📅 Attendance Matters — Even a Few Missed Days Add Up...
📅 Attendance Matters — Even a Few Missed Days Add Up Most schools define chronic absenteeism as missing 10% of school days. But new research shows that learning can be impacted much earlier than that . Missing as little as 3–7% of school days can increase the risk of students falling behind in reading and math over time. What this means for families: 📘 Reading & writing skills are especially affected when students miss school without being there to engage and practice. ➕ Math learning builds day by day , so even excused absences can make it harder to catch up. 👧👦 As students get older, attendance becomes even more important for staying connected and successful at school. We know families face real challenges, and our goal is support, not blame . If attendance is hard right now, please reach out — we want to partner with you to remove barriers and help your child thrive. 🧡 Every day counts. Showing up consistently helps learning grow. 📅 La asistencia es importante: incluso unos pocos días de ausencia se acumulan La mayoría de las escuelas definen el absentismo crónico como faltar al 10 % de los días lectivos. Sin embargo, nuevas investigaciones demuestran que el aprendizaje puede verse afectado mucho antes. Faltar tan solo entre el 3 % y el 7 % de los días lectivos puede aumentar el riesgo de que los alumnos se queden atrás en lectura y matemáticas con el tiempo. Qué significa esto para las familias: 📘 Las habilidades de lectura y escritura se ven especialmente afectadas cuando los estudiantes faltan a la escuela y no están allí para participar y practicar. ➕ El aprendizaje de las matemáticas se construye día a día, por lo que incluso las ausencias justificadas pueden dificultar la recuperación del retraso. 👧👦 A medida que los estudiantes crecen, la asistencia se vuelve aún más importante para mantenerse conectados y tener éxito en la escuela. Sabemos que las familias se enfrentan a retos reales, y nuestro objetivo es apoyarles, no culparles . Si la asistencia es difícil en este momento, póngase en contacto con nosotros: queremos colaborar con usted para eliminar las barreras y ayudar a su hijo a prosperar. 🧡 Cada día cuenta. Asistir de forma constante ayuda a mejorar el aprendizaje. Traducción realizada con la versión gratuita del traductor DeepL.com

Solar Mobilization Project / Proyecto de Movilizació...
Dear GUSD Families, We are excited to share some great news! In the coming weeks, a few selected schools will begin work on a new solar energy project. This is an important step toward a greener, more sustainable future for our students and the entire Goleta Union School District. This project will help reduce energy costs, support environmental responsibility, and provide a real-world example of sustainability for our students. Construction will begin in late January and continue through the spring. Work will happen in phases, starting with site preparation and ending with the system activation taking place in the late Spring. Please note that all dates are tentative, as construction timelines can change. We will continue to keep you informed as the project progresses. Project timelines by school are as follows: Ellwood Elementary Site preparation and safety fencing will take place in late January through early February. Construction and electrical work will continue through March, with major work completed by late March. The solar system is expected to be turned on by April 21. Mountain View Elementary Site preparation and safety fencing will take place in late January through early February. Construction and electrical work will continue through March, with major work completed by mid-March. The solar system is expected to be turned on by April 17. Hollister Elementary Site preparation and safety fencing will take place in late January through early February. Construction and electrical work will continue through March, with major work completed by mid-March. The solar system is expected to be turned on by April 17. Student safety is our top priority. All construction workers will follow strict campus safety protocols, wear visible identification badges at all times, and maintain professional behavior. Temporary fencing and other safety measures will be in place throughout the project. We appreciate your patience and support as we take this exciting step forward. Thank you for being part of a school community that values innovation, sustainability, and a brighter future for our students. Additional updates will be shared as work continues.
