Have a Seat?
We are desperately looking for chairs for the art room? If any one works for a business with any extra chairs or knows where we can find some for our budding artists please email Lisa Fell at lisa.fell@washingtonschoolfoundation.org
Thurs, Sept 9: PTO Meeting - 7:00pm - Get Involved!
If you haven’t already, we encourage you to join the Washington community and get involved in the PTO right away in order to feel more like a part of Washington and to help our students. Almost everyone volunteers in some way. There will be sign-ups at the school events or you can reply to this email for more information. Thank you!
We Need a Music Teacher
If you know someone or are yourself a music teacher that would be interested in teaching our kids music this school year, please email Lisa Fell at lisa.fell@washingtonschoolfoundation.org The music teacher that was lined up for this year just took another job that could pay her benefits so we need to get a great replacement ASAP. Thank you!
Important Info Requested by the Office
The office will need an updated Emergency Card and the application for free and Reduced Lunches from all families, regardless of whether or not you would qualify. This application helps determine whether our school could qualify for Title 1 funding, which would mean about $80,000 for our school! These two forms will come home with your student on the first day of school.
SBSD eNews: Monday, Aug. 23: Measure Q2010 Fact Sheet
On Tuesday, November 2, 2010, voters in the Santa Barbara Secondary School District will be asked to pass, with the approval of fifty-five percent of the electorate, a $75,000,000 general obligation bond for the sole purpose of modernizing, renovating, installing, updating, replacing, and repairing facilities, infrastructures, and grounds at Goleta Valley Junior High, La Colina Junior High, La Cumbre Junior High, Open Alternative Middle, Santa Barbara Charter Middle, Santa Barbara Junior High, Dos Pueblos High, La Cuesta Continuation High, San Marcos High, and Santa Barbara High schools.
Since the state budget provides the district with only limited general maintenance funds, the school districts’ board of education decided to put a bond on the November ballot because a bond is the only way to fund facilities improvements at the level of investment required to repair and upgrade aging facilities.
Based on the estimated assessed valuations available at the time of the filing of the bond statement, it is anticipated that this bond will not increase the current tax rate. This will happen because the Measure Q bond will phase in as our school district’s existing bond is set to expire. The tax rate currently in place is $12.48 per $100,000 assessed valuation. These estimated tax rates are based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property in the school district, not on the property’s market value.
To read more, go to the Measure Q2010 Fact Sheet (pdf) on the districts' website.
