Carrillo Chronicle 1st Trimester 2008 final on web (2)
Carrillo Chronicle WELCOME TO OUR NEW CARRILLO COLTS Carrillo Elementary By: Fran Pistone As you probably know, the San Marcos Unified School District instituted major boundary changes due to the opening of our newest elementary school, Joli Ann. While we were very sad to lose so many of our dear students and their families, we spent the summer looking forward to meeting our new arrivals. Well over 200 new children have joined our team and we are thrilled to welcome each and every one. We also congratulate the families on now being an important part of the best school in town!! We know this will be an exciting, engaging and challenging year and truly look forward to working with our new Colts and their families. MAIL ANYONE? By: Jamie Cummings How do you get kids to love reading, writing, and motivated to spell correctly? Send them a letter the old fashioned way! Our award winning Carrillo Post Office will be up and running September 22nd! Students in Mrs. Cummings class will continue collecting, stamping, sorting, and delivering mail throughout the school. If you are new to Carrillo, check out the official street signs in each hallway, look for the personalized classroom mail boxes in each class room, and see if you can spot our uniformed mail carriers at Friday Flag Salutes. Parents are welcome and encouraged to write letters to their children! Addresses and post cards are available on the mail carrier’s clipboards. Help us continue our tradition of processing over 5,000 pieces of mail each year!

By: Principal Fred Wise Over the summer I read a very short book with that exact title, "How Full is Your Bucket?" It was given to me by a very good friend who remembered conversations we used to have about the "drain and fill theory" we made up while working together at another school. We used to talk about it on the way to work in our carpool, and basically we agreed that in order to keep doing an effective job, one needed to have at least an equal amount of good "feeding" energy coming in as the expenditure of hard work energy going out. "How Full Is Your Bucket" is a great little book that I highly recommend, which puts forth a very similar theory in a very intriguing way. It's a quick read, definitely worth the time. Although professional speaker Jim Cathcart is not the author of the "Bucket" book, a story he uses will provide you with a bit of insight into the underlying message, which basically is that our lives greatly impact those with whom we make contact everyday. Here's Jim's story: During a layover at the Atlanta airport, Jim found time for a snack in the food court. All the tables were filled and several passengers, himself included, stood in any available space to eat. As he ate, Jim noticed a busboy slowly working his way through the crowded area. His shoulders were curled forward and he kept his head down. He moved from table to table, barely making eye contact with anyone as he cleared away the dirty dishes. He interacted with no one, and no one was speaking to him as he moved in an almost invisible fashion through the crowd. The sight of this young man filled Jim with an overwhelming sadness. He knew there had to be could do or say to reach out to this young man. something he When Jim finished his food and disposed of his trash, he approached the busboy. "What you are doing here sure is important," he said. "Huh?" the busboy replied. "If you weren't doing what you are doing, it wouldn't be five minutes before there was trash everywhere and people would stop coming in here," Jim said. "What you are doing is important, and I just wanted to say thanks for doing it." The busboy began to smile. His posture became more erect and he began to make eye contact with those around him. A few choice words had served as a reminder that he was worth more than he had realized. The "Bucket" book puts forth the same idea in a way that will draw you in, and it provides examples and data regarding the benefits of positive interaction with people throughout the day. To sum it up, all interactions either help fill or drain out each of our personal "buckets". The importance of maintaining one's own as well as those around us in "full-bucket status" is detailed using examples which extend even into the health aspects of our lives. Specificity and personalization are major components in the bucket theory, and through reading the book it becomes easy to see how simple it is to do. "How Full Is Your Bucket?" fits the philosophy upon which Carrillo was founded nine years ago, and once you pick it up I guarantee you will see how it applies at our school. In addition, I can tell you that it will make you much more aware of both the way you interact with your children as well as other adults in your life. Give it a try, it's worth it! First Trimester Page 3 TRAFFIC FLOW FOR SAFETY AT CARRILLO LET’S KEEP OUR PARKING LOT SAFE & SANE! "WARNING: Carlsbad installed NO STOPPING signs on the curb by the school, on Poinsettia. They have been giving tickets, so please do not stop or park in that lane. WARNING: Carlsbad Police know that some illegal turns from the outside lane, into the parking lot, are happening in the afternoon – don’t do it! Not safe, big ticket & bad driving! WARNING: Only park in marked stalls in the parking lot! Don’t “invent” parking spaces – it makes everyone else’s drive a lot harder! We want you to be able to drop off and pick up your child in a safe and calm setting, and we are working with you to make that possible. You may have noticed that we have painted areas, cones strategically located at various locations, safety patrol, and adults helping in the parking lot. Do YOUR part! Here’s the plan: • Drop off for students starts at 8:15. • In the morning, drop off and go. Please make plans in advance so drop off is done quickly and the rest of the cars can get to the red curb. • Never gridlock the intersection at the parking lot entrance! If there is no space in the driveway, just wait through the left turn arrow cycle. • If you wish to drive through to pick up your child, stay in line and pull ahead as space becomes available. Remain in your car when you get to the red pick up curb, and only pick up your child when you are right next to the curb AND past the office front door. • It will really help if your child is PAYING ATTENTION AND LOOKING FOR YOU while waiting to be picked up. Please emphasize this with your child! • The second lane of traffic (away from the curb) must be kept moving, and no pick-ups are allowed in that lane. • If you are lined up to pick up, but the line is long and you are blocking parking spaces, please move if someone wants to leave the parking space. Just back up or pull forward a bit. • The bus area is closed to all traffic, including KOC parents, during bus loading. Yes, we still do have two special education buses, and the law says no vehicles may be moving during drop off or loading. After 3:30 KOC parents may go in to pick up. If you do not use KOC, please do not go into the bus/KOC area. • If your child does not come after you have been at the curb for a minute or so, we may ask you to move to a parking spot or cycle back through by using the middle lane (where the cones are blocking). Please cooperate, as we must keep traffic moving. • When leaving the parking lot after school, watch for the crossing guards, and always monitor what the guards are doing when you are leaving the parking lot or at the corner of Melrose and Poinsettia. • Cross with kids in the crosswalk, and hold hands with kids whenever you are in the parking lot together. • Remember, Wednesdays are early release day, pick up one hour earlier. IDEA: LEO CARRILLO RANCH PARKING lot is a great alternative to picking up in our parking lot. Closed Mondays, but open and ready for you Tuesday – Friday afternoons. Stay calm, go to the Ranch! IDEA: You may also drop off kids in the morning by the community pool on Carrillo Way, to walk down on the trail, outside the wall. You can do this everyday! Just think, you never have to come into the parking lot at school! It’s amazing! First Trimester Page 4 PARKING LOT SAFETY... Cont’d IDEA: Walk to school, ride a bike, at least do a carpool! TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK! We are a team here, so how about YOU volunteering to help out in the parking lot? We will give you your own ORANGE VEST and WHISTLE, and you can join the few, the brave, who work to keep the parking lot safe. Please let our office know if you can help, even one day a week. Thanks! NEW WEBSITE? What happened to our website? Yes, some of you know, and you’re right, the district standardized all schools, using the same website system. Yes, we did lose some of our functions from last year, like opt-in emails, BUT, we are working to figure out how to do it with our new website. The district knows that what we had before had that capability, so they also want to help us get it back. Without opt-in emails, we have to do more of our phone messages to keep you up to speed, so thanks in advance for your patience with those. We have to work with you to stay informed, and right now, our phone call system is a pretty good option. We will try to keep messages brief, promise! STAR TESTING - GOOD JOB, CARRILLO! We are beginning to get our school STAR score results, and the news is good! Once again, your children and our teachers achieved a very good score – 907! This score is a reflection of the hard work everyone affiliated with our school contributes, it does, as they say, “Take a village” to educate a child. Test scores are not the only reflection of the growth achieved at our school… we do spend time working on character education, physical education, and of course, the arts, but the STAR test does provide one measure of achievement, to be sure. In addition, our writing scores in 4th grade and our science scores in 5th grade were extremely high, two more indicators of well-rounded achievement. Congratulations and thanks for everyone’s hard work, especially our students!! SCHOOL ATTENDANCE You may not know this but Carrillo School boasts the best attendance record of all the elementary schools in the San Marcos Unified School District, and this is thanks to our conscientious parents and students. We appreciate your calls before school to let us know if your child will be out for the day. Our attendance line number is (760) 290-2929. If your family is running late, please check in at the office for a tardy slip before sending children to classrooms. Last but not least, please don’t forget the doctor’s note regarding medical or dental appointments that occur before your child comes to school. Thanks again for taking your child’s attendance seriously as we continue to beat our record from last year and remain #1 in the district. First Trimester Page 5 SCHOOL BEGINS FOR PARENTS TOO!!! Although children actually sit in classrooms, September signals a “Back to School” of sorts for parents also. Many of us have to race around buying new clothes our children have outgrown not to mention school supplies. Thursday Folders also present a plethora of reading homework for parents while children stand by saying “What about this and what about that?” “I need to turn this in tomorrow!” “Please sign this now!” Or my favorite…”Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mother or dad, dad, dad, dad, daddy, dad, hey dad, (while gently pulling at your leg.) Since it’s also “Back to School “ for parents we thought you may be interested in taking a short test in preparation for the upcoming year. It’s simple and there will be no blood samples drawn or scores to report to newspapers. However this is a very important assessment, as it will be used to remind us all, of the most important thing in our lives….. our children. Cramming for this exam will do no good, however, the following questions will help you prepare for the years ahead. Please study these questions thoroughly to determine the response you will give to each one. Remember, you will be answering under oath. 1. Yes or No: Have you (since becoming a parent) been convicted of seriously believing that you have an amazing capacity to positively or negatively influence the lives of your children? 2. Yes or No: Have you ever pleaded “guilty” to continuing to believe we must remain patient and trust that with our proper guidance, children will eventually “get it”? 3. Yes or No: Have you every admitted that each small thing you do with your child, each interaction you have with his/her teacher, or each communication you have with any member of our Carrillo team is important and really matters? 4. Yes or No: Have you ever realized that children learn by observing your actions rather than hearing your words? 5. Yes or No: Have you overtly and/or covertly made a sincere and ongoing effort to act in a manner that demonstrates respect for your children? 6. Yes or No: Can you enter a plea of “no contest” to a belief that parenting is actually the most important way we can change the world for the better, one person at a time? If you could answer “Yes” to each of the previous items you should have no problem achieving a perfect score. However, since none of us is quite perfect, perhaps you had to think a bit about one or more of the questions. If so, then you still achieve a perfect score because taking the time to reflect on our role as parents is (after all) “the point”. In fact, all that is necessary to guarantee a top score on this test is to make a resolve right now that you will continue to take time to reflect on your role and work to achieve it to the best of your ability…for our children’s sake. THANK YOU TO ALL OUR WONDERFULLY INVOLVED PARENTS WHO ATTENDED BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT. WE APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENDANCE AND PARTICPATION!!!! First Trimester Page 6 CARRILLO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL The primary elections for Student Council were held at Carrillo mirroring the process employed by our government in the current presidential election. Many of our 4th and 5th grade students participated enthusiastically as you can see from the list below.

We are also pleased to announce that our new Student Council Advisors this year are Mr. Hurlbert & Mrs. Lancon. Gabe Torres Sean Ginzler CARRILLO KIDS GARDEN Did you know Carrillo has its very own garden? What began as a memorial tribute to the victims of September 11th with 60 Daffodil bulbs has become the Carrillo Kids Garden, with over 20 rose bushes, a raised bed, herb pots, a green house, potting bench, composter, drip irrigation, and seating areas. We use reclaimed water in the garden so your child may be starting a plant from seed and then bringing it home to continue watching it grow in your own garden. We are hoping to install an outdoor sink which has already been purchased and add a lattice shade structure for our potting area this year. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Mrs. Cummings! First Trimester Page 8 CALLING ALL READERS! By: Deborah Sherwood Well, I couldn’t be happier. I’m back for my 8th school year at Carrillo! I have relocated and literally “run” into the Reading Lab! The fact that I have been lucky enough to hold two positions that impact your children the most has not escaped me and I intend to put as much time, energy and excitement into promoting the importance of reading as I did with Physical Education! While being fit is certainly essential to the quality and length of our lives, reading is equally important. We couldn’t go a day without “exercising” our reading skills. For example, we read newspapers, recipes, driving directions, street signs, bills, memos from our bosses or coworkers, AND hopefully most of us save some spare moments to read for enjoyment! Exercising our minds through reading is an essential daily task for both the young and the old! I am here to remind you that we as parents are the single most important influence on our children’s lives and modeling good reading habits will help send the message that reading is a necessary and essential skill to be developed. As I am sure you have heard (maybe you have even READ) many times before- Reading to your child is the easiest way to school success. Research has repeatedly proven that children who are read aloud to by parents get a head start in language and literacy skills and go to school better prepared. Equally important is the fact that reading with and to your child fosters a lifelong love of books and reading! The author of the bestseller, “The Read Aloud Handbook” says it best when he states, “Students who read the most, read the best, achieve the most and stay in school the longest.” And I must say, I have never heard a parent say that they don’t wish success for their child! So get busy and exercise your right to read! READ ON! PEACOCKS ARE ALIVE AND WELL AT CARRILLO As usual, our neighborhood peacocks are very comfortable roaming the campus. With everyone gone during the summer months they have come to think of Carrillo as “their” school and appear in great numbers daily. We are proud of our students who treat them respectfully while enjoying the opportunity to observe these beautiful creatures “up close”.

First Trimester Page 14 A NOTE FROM THE PTO PRESIDENT Happy New School Year To Everyone! I hope you had a relaxing extended summer and find yourself ready for another great year. It is my pleasure to welcome many, many new families to Carrillo. Due to the opening of Jolie Ann School and the recent boundary changes, our Carrillo Community consists of 25% new families. Our goal this year is to incorporate these new families into our Carrillo Family. We plan on several family events this year, some old (ice cream social, pancake breakfast) and some new (father/daughter dance, mother/son ????) in hopes of creating a single community of families. As parents of Carrillo students, you are all part of our Carrillo family. I hope that you will make the choice to participate in our PTO activities this year. The PTO is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to support the students by engaging in fundraising projects, supporting the various student enrichment activities, providing a forum for parent, teacher, and student interaction through community events, and promoting open communications between parents, teachers, Carrillo and the community. The PTO page of our school website, www.carrilloelementary.org is full of information that you need to know. We have calendars, newsletters, forms, minutes from meetings, upcoming events, and a summary of our scheduled fundraiser for this year. The PTO is not just about making and spending money, it is also about encouraging that growing sense of family at Carrillo. This year we are looking to make your time at Carrillo as enjoyable and informative as possible. I encourage all Carrillo parents with an interest in supporting the work of the PTO to contact me at the PTO desk, 290-2919 or by e-mail at [email protected] There are volunteer opportunities of all sizes and descriptions that could benefit from your talents. I look forward to seeing you again or meeting you for the first time. Janet McClean PTO President CARRILLO’S HOSPITALITY TEAM Getting back to school is always a busy time for the hospitality team! Welcoming the staff, students and families back to school is their top priority. They provided the staff with a continental breakfast on the first day of school along with dinner at both Back to School Nights. On Friday, Sept 5th they hosted a Welcome Breakfast giving parents the opportunity to mingle, meet and catch up after an extended summer. So many families contributed to these events and without their help it would have been impossible to pull everything off. Thank you to all of you who helped with these events helping to kick off another great school year! A special thanks to all of the little artists who created the beautiful signs posted on the first day of school! There are many more events that are coming up during the school year that we need volunteers for. The annual staff cookie exchange is just around the corner and baking elves are always needed. Anyone who would like to be involved with this hospitality committee please contact Sharon Spencer or Kami Chergosky at (760) 290-2919. First Trimester Page 15 TREASURER’S REPORT This year, due to the California state budget cuts, Carrillo Elementary has had to make some changes but not at the expense of our students. In order to continue to be a top ranked elementary school in California, the PTO has committed to raise $125,000 to fund even more programs than in previous years. This is due to the fact that the district cannot guarantee certain designated funds to the school as they did in the past. The PTO is made up of all Carrillo Elementary families. It is our collective responsibility to continue to provide a well-rounded education for our children. The exceptional performance of our school is attributable to both the staff and the quality of the programs we have been able to provide our children. The money raised through the PTO helps fund music, computer, art, science and math resources, physical education, reading lab, library and assembly programs. In addition, the PTO provides for basic expenditures such as textbooks, teacher copies, and essential school supplies. This year, changes to the budget due to district spending cuts and other program needs include increased funding for PE, computer lab, reading lab and music program costs of an additional $25,000 by the PTO. In order to compensate for those increases, funding for assemblies, the 5th grade annual event and other program supplies had to be cut by $15,000. Last year, YOU the PTO community raised $143,000, all of which went directly back into the school. This year, the PTO has committed to contribute $125,000 towards school programs and supplies. Without this commitment from the PTO many of these programs would be scaled back, or even eliminated. It is very important for the parent community to raise these funds in order to keep the level of quality programs currently available at Carrillo. Together, we have a lot to accomplish this year. $125,000 may sound like a lot of money, but it equates to only $150 per child/year, or $.81 per child/school day! Let’s work together to make this happen for our children, they deserve it. Remember, all monetary donations to Carrillo Parent Teacher Organization are tax deductible! PARKING SPACE RAFFLE AND SILENT BID Thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets for a chance to win one of the 2 coveted reserved parking spaces for the first half of the year. Congratulations to the Selstad family and the Maddy family who will be the proud owners of these spaces from 9/22/08 through 2/4/09 The 3rd reserved parking space went to the highest bidder of the silent auction. The silent bids were placed and the winner of this parking space for the first half of the year (9/22/08 – 2/4/09) is the Creamer family. Congratulations to all of the winners! Everyone will get to try their luck again in January for the second half of the year. First Trimester Page 16 CARRILLO ELEMENTARY FUNDRAISING 2008/09 This year our PTO budget is $125,000… yes, that’s right… $125,000! What is supported by the funds we raise? The budget includes funding the following programs: Music Program - $12,000+ Computer Lab - $19,000+ PE, Playground Equipment, and Running Program - $18,500 Arts Program & Supplies - $2,500 Reading Lab - $14,000 Science and Math Resource Program - $9,000 Peace Patrol and Safety Program - $10,000+ Library - $8,000+ Assemblies - $5,000 School supplies, textbooks, and teacher support - $20,000+ The PTO has scheduled the following fundraisers for this school year, and the plan is to fund the entire $125,000 with these fundraisers. However, we cannot do it without the support of the entire PTO. Remember, PTO stands for “Parent – Teacher – Organization” so that means you! Pledge Drive – Money, money, money. Yes we start the year with our annual Pledge Drive. The purpose of using the pledge drive is to minimize door-to-door fundraising, and to insure that 100% goes to our school. Our goal is 100% participation. Every pledge amount makes a difference. Everybody counts and every dollar counts. Can we count on you? Please see the Forms site on the PTO page for more information on our “Easy Pledge Package” and our Pledge Form. Gift Wrap – Our annual gift wrap fundraiser will begin in October. This year we are using Sally Foster as our gift wrap supplier. If you would like to preview the available products, please visit their website at www.sallyfoster.com Jog–a–thon – In March we will be holding our Annual Jog-a-thon. This is a really fun event for the students. The students solicit pledges for running the event. With parents permission, the children run a course that includes that local canyon trails. Running the trails is not an option for Kindergarteners, but they get to run the track to earn their pledge $$$. It is an amazing event that supports Carrillo’s running and PE programs. Spring Tea – April brings our fourth annual Spring Tea. It’s ladies time for an afternoon out! The Spring Tea is held at the beautiful Leo Carrillo Ranch. It includes table “hosts”, that decorate their own table in any way they like. Entertainment includes a fashion show, raffle prizes, and a silent auction. This is always a wonderful event and one we look forward to each year. We also have several other fundraisers throughout the year including a raffle for parking spot, teacher’s gift-of-time auction, dine-out’s at local restaurants, and several passive fundraising efforts. Please see more about Passive Fundraising on our Passive Fundraising page. First Trimester Page 17 CARRILLO SPIRITWEAR This year we are so excited to announce an enhancement to the SpiritWear program.
