in a collegiate environment. Courses cover traditional subjects as well as new and creative topics not always available in regular school. ATS is a self-supporting, non-profit program that receives no University, state or federal funding. ATS summer courses are specifically designed for two age groups. Grades 4/5 and Grades 6-9th. Current 4/5th graders can explore hands on classes designed to encourage critical thinking, problem solving and analytical skills while engaging with other students who share their enthusiasm for learning. 6-9th graders can accelerate their learning in a University Environment. They will have access to University facilities like the library, student union and campus eateries. To join in on this fun and educational opportunity, students simply take a short exam that automatically qualifies them for the program and no test preparation is required since it is not a pass or fail exam. You MUST take the test to qualify for ATS, but you don't have to apply if you change your mind.
HRCCS will be offering the ATS exam on March 8th at 3pm. For more information about signing up and taking the test, contact Bridget Farren at 916-259-1425. See below for more information about ATS.

Students from HRCCS are invited to participate in Sacramento State's Academic Talent Search (ATS) Program! ATS provides 4th-9th graders (grade level as of Jan 1 2017) with over 100 fun interactive and unique summer courses in a collegiate environment. Courses cover traditional subjects as well as new and creative topics not always available in regular school. ATS is a self-supporting, non-profit program that receives no University, state or federal funding. ATS summer courses are specifically designed for two age groups. Grades 4/5 and Grades 6-9th. Current 4/5th graders can explore hands on classes designed to encourage critical thinking, problem solving and analytical skills while engaging with other students who share their enthusiasm for learning. 6-9th graders can accelerate their learning in a University Environment. They will have access to University facilities like the library, student union and campus eateries. To join in on this fun and educational opportunity, students simply take a short exam that automatically qualifies them for the program and no test preparation is required since it is not a pass or fail exam. You MUST take the test to qualify for ATS, but you don't have to apply if you change your mind.
HRCCS will be offering the ATS exam on March 8th at 3pm. For more information about signing up and taking the test, contact Bridget Farren at 916-259-1425. See below for more information about ATS.

Harvest Ridge Heart and Sole Running Club aka HRHS begins Jan. 17th ~
It's time get off the couch and run. A few parents are interested in starting up this amazing running club and are looking for additional parent volunteers to help ensure student safety on runs. This club will be for 3-8th graders and is open to any other HRCCS younger student runner accompanied by their fingerprinted:) parent/grandparent etc.. Students will be running one day after school and one day before school (weather permitting). Dates and times TBD. We will follow the Couch to 5K running plan and our goal is to begin the week of January 17th and to compete in a in a local 5K event in the late Spring. There is no cost associated with the club except for the entrance fees associated with the 5K run.
Learning Conferences are scheduled for January 26th!
Science Night - Thursday, February 23rd from 6:00-7:00pm ~
It is our tradition to come together as a community of students and parents to celebrate the sciences on this day. We will begin our science exploration Independent Study Day with a STEM field trip to Roller King from 9-Noon (1 hour of hands on science and 2 hours of skating) The cost of the STEM activity and skating is $9 per skater. Parent skaters are $5 and non-skating parents and children are free. You are welcome to bring in snacks and food to the rink, but there is also a snackbar. Following our field trip, families will go home and rest up for our Science Exhibition Night beginning at 6pm.Much like our Art Night, this is an opportunity for students to show their knowledge in an area of science that appeals to them. Students will learn more about their project options in the coming weeks.
SeaPerch 6-8th grade Team ~
We have been asked to build and compete in SeaPerch. It is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an enrichment setting. Students build the ROV from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts. A team of 6-8th graders will build their submarine and compete at the Del Oro pool with Newcastle school's team. We need at least one parent volunteer advisor to help our student team make their vehicle. The kit is on its way to us! The advisor would meet with the students one day a week (prefer Thursdays to partner with Newcastle @ 2:30-4, beginning January 19th and finishing up March 2nd (6 Thursdays). See Mrs. Farren to make this possible for our kids! The kit is free and has been donated to us from Auburn Unified School District. Minimal competition fees may apply (but will not be more than $20)

Hot Lunch Update : November 3rd is the final hot lunch of our Trimester. This week's lunch is pizza! We want to send out a special thank you to Season and her team of culinary moms and dads who have made hot lunch possible each week so far this year. To prepare for the next wave of hot lunches we need: 1 Volunteer Hot Lunch Coordinator for Trimester 2 to step forward and lead the next team to more culinary goodness. Join us on Tuesday, October 25th right after school for 30 minutes as we brainstorm our next menus. Parents, the staff will be asking students what their favorite hot lunch menu items are during the week, so that we can be sure to share these out in the brainstorm session. Serving healthy and delicious hot lunch to over 100 students, in a 30 minute window of time, from a very tiny kitchen, is no easy task. Please consider volunteering your time to plan and serve this weekly meal for the next trimester. Many hands make light work!

WHAT IS RED RIBBON WEEK? It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. WHY? The Red Ribbon Campaign® was started in 1985 following a terrible loss of law enforcement in a drug-trafficking incident. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA.
WHO? National Family Partnership is the sponsor of the National Red Ribbon Week® Celebration. We are helping citizens across the country come together to keep children, families and communities safe, healthy and drug-free, through parent training, networking and sponsoring the National Red Ribbon Campaign® WHY SUPPORT THE NATIONAL THEME? A theme unifies each year’s campaign and helps to broadcast one message, creating a tipping point to change behavior.
WHAT WE WILL DO THIS WEEK AT HRCCS ~ In honor of Red Ribbon Week we will promote conversation about how to make safe and healthy choices. Monday, our school resource officer will kick off the week with a greeting to our K-4th graders emphasizing our promise to make healthy choices and a red ribbon bracelet will be passed out to each student. 5-8th graders will hear the National theme of YOLO this year, which means You Only Live Once so make safe and healthy choices and make the drug free choice. Tuesday, the Newcastle Fire Dept. will stop by to remind students how to prevent and stay safe during a fire. To close the week each student will be given a red bulb to plant in our front yard to symbolize their promise to make healthy life choices.
Volunteer Hours ~ Plant a Promise this week
Can you help plant a promise this week? In honor of Red Ribbon Week each student will plant one red bulb and in April, when the red blooms grow we will be reminded of our pledge to make healthy choices. Donations of red bulbs will be accepted through Tuesday. See Bridget for details. We only need 110 bulbs.

Our students continue to learn about growth mindset in daily lessons. If you haven't had the opportunity to dig deeper with this concept at home, read this article from Huffington Post. The three questions posed are a great conversation starter at home. Bravery, kindness and the courage to keep trying when things get tough are attributes we often see in successful people. These are the attributes we want to foster and affirm in our Hawks!

WHAT IS RED RIBBON WEEK? It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. WHY? The Red Ribbon Campaign® was started in 1985 following a terrible loss of law enforcement in a drug-trafficking incident. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA.
WHO? National Family Partnership is the sponsor of the National Red Ribbon Week® Celebration. We are helping citizens across the country come together to keep children, families and communities safe, healthy and drug-free, through parent training, networking and sponsoring the National Red Ribbon Campaign® WHY SUPPORT THE NATIONAL THEME? A theme unifies each year’s campaign and helps to broadcast one message, creating a tipping point to change behavior.
WHAT WE WILL DO THIS WEEK AT HRCCS ~ In honor of Red Ribbon Week we will promote conversation about how to make safe and healthy choices. Monday, our school resource officer will kick off the week with a greeting to our K-4th graders emphasizing our promise to make healthy choices and a red ribbon bracelet will be passed out to each student. 5-8th graders will hear the National theme of YOLO this year, which means You Only Live Once so make safe and healthy choices and make the drug free choice. Tuesday, the Newcastle Fire Dept. will stop by to remind students how to prevent and stay safe during a fire. To close the week each student will be given a red bulb to plant in our front yard to symbolize their promise to make healthy life choices.
Volunteer Hours ~ Plant a Promise this week
Can you help plant a promise this week? In honor of Red Ribbon Week each student will plant one red bulb and in April, when the red blooms grow we will be reminded of our pledge to make healthy choices. Donations of red bulbs will be accepted through Tuesday. See Bridget for details. We only need 110 bulbs.

Our students continue to learn about growth mindset in daily lessons. If you haven't had the opportunity to dig deeper with this concept at home, read this article from Huffington Post. The three questions posed are a great conversation starter at home. Bravery, kindness and the courage to keep trying when things get tough are attributes we often see in successful people. These are the attributes we want to foster and affirm in our Hawks!

Our goals for the day were to welcome families back to school, to connect you deeper to the various educational experiences planned for the year, and to reaffirm the integral role you play in contributing to the learning environment at our cooperative school.
Classroom Supply Lists ~ Click on the class below to access lists of supplies.
Fall Assessment Schedule ~ Assessments continue this week, August 22nd-24th. Please sign up for an assessment time for your child(ren) using Sign Up Genius by clicking HERE. All students will be coming in to meet with their teacher prior to site classes starting on August 29th at 8:15am (new start time).
Enrichment ~ A special thank you to parent, Mistie Van Nort, who has created a wonderful Enrichment Calendar for our students this year. The first session begins Friday, September 9th (drop-off at 8:30am, classes run 9:00am-Noon). The first session will run for four weeks and the cost is $80. Click HERE to print out the enrichment registration and turn it in with your payment at the front desk. Pay Pal Registration is coming soon!
Fingerprint & TB Clearance ~ Just a reminder that all parents who are on campus during school hours and working with students, MUST have their fingerprint and TB clearance through our District. Other districts or activities that require these clearances are not kept in a shared database, and so you will need to do this through us. The fingerprint form is available HERE or in the school office. Fingerprint clearance is good for 7 years, so if you've already done this with us, you do not need to repeat at this time. We LOVE having you a part of our school day, so please get fingerprinted and TB cleared and come join the fun!
Independent Study ~ All students should be working on their independent study projects including the reading and activities from the One Author One School project. The reveal of our author, Roald Dahl, was very exciting. We are grateful for the beautiful illustrations of Dahl characters on the ball wall, painted by enrichment art teacher, Dana Ross and 1st/2nd grade teacher, Tina Wenstrom.
Parent Teacher Organization ~ PTO has loaded the bases with their TEAM theme this year and they don’t want you to miss a thing, so mark your calendar to be at the first PTO meeting, Tuesday, September 6th from 2:45-3:45pm (childcare is provided). Committee sign up sheets are located on the table outside the front office. The green committees are up to bat and need to be formed ASAP to ensure our Fall events and fundraisers are in place as planned. With your support of and participation in the PTO, we are able to help fund many educational experiences including field trips and art week. Other costs that are offset by the funds raised by PTO include, hot lunch, teacher appreciation, the Thanksgiving feast and the end of year picnic.
School Nurse ~ If your child requires emergency medication (Epi-pen, inhaler, etc.), please be sure to call the office to set up an appointment to see the school nurse, Jennifer Muller. Just a reminder that if you have an incoming kindergartener, new student or seventh grader and you have not provided a shot record to the school, please bring it in this week. Thanks!
