Principal’s Message
The Endeavor On Friday September 21, the space shuttle Endeavor passed through major California landmarks as the California Science Center in Los Angeles will be its permanent home; a museum frequented by NASA students. NASA students had the in-credible opportunity to witness the space shuttle pass trough downtown Los Angeles and the Hollywood sign. The space shuttle left NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and ar-rived to California early Friday morning. The shuttle goes on display October 30, and approximately 7,000 visitors are ex-pected every day to see the shuttle. The shuttle has visited space 25 times, and it made its final flight on Friday to its new home in Los Angeles. The shuttle will remain in Los Angeles International Airport until October 13, when the Endeavour makes its 12 mile journey through the streets of Los Angeles to its fi-nal destination, the California Science Center.

Parents Make the Difference
You woke up late and you wonder whether you take your child to school. After all, will one ab-sence or tardy matter? The answer is yes. A large scale review of research shows that children put their entire school career at risk whey they are absent or tardy in the early years. The learning they miss is hard to make up. Still, it can be a challenge to get a family out the door on time. Here’s how: *Get ready the night before. Lay out what your child will wear. Make sure she has everything that she needs to take to school *Establish routines. Create a chart of the things your child needs to do each day. When it’s a routine, she won’t ar-gue about it. *Allow extra time. Set your alarm clock a few minutes early. Allow yourself an extra five or 10 minutes to get your child to school.
Early Absences and Tardies Lead to School Problems Later
Parent involvement significantly raises your child's chances of doing well, and it gives you an insider’s view of life at school. Many parents en-joy volunteering in classrooms. However, that’s not the only place schools need parent's help. Parent’s can also support: The library. You might shelve books, check items in and out, read aloud, or help students find materials. The office. This is one the busiest places at school so there is usually more than enough work to go around. The surroundings. Parents can spruce up hall-ways, classrooms, lounges, and landscaping. The teacher. Check the calendar for special events, including field trips, as early as possible so you’ll have the best chance of chaperoning or attending. The student. Simple at home tasks, such as reading and helping with homework, make a huge difference!

Mensaje del Director
El Endeavor El viernes 21 de septiembre, el transbordador espacial Endeavor paso a través de importantes paisajes de California. El Centro de Ciencias de California en Los Angeles sera su hogar permanente; un museo frecuentado por estudiantes de la NASA. NASA estu-diantes tuvieron la incredible oportunidad para verr el paso del transbordador espacial que voló a través de el centro de Los Ange-les y el letrero de Hollywood. El transbordador salió del centro de Kennedy Space Center de NASA en Florida y llegó a California tem-prano por la mañana el viernes. El transbordador va estar dis-ponible el 30 de octubre, y aproximadamente 7.000 visitantes se anticipa cada día para ver el transbordador. El transbordador ha visitado el espacio 25 veces, y hizo su vuelo final el viernes a su nuevo hogar en Los Angeles. El transbordador permanecerá en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Angeles hasta el 13 de octubre, cuando el Endeavour haga su viaje de 12 millas a través de las calles de Los An-
geles a su destino final, el Centro de Ciencias de California.

Padres Hacen la Diferencia
Despertó tarde y se pregunto si debe llevar a su hijo a la escuela. ¿Después de todo, importará una ausen-cia o tardanza? La respuesta es sí. Una revisión de gran escala de la investigación muestra que los niños ponen su carrera escolar en riesgo cuando están ausentes o tienen tardanzas en los primeros años. El aprendizaje que pierden los estudiantes es muy difícil de aprender después. Aún así, puede ser un reto para tener una familia fuera de la puerta en tiempo. Aquí está cómo: * Preparar sus cosas la noche anterior Coloque lo que usará su hijo. Asegúrese de que tenga todo lo que tiene que llevar a la escuela. * Establecer rutinas. Crear un gráfico de las cosas que su niño necesita hacer cada día. Cuando es una rutina, ella no va a discutir sobre ello. * Permita tiempo extra. Ponga su despertador unos minutos antes. Permítase unos extra cinco o 10 minutos para llegar a su hijo a la escuela a tiempo.
Ausencias y Tardanzas a la Es-cuela Pueden Causar Problemas Más Tarde La participación de los padres aumenta significa-
tivamente las posibilidades de su hijo de hacer bien, y le da una visión de la vida en la escuela. Muchos pa-dres disfrutan ayudar en las clases. Sin embargo, esa no es único lugar las escuela que necesita ayuda de los padres. Los padres también pueden apoyar:
La biblioteca. Los padres pueden dejar libros, ayudar a registrar libros que los estudiantes sacan y devuelven, leerle a los niños en voz alta o ayudar a los estudiantes a encontrar materiales. La Oficina. Este es uno de los lugares más ocupados en la escuela por lo que generalmente es más de lo su-ficiente trabajo para todos. El ambiente. Los padres pueden embellecer pasillos, salones y jardines. El maestro. Vea el calendario de eventos especiales, incluyendo los paseos, lo más pronto posible para que tenga mejor posibilidades de acompañarlos o asistir. El estudiante. Cosas simples en casa, como la lec-tura y ayudar con la tarea, hacen una gran diferencia!
