Sacramento Black Book Fair & Community ReadIn
The 2015 Sacramento Black Book Fair (SBBF) selected as its theme “Reading, a Pathway to Freedom: The 50th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.” The SBBF is inviting Fortune School Families to explore its theme by reading at least one of the 2015 book selections listed below.
Selections will be available for purchase on Tuesday, April 14th from 3:00 5:00 PM. We are excited to be partnering with the Sacramento Black Book Fair to encourage our scholars and families to participate in this citywide Community ReadIn!
College Field Lessons Our College Field Lessons will begin this trimester for all classes in every grade level! We are looking for volunteers to help chaperone our trips. Chaperone’s must be fingerprinted in order to lead a group. Our schedule for each grade level is as follows:
Kindergarten: CSU Sacramento April 24 Second Grade: CSU Stanislaus April 30 Third Grade: San Francisco State April 14
Fourth Grade:Stanford April 30 Sixth Grade: UC Berkeley April 15
Early Release Day 20152016 Beginning August 19, 2015, all scholars will dismiss at 2:00PM every Wednesday. Fortune School campuses are implementing the Common Core State Standards along with the rest of California’s public schools. As a result, our teachers and principals need more time for professional development and planning.
Utilizing Wednesday afternoons each week will allow Fortune educators the time they need to plan. The After School Program will be offered on Wednesdays to accommodate the Early Release schedule.
Have questions about the new Early Release schedule for next school year? Please refer to Mr. Gambino and Mr. Atkins for any inquiries regarding this schedule change for 20152016.
