ALERT TO ALL STUDENTS:
Please be aware of Financial Aid scams. Last year a company called local
potential students and asked for a large fee to act as a Financial Aid Advisor. The FAFSA and Financial Aid advice is free!! Here are some warning signs of Financial Aid scams: • demands that you pay an up-front fee; • requests for credit card numbers or bank account information; • claims that a company can offer “exclusive” information; • promises to give you cash if you first pay a registration fee;
• offers for a lower interest rate if you pay a larger fee in advance; and,
• claims that the company will convert a loan into a grant — but only if you first pay a fee.
The Financial Aid Office will continue to offer weekly workshops which gives one on one assistance in completing Financial Aid applications. There are big changes in the 09-10 FAFSA. If you’d like helpful tips, come see us!!! It is also not too late to apply for Financial Aid for the 08-09 year. Attend a workshop in Manzanita 18-3 First February Workshop: Tues. Feb. 3rd between 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm. Please check our website for more February workshops.

“When do I need to re-new my Financial Aid for next year?” The Priority Financial Aid deadline to submit or postmark your FAFSA for 2009-2010 academic year is March 2nd. If you are required to do so, be sure to file your taxes early in order to submit accurate data!!

We remind everyone about our school policy regarding the celebration of
birthdays. If you’d like to recognize your child’s birthday, we welcome the distribution of a small item (either a pencil, bookmark, or sticker) to each
student in your child’s class. Due to nutritional considerations and potential
allergy concerns, we do not allow drinks or food treats as part of a birthday celebration. We also do not allow balloons. If you would like to share a “birthday token” with others in your child’s class, please check with his or her teacher 48 hours in advance. In addition, please remember to distribute birthday party invitations outside of school. Thank you for your consideration.
We are tremendously proud of our “Terrific Trojans!”

Jordan Porras was recently selected as the recipient of the “Every Student Succeeds” award offered through the Calaveras County Office of Education. He is in Mr. Jones’ fifth grade class and is an outstanding member of the 5th Grade Leadership and Basketball teams. Jordan moved to the area from Peru in the 3rd grade with his parents Martin and Jamie. (Jamie grew up here and attended Hazel Fischer and Bret Harte HS.) He has a little brother named Jefferson. Jordan loves to play pool and Math is his favorite subject. His biggest challenge in coming to America was learning English and he feels his biggest thrill or accomplishment so far has been making the honor roll at Michelson! He loves lasagna!!! Jordan was also chosen by his leadership peers and advisor to raise the American Flag during a special Veteran’s Day Ceremony. He commented on how proud he felt while doing it. One of the many reasons Jordan was chosen to receive the award was because of his positive attitude. He always has a sincere hug to offer as well as a mile-wide smile and warm and encouraging words. We’re proud of you, Jordan. Congratulations!!
