LASTCLASS Tehama eLearning Acad- emy (TeLA) is the new name replacing "eScholar Acad- emy." The school, under the leadership of Shannon Bar- row, principal, is a Tehama County Department of Edu- cation charter school serv- ing grades seven through 12. The 150 students reside pri- marily in Tehama County, though the school can serve students from the counties of Butte,Glenn,Trinity,Shasta, Plumas and Mendocino. Recently, TeLA received a six-year accreditation from the Western Associ- ation of Schools and Col- leges (WASC). The intent of the school is to use comput- ers and associated technol- ogy as instructional tools, al- lowing students to complete their online coursework from anywhere they can ac- cess the Internet. Additionally, a more tra- ditional approach of instruc- tion takes place at the Red Bluff location on Jackson Street, including Language Arts, Math, Science, per- sonalized tutoring, electives and California High School Exit Exam, or CAHSEE, preparation. This blended academic model, which in- cludes both online and on- site learning, allows each student to achieve a more complete education through a custom-designed model of instruction based on their own needs. This year, the CAHSEE tenth grade pass rates for Math and Language Arts were 74% and 83%, respec- tively, which reflects a 16% in- creasefromthepreviousyear. The2013county-widepass rates were 77% and 76%, re- spectively, as published by the California Department of Education, March 2013, CAHSEE Results.

The cafeteria was packed with standing room only. Students also partici- pated in the Go Far run/walk program, with a 5k run that was well attended. Metteer students worked hard to be ready for the run. Toward the end of the year the students bowled and golfed. First-graders through fifth took turns learning how to golf. A few of them are good enough to attend the golf academy dur- ing the summer. A six-week Bowling Club was held, with all students kindergarten through fifth, where they tried try their bowling skills at Lariat Bowl as a culminating event. In addition, the program offered a variety of clubs and enrichment opportuni- ties throughout the year. The most recent was the Oobleck Club. The students love this club. If you have never made oobleck, you're missing out. For the last Fun Friday, students are having a carni- val where the students can invite their whole families.
