Milpitas students STEAM up Rose Elementary 

12/16/2016

 
Students and staff at Alexander Rose Elementary School in Milpitas celebrated the completion of their Winter STEAM Exploratory Block by showcasing a variety of student artwork, photos, videos, and two live performances during a daytime and evening event on December 15.
“It gives the kids a chance to show off what they’ve done and what they’re learning,” said instructional coach Jenny Katzen, curator of the showcase. “It’s really cool to see kids excited about things they usually wouldn’t be able to do at school.”

Among the many class options this semester were the science of chocolate chip cookies, 3-D drawing and printing, bridge design, book writing and illustrating, think tank trainees, Hamilton, and weather.


During the event, students who attended weather, for example, displayed weather instruments such as thermometers, anemometers, and cloud classifications. Showcase attendees had the chance to see journals with evidence of work along with pictures. Students enrolled in Hamilton dazzled attendees with a live Rose Broadway spectacular during two shows.   


“We’ve been really working on student-driven learning,” Principal Nanci Pass said about the importance of the multi-grade STEAM program, now in its second year.


She explained there are many benefits to the program, where students meet once a week in an elective STEAM class throughout the semester. Among them, student engagement is increasing while behavioral issues are decreasing. Nanci explained the answer for this is simple: Because students have options for the elective, “they want to be a part of the class.”

These benefits have been noteworthy beyond the school community, with other community members recognizing the work. The Milpitas Rotary Club raised $10,000 for the program at a sold-out fundraiser in September.

Incumbent Daniel Bobay and first-time candidate Hon Lien sworn into school board

12/15/2016

 

Incumbent Daniel Bobay and first-time candidate Hon Lien were sworn in as school board members at the Board Meeting on Tuesday, December 13. An appointment rather than election took place for the positions because the trustees were the only candidates who ran and were therefore automatically appointed.

During the meeting, Hon Lien said: “It is with honor and humility that I accept my duties to serve on this board. As a parent of four children, who live here, attended school and graduated, I am deeply indebted to the teachers, the members of administration, and the school board for your leadership and your dedication to educate our children. Following in your footsteps, I will work with my fellow board members to provide all school administration and teachers with as much support as we can to make sure our teachers have the tools they need and environment they appreciate to deliver the best education to our children.”  

Daniel Bobay said: “I would like to thank our community, of course, the people of Milpitas, for allowing me to serve them in this capacity one more term. Having run for this for third time in the second uncontested election for my position, I am very grateful to the people of Milpitas for recognizing that we do a pretty good job. It’s always a job that we can do better. … Also, for the students that are here in Milpitas. They are precious to us as our own children are. Here’s one right now, a product of Milpitas schools,” he said, pointing to his son in attendance at the meeting.

Milpitas Unified will dish out district highlights at Sunnyhills’ community breakfast in January

12/6/2016

 
New leaders in Milpitas Unified School District will meet with residents and share highlights about their sites during a free community breakfast co-sponsored by the Sunnyhills Neighborhood Association and Sunnyhills United Methodist Church on January 7.
 
Presenters will include Superintendent Cheryl Jordan; Norma Rodriguez, Assistant Superintendent of Learning and Development; Milpitas High Principal Phil Morales; Weller Elementary Principal Alicia Padilla; and Gerry Lopez, Coordinator of Early Childhood Development and Family Engagement -- all new in their roles serving Milpitas.
 
"Schools are the backbone of our community,” said Allysson McDonald, president of the Sunnyhills Neighborhood Association. “With the personnel changes in MUSD during the last six months, we wanted to provide an opportunity for community members to meet some of the new staff, hear about their goals and strategies going forward, and find out how the community can partner with them to ensure that our schools are the best."
 
Jordan said this opportunity for discussion is important particularly because Milpitas High School, Weller Elementary School, and the Sunnyhills Child Development Center all serve the Sunnyhills neighborhood.
 
“It’s an opportunity to meet us and hear how each of us is working with our school community to build a ‘Culture of We,’” she said.  “The ‘Culture of We’ is a focus to show the rest of the world how a dynamic, diverse community of people from all backgrounds, speaking about 50 different languages, can live together in a way that we respect what one another has to say, we value and celebrate one another’s cultures, and we are always here for each other.”
 
The breakfast will run from 8-9:30 a.m. Saturday, January 7 at Jones Hall in Sunnyhills United Methodist Church, 355 Dixon Road, Milpitas. Donations will be accepted. The Milpitas Community Breakfast occurs the first (non-holiday) Saturday of the month except July and August. For more information, call (408) 262-0420.

Rose Elementary hosts 'Donuts with Dad' event for 43 kindergarten families

12/5/2016

 

The kindergarten team at Alexander Rose Elementary School was bustling with positive family engagement on Friday, December 2.

That morning, dads, grand
pas, brothers, uncles and other positive male figures from 43 families visited the school for coffee, juice, donuts and discussion with teachers Alanna Aker, Xuanthao Tran, Wendy Lundeen, and Lisa Elizondo.


"Our goal was to involve dads and create a comfortable environment for them to reach out, get involved, and be a part of their childs' academic and emotional growth," teacher Lisa Elizondo said.

She noted that one parent came from a construction site on his break to be there for his son, and other parents arranged to arrive at work later than usual so they had the chance to attend.

​"These stories were touching to the teachers and made the event that much more special," Lisa added.
The school plans to host Muffins with Mommies event in May 2017, in honor of Mother's Day.​
