Orgullo y éxito de Ivanhoe

Por: Dr. Jesús González, Director de la Escuela Primaria Ivanhoe

A medida que nos acercamos al final del año escolar 2022-2023, esperamos continuar creando oportunidades para que todos los estudiantes participen en nuevas experiencias.

Estas nuevas y emocionantes experiencias se han estado sucediendo durante todo el año en varios espacios; en los salones de clase, en las excursiones de los estudiantes, durante el programa extracurricular Extend Learning Opportunity, el programa extracurricular HEART, entre otros. Reconocemos que al proporcionar actividades valiosas y bien estructuradas, los estudiantes desarrollarán el conocimiento y las habilidades necesarias para convertirse en Trailblazers exitosos.

Esto significa que todos los estudiantes podrán hacer transiciones exitosas a la Escuela Intermedia Valley Oak y la Escuela Secundaria Golden West. Como siempre, le pedimos su continuo apoyo, asociación y participación en la educación de su hijo, ya que juntos podemos construir mejor la experiencia educativa duradera que fortalecerá las habilidades necesarias tanto para la universidad como para la carrera.

El personal de la Primaria Ivanhoe se enorgullece del éxito de sus alumnos actuales y anteriores, ya que muchos alumnos se convierten en graduados destacados de alto rendimiento en Golden West. Este alto logro académico fue posible gracias al arduo trabajo y la colaboración entre el estudiante, las familias y los miembros del personal de la escuela primaria Ivanhoe. Es por este orgullo que los maestros y compañeros del personal decidieron recaudar dinero y otorgar a tres ex alumnos de Ivanhoe que se graduaron este año de Golden West una beca de $250 dólares para apoyar sus gastos de educación universitaria.

Para seleccionar a los tres ganadores, la primaria Ivanhoe se asoció con Golden West y nos proporcionaron los nombres y la información de 22 ex alumnos de Ivanhoe que son todos estudiantes del último año con grandes méritos. Un comité de maestros de Ivanhoe tomó la iniciativa y comenzó el proceso de selección estableciendo los criterios para identificar a los tres beneficiarios de las becas. Después de mucho trabajo y deliberación, el comité de maestros seleccionó a los siguientes tres ex alumnos de Ivanhoe para recibir una beca de $250:

  • Alyssa Aceves con el objetivo profesional de convertirse en psicóloga clínica,
  • Araceli Velasco con el objetivo profesional de ser ingeniera, y
  • Maria Rivas-Gonzalez con el objetivo profesional de convertirse en maestra de español de secundaria.

¡Es apropiado pedirle a nuestra maravillosa comunidad de Ivanhoe que nos ayude a felicitar a estos fantásticos jóvenes estudiantes por su excelencia académica y esfuerzos educativos!

Es este cumplimiento lo que impulsa a muchos ex alumnos de Ivanhoe a regresar a su comunidad local como maestros, miembros del personal y otros trabajos de Ivanhoe para retribuir a esta área. Es este orgullo lo que hace que la Primaria Ivanhoe sea una joya de la comunidad escolar y que nuestros estudiantes sean algunos de los estudiantes más trabajadores del distrito. Recientemente, la escuela primaria Ivanhoe fue destacada como una de las tres escuelas primarias, de las 27 escuelas primarias de nuestro distrito, que cumplió con ciertos criterios de crecimiento académico establecidos por las medidas del Departamento de Educación de California.

Este es un reconocimiento positivo por parte de nuestro distrito escolar que destaca a nuestros maestros y todo el personal que hacen todo lo posible para brindar la mejor experiencia educativa a nuestros estudiantes. Reconocemos que todavía tenemos trabajo por hacer para garantizar que todos los estudiantes estén preparados para la escuela secundaria, sin embargo, el crecimiento en el rendimiento académico está ocurriendo en nuestra escuela y por eso nos enorgullecemos de ser un Caballero de Ivanhoe.

Ivanhoe Pride and Success

By: Dr. Jesus Gonzalez, Ivanhoe Elementary School Principal 

As we near the end of the 2022-2023 school year, we look forward to continuing to build opportunities for all students to participate in new experiences. 

These new and exciting experiences have been happening all year long in various spaces; in the classrooms, on student field trips, during the Extend Learning Opportunity Program after school, the HEART after school program, among others. We recognize that by providing valuable, well-structured activities, students will build the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful Trailblazers. 

This means all students will be able to make successful transitions into Valley Oak Middle School and Golden West High School. As always, we ask for your continued support, partnership, and involvement in your child’s education, as together we can best build the lasting educational experience that will strengthen the necessary skills for both college and career. 

The Ivanhoe Elementary staff prides itself on the success of its current and former students as many students become high achieving standout graduates at Golden West. This high academic attainment was possible because of the hard work and partnership between the student, families, and Ivanhoe Elementary staff members. It is because of this pride that teachers and fellow staff members decided to raise money and award three former Ivanhoe alumnus graduating this year from Golden West with a $250 dollar scholarship to support their education college expenses. 

To select the three winners, Ivanhoe Elementary partnered with Golden West and we were provided the names and information of 22 former Ivanhoe students who are all highly-deserving Seniors. A committee of Ivanhoe teachers took the lead and began the selection process by setting the criteria for identifying the three scholarship recipients. After much work and deliberation, the teacher committee selected the following three former Ivanhoe students to receive a $250 scholarship:

Alyssa Aceves with the career goal of becoming a clinical psychologist, 

Araceli Velasco with the career goal of becoming an engineer, and 

Maria Rivas-Gonzalez with the career goal of becoming a High School Spanish teacher. 

It is fitting to ask our wonderful Ivanhoe community to help us in congratulating these fantastic young students in their academic excellence and educational endeavors!

It is this fulfillment that drives many former Ivanhoe students to return to their hometown community as Ivanhoe teachers, staff members and other jobs to give back to this area. It is this pride that continues to make Ivanhoe Elementary a gem of a school community and our students some of the hardest working students in the district. Recently, Ivanhoe Elementary school was highlighted as one of three elementary schools, out of the 27 elementary schools in our district, that met certain academic growth criteria set under the California Department of Education measures. 

This is a positive recognition by our school district that highlights our teachers and entire staff who go above and beyond to provide the best educational experience for our students. We acknowledge that we still have work to do to ensure that every student is high school ready, however, growth in academic achievement is happening at our school and for that we take great pride in being an Ivanhoe Knight!

Rincón del Director: Participación familiar en la escuela primaria Ivanhoe

Dr. Gonzalez is the principal of Ivanhoe K-8 School.

Por el Dr. Jesus González, Director de la Escuela Primaria Ivanhoe

Una pieza importante para el éxito de un estudiante es la asociación que se forja entre el personal de la escuela y las familias. La idea es que esta asociación centre su energía en apoyar las iniciativas escolares y las estructuras escolares que fomentan el éxito de todos los estudiantes. El éxito se define principalmente como que los estudiantes se sientan seguros en la escuela y se preocupen por su bienestar social y emocional mientras aumentan los resultados de aprendizaje académico de los estudiantes en todas las áreas de contenido. Esta asociación se basa en una comunicación clara y confianza entre ambos grupos, y es más eficaz cuando las conversaciones se centran en el estudiante. Siempre se alienta a las familias de Ivanhoe a conectarse con los miembros del personal de Ivanhoe para discutir ideas que sirvan mejor a nuestros estudiantes. Esto se puede lograr si las familias se familiarizan más con los eventos y actividades de la escuela que aumentan la participación familiar.

Principal’s Corner: Family Involvement at Ivanhoe Elementary

By Dr. Jesus Gonzalez, Ivanhoe K-8 Principal

An important piece to a student’s success is the partnership forged between the school staff and families. The idea is that this partnership will focus its energy on supporting school initiatives and school structures that foster success for all students. Success being defined primarily as students feeling safe at school and caring for their social emotional well-being while increasing students’ academic learning outcomes in all content areas. This partnership is built on clear communication and trust between both groups, and is most effective when conversations are student centered. The Ivanhoe families are always encouraged to connect with Ivanhoe staff members to discuss ideas that will best serve our students. This can be accomplished by families becoming more familiar with the school’s events and activities that increase family involvement.

Since the restrictions that were in place for COVID 19 have been lifted, Ivanhoe Elementary has returned to holding traditional events as well as new ones. So far, we have held many events to strengthen the school and community connection. We started the year with our Back-to-School Night in August where families and school staff were able to meet in-person to discuss the curriculum and instruction that would be taking during the school year. There have been monthly Principal chats that provide an opportunity for the Principal to hear directly from parents about ideas and/or concerns that impact student life on campus. In November Ivanhoe held the first trimester parent/teacher conferences which focused on student learning outcomes and methods of support parents can provide on a daily basis. Finally, the Fall Harvest Carnival saw over 500 attendees enjoy an evening with food and games that brought community members together.

This school year, there is an effort to revive the Ivanhoe Elementary Parent/Teacher Organization, simply known as PTO. The purpose of the organization is “to bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of the children and youth” as stated in PTO bylaws. It also emphasizes the development between educators and the general public that with united efforts to secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in each student’s academic, physical, mental, and social well-being. The PTO is open to all families and community members. The PTO welcome’s parents to attend their next meeting scheduled for February 22 at 4:00pm in the school’s cafeteria.

As the school year continues to unfold, we invite all families to become more involved in their child’s education by partnering with Ivanhoe Elementary at future school events and activities. Working together and bringing our individual talents will aid in our desire to have our students succeed in all aspects of their education. Remember that the staff at Ivanhoe work tirelessly to provide the best educational experience possible for each of our students and with family involvement that experience will increase. As always, please reach out to any staff member when you have questions and/or concerns. We hope to see you soon at our next event.

First Car Parade in Ivanhoe

By Mayra Becerra

Shelter in Place has created a new normal in our small community. This has led to quiet streets and children encouraged to stay inside or in their backyards. As the world shifts to a different level of normal our children have become restless. Some kids are missing their friends, their teachers, their recess, and their school environment.
