Dear Brahma Parents,
I’d like to take a few minutes to inform you about an important parent meeting that will take place in January.
In my last newsletter, I included a few links about the California Common Core State Standards, (CCCSS). Many of you have heard about the new standards and know a bit about how they will affect the way we educated students across the nation.
In order to bring everyone up to speed on our progress of CCCSS implementation, we will be holding a parent informational meeting in our theater on January 8, 2014 at 7:00 pm. We’d like to give you an overview on the Common Core Standards as well as address any questions you may have.
Please take a moment to review the information below. If you have any questions you’d like addressed, click on the last link. This is a google form that will allow you to submit questions prior to the parent informational meeting.
Happy Holidays,
Catherine Real,
Principal,
Diamond Bar High School
