W e have a framing team working only on the weekends and the weekends have not always been kind this winter. Please check out the progress of the greenhouse behind the school. Usted debería haber recibido una copia del Informe
del Desempeño Anual Escolar 2012-2013 (2013) en enero el
cual también incluía nuestro boletín de noticias regular.
Espero
que el reporte y el boletín de noticias le haya sido
informativo al igual que interesante. Por favor póngase en
contacto con migo si usted no recibió el reporte y le gustaría

servida por la escuela” como se determina en el
1993 Education Reform Legislation Act. El informe también
está
en el sitio web del distrito.
Signs have been posted around the play areas at school banning dog owners from exercising their dogs on the grassed areas. We had hoped dog owners would take the responsibility of picking up after their canines b ut that has not been the case the majority of the time. Over the Christmas break, Larry Moran of Los miembros de la junta directiva pasaron muchas
horas, sin pago, trabajando para mejorar las oportunidades
educacionales

para agradecerle a un miembro de la junta directiva por todos
sus esfuerzos.
La junta directiva recientemente eligió oficiales para
el 2014. Carrie Greenough fue reelegida para servir como
Presidenta y Louise Sisk fue elegida para servir como la
Vise-Presidenta.

El invernadero escolar esta lentamente acercándose.
Teníamos la esperanza de tenerlo funcionando este invierno

este invierno. Por favor revise el progreso del invernadero

Kurt H. Hilyard District Superintendent ELECCIÓN DE IMPUESTOS
PARENT CONFERENCES Cada dos años les pedimos a los votantes locales el
apoyo para poder compensar los impuestos necesarios para el
funcionamiento de una educación básica. Tendremos una
elección
el 11 de febrero del 2014 con el fin de llevar a cabo
esa necesidad. Nos damos cuenta de que la comunidad está
en mala situación económica como lo están los distritos
escolares del estado. Considerando que todos tienen que
apretar
sus cinturones, la Junta Directiva Escolar de Union
Gap aprobó un impuesto FIJO del dólar para la elección de
febrero.
Estamos pidiendo la misma cantidad del dólar qué
fue pedida hace dos años.
Solo un recordatorio, esta petición de impuestos del
11 de febrero sustituiría el que está por expirar a finales de
diciembre del 2014. Nuestra petición de la recaudación no es
una recaudación adicional o un impuesto local adicional de lo
que hemos estado recibiendo ya. La petición de la
recaudación
es un remplazo para la recaudación que expirara
en la misma cantidad FIJA del dólar. Por favor entre en
Just a reminder, the February 11th levy request, if approved, would replace the one expiring at the end of December 2014. Our levy request is not an add-‐on levy or an additional local tax from what we already have been receiving. The levy request is a replacement for the expiring levy at the same FROZEN dollar amount. Please contact Superintendent Hilyard if you have any questions or concerns with the levy request. Thank you (A levy brochure was placed in the December/January newsletter. Please contact Superintendent Hilyard if you would like an additional brochure) No salimos afuera, para recreos de 20 minutos si la

for levy support in order to make up the dollars needed to operate a b asic education. We are having an election on February 11, 2014 in order to carry on that need. We realize that the local taxpayers are hurting financially as are many of the state’s school districts. In light of everyone having to tighten their belts, the Union Gap School Board approved a FROZEN dollar levy for the February levy election. We are asking for the same dollar amount as what was requested, and approved by the voters, two years ago. 3 MARCH 24TH-‐28TH EARLY STUDENT RELEASE AT 12:50 P.M.

Acerca de los Estándares Estatales de Base
Común
Los Estándares Estatales de Base Común son un
conjunto
de estándares altos de aprendizaje en
matemáticas y lengua y literatura que están designados
para preparar a estudiantes de K-12 a tener éxito en la
universidad
y carreras. Los estándares, los cuales han
sido voluntariamente adoptados por 46 estados,
establecen
puntos de referencia para enseñanza y
aprendizaje en cada nivel de grado y son consistentes
a través
de los estados y coinciden con los estándares
usados por naciones de alto rendimiento.
¿Porque Base Común?
El Estado de Washington desde hace mucho tiempo ha
estado a la vanguardia de la tecnología y las industrias
la desarrollan. Pero una brecha de habilidades está
que
creciendo, y no tenemos suficientes candidatos
calificados
para llenar los empleos que están
disponibles, especialmente en ciencia, tecnología,
ingeniería y matemáticas. La Base Común preparara
mejor
a nuestros estudiantes para que tengan éxito en
la universidad y trabajo.
estado de Washington está en la 12 brecha de
• El
logros más grande en los Estados Unidos y sigue
creciendo.
• Menos
de la mitad de nuestros estudiantes se
gradúan listos para la universidad (según medido por
los exámenes de admisión del colegio).
• Para el 2018, se proyecta que dos de cada tres
trabajos
en Washington requerirán un título
universitario o un certificado.
¿Cómo es la Base Común diferente?

los 50 estados tenían diferentes expectativas
para estudiantes en cada nivel de grado. Los estados

About the Common Core State
Standards
The Common Core State Standards are a set of
high learning standards in math and language
arts that are designed to prepare K–12 students
for success in careers and college. The
standards, which have been voluntarily adopted
by 46 states, set benchmarks for teaching and
learning at every grade level and are consistent
across states and match the standards used by
top-performing nations.
Why Common Core?
Washington State has long been at the forefront
of technology and the industries that develop it.
But a skills gap is growing, and we don’t have
enough qualified candidates to fill the jobs that
are available, especially in science, technology,
engineering and math. The Common Core will
better prepare our students to succeed in
college and the workplace.
• Washington has the 12th largest achievement
gap in the United States, and it continues to
grow.
• Less than half of our students graduate ready
for college (as measured by college entrance
exams).
• By 2018, two out of every three jobs in
Washington are projected to require a college
degree or certificate.
How is Common Core different?
C onsistent expec tations—Before Common Core,
all 50 states had different expectations for
students at each grade level. States using
Common Core now share a set of learning
standards and expectations for all students, no
matter where they live.
D eeper understanding—Common Core focuses
on fewer standards and goes deeper into each
one. The standards build on one another,
allowing students to apply the skills and
knowledge they learned in the previous grade to
real-world situations.
Preparing students for the job market—By 2019,
Washington employers will have 20,000 jobs
annually in science, technology, engineering,
math and healthcare that need to be filled.
Common Core focuses on building the skills

Este año escolar, la escuela de Union Gap estará piloteando la
prueba
para los Estándares Estatales de Base Común. No habrá
calificaciones de la prueba disponibles pero queríamos
asegurarnos
de que los estudiantes y maestros tuvieran un
avance de la nueva prueba la cual también es llamada Smarter
Balance (Equilibrio Inteligente). Aun estaremos tomando el

hecho en los últimos años y el cual nos dará datos de las
pruebas
de los estudiantes para así aun poder enviar
calificaciones a los padres y estudiantes en el otoño. Si usted
tiene
alguna pregunta con respecto a la prueba en que su
estudiante estará participando para este año, por favor llame a
la Directora Gredvig al 248-3966 o a su correo electrónico

Progress) as we have for the past several years
which will give us testing data on the students so
we will still be able to send out scores to parents
and students in the Fall. If you have any
questions in regards to the testing your student
will participate in this year, please call Principal
Gredvig at 248-3966 or email her at

It is important that you not leave your car
unattended in this area or leave your vehicle
during drop off times (7:00 a.m.-8:30 a.m.
AND 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m.)
o
Students need to enter your car from the right
side of your vehicle. Other vehicles are leaving
the one-way area and it is dangerous to have
your child(ren) enter the car from the left of
your vehicle.
o
As vehicles leave in front of you, please move
forward to the next available stall so we can
allow more parents to enter the one-way area.
o
Vehicles cannot double park in the one-way
lane.
o
LEFT HAND TURNS, into the one-way area,

drivers ignoring the NO left turn request.
Again, please do not make a left turn off 4th
South Street into the one-way drive through.
Please park at the football field or gym parking areas
if you need to park and leave your vehicle.
NO PARKING IS PERMITTED IN THE BACK OF
THE NEW SCHOOL. The back of the school is for
bus parking only. We need to keep vehicles and buses
