Kalifornsky Beach
K-Beach’s first annual Great Caribou Migration was a huge success. Students at K-Beach Elementary participated in a jog-a-thon where they ran laps around a 1/8 mile track. People were able to sponsor students to raise money for the P.T.A. As a school, over 6,000 laps were ran.
Mrs. Bagley, our gym teacher, challenged us to find out how many miles that equals. Several students worked hard to solve the problem, and Felicity Giver determined that together students ran 858 3/8 miles!
Many parents and community members participated, as well. Jumping Junction and the Orca Theatre donated student passes for the classes who ran the most laps per grade level. The funds will be used to support various student activities throughout the school year. A big thank you to K-Beach’s PTA and the community members who sponsored this event.
K-Beach music students are continuing to develop the skills it takes to read music.
K-1 students are developing their music skills by moving to music and singing; 2nd and 3rd graders are working on playing recorders; and our 4th – 6th grades continue to work on note reading skills by playing xylophones, drums, and singing. At home, for some quality family time, play your favorite music for each other. Listen together and discuss what you liked or disliked about it, and why.
Mrs. Bybee and Ms. Haywood took their classes to the Hay Maze at Solid Rock Bible Camp on Thursday, Oct. 16th to celebrate all of their students who made their independent reading goal for Quarter 1. Way to go!

There are two ways to order a transcript. Each way serves a different purpose.
If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! All transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way!
A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades… If you order your transcript when we are IN second semester,,, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment… that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

River City Academy
Effective today RCA’s school start and dismissal times have moved back ten minutes. The school start time is now 7:40 am and dismissal is at 2:15 pm. This time change is in better alignment with the bus schedules, which will not change. The buses will maintain their current morning and afternoon schedules.
Student progress reports were mailed home last week. RCA students were required to take their progress reports to each class, consult with their teachers to mark whether or not their progress in that class is proficient. A proficient class will be marked green, a class that is not caught up but working its way there will be marked yellow, while a stalled class, making no progress at all will be marked red. The same report carried to each class and marked will be sent to parents. Students were working hard and diligently the days before to tie up any loose ends so as to not be below proficient on their reports.
Student-led conferences will take place next week on Thursday and Friday. School will not be in session either day. During these conferences, students will lead parents through the process of and explain their progress in all classes, where they are proficient, where they are not proficient and why.
This will allow parents to know where their child is at academically and give the student a chance to vouch for themselves and their work. Open conference time will be available from 3:30-5:30 pm on Thursday for parents who do not have a student-led conference scheduled. Please call the office if you have any questions.
■ Oct. 29 – Minimum day, school will be dismissed 90 minutes early.
■ Oct. 30 & 31 – Student led conferences, no school for students.
Soldotna Elementary
Wednesday, October 29th, will be another Early Release Day. School will dismiss at 1:55 p.m., and bus schedules will be adjusted by 90 minutes. Mrs. Cannava will not have afternoon classes that day.

Thursday’s conferences will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue through 8:00 p.m. Friday’s conferences start at 8:15 a.m. until noon. Please be sure attend your conferences. And, yes, that means that there is NO SCHOOL on that Thursday or Friday which will give you lots of time to work on your costume!
Parent PACK Meeting will be Monday, November 3rd, 3:45, in the library. Childcare will be provided, and we really hope you will attend.
PAJAMA DAY is this Friday, October 24th. Please mark your calendar because the kids really do love this fun day. Special Note from Mrs. Cannava’s Pre-School class: Soldotna Elementary is thankful to Walmart and the Garcia and Bras families for supporting our school’s upcoming collaborative art piece.
Walmart has donated a $100 gift card to help purchase non-toxic acrylic paint. We still need more paint for this project. If you can donate, please deliver the non-toxic acrylic paint to Mrs. Cannava’s classroom. It comes in small plastic bottles and may be found at JoAnn’s or Fred Meyer as well. Thank you!
Congratulations to Reagan Gibbs, the winner of last week’s box top drawing. Remember to rip or tear out those box tops for education coupons which are found on many bags or boxes of food and non-food products. Each coupon provides the school with 10 cents which doesn’t seem like much, but if all our families are saving them, the amount adds up fast.
Calling Parents: We need one of you to be a Parent Communicator to join our PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) think-tank team. This volunteer’s duties would include representing parents at Team Meetings two Mondays per month at 3:45 to 4:45 p.m., and to inform our parent community of PBIS planning, activities, events, etc. If interested, please contact Mrs. Elizabeth Kvamme at eedwards@kpbsd.k12.ak.us or 260-5100. We look forward to adding a parent to our team!
There is now a “Parent Paws” container in the lobby. Staff members will be giving out paws to recognize SOEL parents. If you receive a paw, you should write your name and phone number on the paw and place it into the container. Once a month we will be drawing a paw from the container for a prize (coffee or gas card). We are excited to recognize the parents who do so much for our kids and our school!
