 Celebrate Pi Day (3/14) the @NASA Way with @NASAJPL_Edu and their 3rd Annual Pi Day Problem Set #STEM Pi Day, the informal holiday beloved by math enthusiasts – and even by the math averse – is almost here! March 14 marks the yearly celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). More than just a number for mathematicians, pi has all sorts of applications in the real world, including on missions developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and it’s a great time to have fun and celebrate the M in STEM. For the third year, JPL has created a Pi Day problem set, which gives students a chance to put their pi skills to the test to solve some of the same problems NASA scientists and engineers do. The set of four illustrated math problems are compiled into a graphic (as well as classroom handouts) designed for students in grade 4 through high school – but fun for all! On March 16, the answers to all four problems and the steps needed to find those answers will be released in a companion infographic on the Pi Day challenge activity page. To see a compilation of all 12 Pi Day challenge questions optimized for mobile devices and screen readers, visit: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/nasapidaychallenge Head on over to the Teachable Moments blog to read more about pi and Pi Day at NASA and learn how you can share your Pi Day ideas with us!

This is an opportunity to become an integral member of our organization of parents, teachers and community members as we strive to enhance our children’s experience here at Eagle Rock Elementary. Many working parents feel that they cannot be involved in the business and activities of the PTA because they cannot come to every meeting or be on campus during the day; however, the possibilities in ways you can participate are nearly limitless. The privilege of nominating from the floor is extended to members of the association who are present, whose dues are paid, and who have been members of the association for at least 30 days. A qualified member may nominate his or her self and nominations do not require a second, only the nominee’s consent. You can make a difference in our school community so consider a leadership role in your Eagle Rock Elementary PTA!

Thank you in advance for your continued support!    Your child's personal information is being released: Voice your concerns NOW #PTA4Kids @CaliforniaPTA
(via [email protected] February 17, 2016) February federal court ruling is requiring the California Department of Education to release all personal data -- even including names and Social Security numbers -- on general and special education students since Jan. 1, 2008: more than 10 million students including your child's information. Take action now to voice your objection to releasing your child's personal information! What you can do right now: Voice your objection Follow these step-by-step instructions to complete the Objection to Disclosure of Student Information and Records: 1. Download the form -- available in English and Spanish: 2. Mail the completed form, one for each student, exactly as required to: United State District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller c/o Clerk of the Court Robert T. Matsui United States Courthouse 501 I Street, Room 4-200 Sacramento, CA 95814 Attn: Document Filed Under Seal. 3. Mail a copy to the California Department of Education at: California Department of Education 1430 N Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Attn: State Superintendent Tom Torlakson, Morgan Hill Court Ruling. The deadline to submit objection forms and make your voice heard is April 1, so don’t delay – get yours in the mail to the court and CDE today! Do not fax or email the form, and do not phone or message – only hard-copy forms will be accepted. WHAT CALIFORNIA STATE PTA IS DOING It’s hard to fathom that a judge would allow such an overexposure of children’s information. While California State PTA is not part of the court ruling, we are exploring other avenues to delay, reduce or possibly reverse the release of so much of our children’s personal information. California State PTA has a long history of protecting and upholding students’ privacy rights, and today is no different. Read our media statement, and we'll keep you updated as we learn more. MORE INFORMATION In April 2012, the Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association and the Concerned Parent Association filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Education_ (CDE) alleging non-compliance by local education agencies with special education laws. The suit also alleges the CDE fails to monitor, investigate and correct such non-compliance in accordance with the law. While this lawsuit called for students’ general demographic information, a federal court has just ruled that CDE must release all data -- even including names and Social Security numbers -- it has collected on general and special education students since Jan. 1, 2008 – more than 10 million students. Find out more from the CDE. Read the California Department of Education's media statement. |
