Dear Farmdale Parents,

Welcome to the 2017-18 school year at Farmdale Elementary School. Im excited to begin the new
school year! My goal this school-year is to continue supporting the hard work students, teachers,
parents, and administrators have work so hard to accomplish. This school year we will continue to
support our students learning. All Farmdale staff is committed to ensuring our students are prepared to
succeed.

This past year teachers worked diligently on guiding students through the Programme of Inquiry,
California State Standards, administered Interim Assessments, the Smarter Balanced Assessments, and
Exhibition. We will continue to use our instructional data to drive our instruction.

In addition to highly expected mastery of the California State Standards, we will focus on continuing to
build our School-wide Positive Behavior Plan. Our School Wide Positive Behavior Plan will continue to
focus on the Farmdale Five and the Learner Profiles. We will boost routine incentives and motivation for
students who are incorporating the Learner Profiles in their daily school practice. We will also continue to
celebrate students academic success by holding quarterly Academic Student Success Assemblies. We
will also celebrate Perfect Attendance and students meeting the Districts 96% Attendance through our
monthly morning Attendance Awards Assemblies.

As a school community, we are committed to excellence and encourage active participation in our
students work. Please partner with us and ensure that your child

Attends school daily and arrives on time ready for the days learning experience. If students arrive
at 8:06 am they are already late.
Completes all homework assignments given by teachers
Reads daily for enjoyment and to develop literacy skills to the highest level
Shares daily experiences with you so you are aware of his/her school life
Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject

I am confident that the 2017- 2018 school year will be a great year! I look forward to working closely with
all Farmdale families.

Sincerely,

Oscar Vargas Sandoval

Principal
