Student Attendance Matters Even During Distance Learning
Posted by: thepinetree on 09/24/2020 11:31 AM
Angels Camp – How much does it matter that your student participates in distance learning? It matters, just as much as when students are on school campuses. The Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) is in full force even during the distance learning model and is focused on supporting families and connecting them with services that will help struggling students get back on a successful track. Established by law, SARB is a multi-disciplinary team with representation from schools, non-profit community organizations, and government agencies. Current SARB members include counselors from our elementary and high school districts, a parent advocate, advocates from The Resource Connection-Calaveras Crisis Center, service professionals from the County Health and Human Services Agency, the District Attorney’s Office, the County Office of Education, and local law enforcement.

Presidential Proclamation on Constitution Day, Citizenship Day, And Constitution Week, 2020
Posted by: thepinetree on 09/17/2020 09:48 PM
Washington, DC...In the summer of 1787, fifty-five delegates from throughout the fledgling United States gathered at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia, intent on erecting a government that would stand the test of time and protect hard‑won freedoms secured during the Revolutionary War. Two hundred and thirty-three years later, the document they produced — our Constitution — remains the bedrock of our system of government, one rooted in equality under the law and an unyielding commitment to individual liberty. On this day and during this week, we celebrate our great founding charter as an enduring beacon of freedom and strive toward active citizenship in service of its ideals.
