With the incoming presidential administration, the education community in Santa Clara County, including Cambrian School District, affirms its commitment to protecting students and families regardless of their citizenship status. Here are some helpful resources as we navigate this challenging issue:

• The SCCOE has compiled this resource guide to support local education agencies receiving requests for information about what families can do to prepare in case a parent or other family member is detained or deported by immigration agents.
• The State of California has an online immigration resource website.
• Immigrant Resources from the CA Attorney General’s office, available in English and Spanish

Hopefully these resources will help us as we move forward. We are committed to every student and family in the Cambrian School District.

Join Valley Sports at Price's Winter/Spring After School Sports Program! Students will play Basketball, Soccer, and/or Volleyball that will focus on skill and team development. Multi-Sport games will be a mix of our camper favorite middle school summer camp games, such as Hula Hut Throwdown, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Tennis Baseball, etc. This fun program is FREE for all girls and boys at Price in grades 6th-8th grade. Classes will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, from 3:00 - 4:30. Session dates will be January 21st - May 22nd (16 weeks). This class is great for all levels of athleticism, and will also focus on sportsmanship, building confidence, making friends, and of course FUN! If you have any questions about the program, please reach out to Kim Mercer, kim@valleysportscamp.com

Branham 8th grade Family Information Night: Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 6:30pm

Leigh 8th grade Parent Information Night: Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 6pm

• By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
  
• By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.

• Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day.

• Help your children maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
• Try not to schedule dental and non-urgent related medical appointments during the school day.
• Keep your student healthy, and if you are concerned about Covid-19, call your school for advice.
• If your children must stay home because they are sick, make sure they have asked teachers for resources and materials to make up for the missed learning time in the classroom.

Thank you to everyone for continuing to help keep all of our students safe on their way to and home from school. Just as a reminder to continue to follow all of the parking lot safety measures to ensure all of our students and families are safe.
