Birney Elementary

Spring has sprung and we are all enjoying the blooming trees and flowers, some cold, wet days followed by gorgeous sunny days, fun and interesting field trips and a determined classroom focus on the upcoming California Standards Tests (CST). With all the activities and programs going on in the remaining school months, the school year is going to be a whirlwind!
We had our In-n-Out Family Night on Thursday, February 23, and thanks to your support, we sold 390 hamburgers, raising $1170 for our school! THANK YOU! We hope to have a successful Spring Fundraiser too. Students who sell one box of chocolates are invited to enjoy a magic show!
We are also preparing for the CST and we ask for your continued support in our partnership for your child’s academic success. Please send your child to school well rested and fed, and prepared to do his or her best on these tests. I would also like to request that you do not set up any appointment for your child that may interfere with the school day. I thank you in advance for your cooperation and help! Results on these tests determine the school’s status for next year, as well as contribute to the District’s standing.
Again, thank you for your continued support! Research continues to show that parent involvement leads to higher level of achievement for students. Involvement can mean volunteering at school, attending school activities, or just talking with your child about events of interest relating to school and what they’ve been studying in class. You make the difference and we can’t do it without you! THANK YOU!
