I have spent much of the summer listen- ing and learning about the district and the very special com- munity of Red Bluff. I have been impressed by the strong community ties to the schools and the deep inter- personal relationships between com- munity members. I feel very fortunate to be in a position to make a positive impact on student achievement here in Red Bluff and to prepare our students to be productive citizens in the 21st century. necessary 21st century skills. Our school board has made it clear that they value a rigorous acade- mic culture. Cur- rently we offer required courses Our school year will be ambitious as we are evaluating our curriculum, instruction and assessment to ensure that we are facilitating the develop- ment of necessary skills for students to be successful in today's world. Not only do our students need a strong foundation in core content areas like reading, writing, math, science, world languages and the arts, they also need to be able to communicate effectively, think critically and problem solve, work collaboratively with a team and to be creative and innovative. Our cur- riculum, instruction and the ways we assess competency must change in order to provide opportunities for stu- dents to develop those skills. We want our students to ask questions, investi- gate and analyze rather than be passive learners that memorize and recall facts that may or may not have relevance in today's world. Fortunately, we have a talented teaching staff that cares deeply about our students and are will- ing to collaborate to share their exper- tise in order for students to develop the that provide a well rounded education. Our graduation requirements challenge students to take additional course work in core content areas which better prepares them for college and careers. In addition, we have many Advanced Placement classes which allow stu- dents to accelerate their learning and possibly earn college credit while in high school. We also partner with Shasta College and students are able to register and take college level courses. to offer a variety of programs which provide different ways to learn content and those important 21st century skills. Some of the fabulous programs we offer include a robust performing arts program, a competitive athletic program, and a strong ROP program that with a state of the art auto and wood shop, a popular welding pro- gram, a school farm and a delicious culinary arts kitchen. We have a unique partnership with NASA and our students are able to participate in an Astrobiology Internship Program and a popular exchange program where students are able to study and travel abroad. There are many more exciting learning opportunities in our district and I will be sharing them with you throughout the year. I encourage Our district is fortunate to continue Lisa Escobar you to visit us and take a tour of our learning community. We are continuing to pro- vide a comprehensive edu- cational experience in the midst of a budget crisis. Do we do a good job? Yes. Can we do better? Of course. We are in our 3rd year of pro- gram improvement due to the number of students who still need to reach proficien- cy in the areas of reading, writing and math as mea- sured by the high school exit exam. Being on program improvement has resulted in a very ambitious school improvement plan which we will implement with fidelity this year. Our focus will remain on our students. Our goal will be to improve our capacity as educators so that all students reach proficiency and beyond. Every staff member is committed to providing a rich educational experi- ence for our students. We know we simply cannot do it alone. The educa- tion of our students is a shared respon- sibility amongst all community stake- holders. I encourage you to work with us in partnership as we move through these difficult financial times and through the challenges of program improvement. I will be holding monthly meetings to provide an opportunity for community members to share their thoughts, concerns, ideas and expertise with me regarding the education of our students. These will be held the first Monday of the month at 8 a.m. at the Tremont Cafe. The schedule will be posted on our web- site. Join me. would like to remind motorists of the importance of keep- ing kids safe by obeying the traffic laws, especially around schools. Garr, Red Bluff Area commander, said. "Some of those rules are pretty basic, but they are vital in keeping our kids safe." Lt. Todd CHP urges motorists to remember to keep kids safe As the school year begins, the California Highway Patrol Area CHP office said, "At the beginning of this new school year, I would like to make sure parents, kids and their fellow motorists keep in mind the basic safety rules that should be followed around our school," "School zones can become danger zones when motorists or parents practice unsafe driving behaviors such as double parking, speeding and blocking crosswalks during drop-off and pick-up times," Garr said. A common mistake is to believe that when the limit sign states "when children are present" that children must be within sight of the driver. This is not the case.

This means kids are in the area preparing to board or exit the bus. Parents can also help by taking time to teach safety and etiquette for young pedestrians. Parents can help children understand drivers will not always see them and how quick- ly cars can be moving. This knowledge can make a real difference in keeping kids safe. Parents can find many good resources on the internet that can assist in teaching kids good traffic safety skills. If the driver knows or should know children are present on the school grounds due to the time of day or presence of buses, etc., the speed limit is in effect. The CHP also offers free traffic safety presentations to community, church, civic, youth or business groups.
