Urgent
Orientation Update
CKM parents are asked to ensure
that their students bring TWO
copies of the completed and
parent-signed emergency card
with them to their
back-to-school orientation
session. Students who do not
have two parent-signed copies of
the form will not be able to
obtain their class schedules or
rent lockers.
Emergency cards were mailed to
each CKM student's home. If you
have more than one CKM student,
you should have received TWO
copies for EACH student. It has
come to our attention that some
families may not have received
two copies per student, OR that
some copies were not copied
properly. Please check your
emergency card copies. If you
did not receive TWO copies for
each of your CKM students or if
you received improperly copied
documents, download the
Emergency Card, complete and
sign TWO copies (original
signatures on BOTH copies), and
give to your student to bring to
his/her back-to-school
orientation session. Thank you! |

Parents!
Get Online Access to CKM with
Zangle
During Orientation days, take
part in a quick training on how
to use Zangle Parent Connection.
The training will be held each
day at 10:00 a.m. and will take
approximately one half hour.
This simple web-based program
will allow authorized users to
check students’ attendance,
grades, assignments and more
from any computer. If you are
unable to attend the parent
session during orientation, we
anticipate there will be an
additional evening session after
the start of school. |
Daily

The first day of school for the
2010 - 2011 school year is
Tuesday, September 7.
Students should report to school
at 8:20 a.m. (7:18 a.m.
if taking zero period).
Dismissal time is now 3:07
p.m. The school day has been
shortened in comparison to
previous years because of the
elimination of "late start

revised slightly to reflect this
change. |

New Parent Resource Center
available at SCUSD
Sacramento City Unified School
District recognizes that when
families are involved in their
children's education, students
have higher grades, better
attendance, improved behavior
and demonstrate a more positive
attitude toward education. We
are proud of the diversity of
our students and believe that
building authentic,
culturally-inclusive
partnerships with their families
is the best way to ensure their
success in school and life. A
new Parent Resource Center at
the Serna Center will be open
daily from 8:30 to 5:00 p.m.
with staff to assist parents.

6 Books
Educators believe that students need to
read at least six books over the summer
to avoid “summer slide.” Librarian
Jeannie Tudesko and parent Kathryn
Tobias have provided PTSA with
school-provided reading lists as well as
websites that may be helpful. If you
want to get started researching books
for your teen, try the website of the
American Library Association with a
number of lists for teens:
www.ala.org/yalsa/booklists. Experts
say the act of reading is what is
important, not what they are reading.
Classics, cartoon compilations,
magazines, and light summer reads are
all ok.

Healthy Choices
At the April 20 PTSA meeting, Trisha
Seastrom of Panacea Services spoke on "Trends
in Adolescent Substance Use and Abuse."
Panacea Services provide free and
confidential, alcohol and drug treatment
services at CKM through the Student
Support Center (Healthy Start). Ms.
Seastrom talked about the kinds of drugs
students are likely to abuse. She
strongly encouraged parents to talk
openly with their children about the use
of substances (in an age appropriate
manner) starting at a very early age.
