Get moving this Summer
Whether you are spending June in summer school or just exploring the East Bay, Ms. Casey and the Health Center are distruting bus passes to students who qualify through the upcoming school week. The best time to get connected is at lunch, and if you qualify, your summer travels can be made much easier and much more affordable with this pass. Sometimes students get no momthly pass, even though they qualify, because they did not take the last step to pick up their monthly pass. Make sure you don't sleep on this opportunity, otherwise you may find yourself more grounded than you choose

We celebrate our Languages this week
The pathway for our Limited English learners comes through Pinole Valley this Monday May 20. Students who are being homored are the ones who are going to be redesignated as Fully English Proficient. This means that the students will no lomger call on their EL supports. What an accomplishment! It means that while the student was learning a whole new language, they were also learing the Math, Science, Art and History classes that their peers must, but in their second or third language. We will be hosting the ceremony in our outdoor quad an then breaking bread in the cafeteria. That same night, our busy campus hosts the Health Academy's end of the year banquet and our monthly PTSA meeting. See you at--everything
