Dear SASCA-CV Families,

Thank you being a part of the great start to the school-year! The Posting Party went off without a hitch, thanks to the Mom Squad and Staff. It is so important for all educational partners: community/parents/students/staff to work together as a team throughout the year to bring excellence for our students.

There have been questions regarding dismissal. In the August newsletter, the "Bell Schedule" was sent. What this means is that the teachers are teaching until that time. You will see the expected time bold and in parenthesis. This means that you can expect your child(ren) to be walking out of class at that time. Please plan accordingly for pickup. As well, it is not allowed to turn left out of the exit gate. While inconvenient for some, we must follow strictly to the traffic regulations. Thank you!

A Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Program is offered at Sycamore Academy. It is designed to meet the unique academic and social-emotional needs of students who demonstrate exceptional abilities or potential in various areas such as intellectual aptitude, creativity, leadership, and specific academic fields.

Our program offers enrichment activities and differentiated instruction to challenge these students beyond the standard curriculum.

Parent and Teacher referral forms can be found on our website.

Referrals are due September 13th!

If accepted, students will Participate in Odyssey of the Minds and have the ability to participate in several competitions.

Chino Hills Downtown Art Gallery had its one year anniversary experience last week where two of our Sycamore Academy students, Penelope Cheamak and Omar Abuhajjij, participated. Their gallery is open on Wednesdays to coincide with the Shoppe's Farmers Market.

I had the privilege of attending the Ontario Women's Conference on 8/29. It was an inspiring event, hearing from powerful women of the Inland Empire. Below is a short clip of Senator Connie M. Leyva (D)-District 20. I hope you enjoy!
