On March 5 Pamela Bordisso from Yuba College came to Carlé.
Bordisso gave Carlé students an opportunity to earn a $500 scholarship to Yuba College. She also came to remind the students who planed on going to college to fill out their FASFA forms.
During the past week Carlé has been hosting a ping pong tournament in the library at lunch.
Mr. To and Gary Oakes have been supervising the ongoing tournament, and the winners will be announced soon.
On March 9 students who earned gold, silver and bronze levels were treated to a reward movie day.
The students who earned this privilege were Leticia Bowman, Cody Beers, Cameron Carillo, Jade Fox, Jr. Garcia, Zack Grey, Jesse Greene, Joey Griffith, Mayra Pantoja, Corissa Schoonderwoerd, Kyle Scott, Monique Throop, Dylan Ward, Jonathan Warren, Austin Weldon and Erica Woods.
Carlé would like to welcome new students Thomas Valdez, Jacob Wood and Shelby England. Everyone at Carlé Hopes they enjoy their time with us.
The Carlé staff would like to thank Trevor Wilson for standing in for super secretary and former Konocti Unified's Classified Employee of the year Barbara Dye during her lunch break. She does so much for this school she deserves a break.
On March 3 Carlé students volunteered at the Soroptimist luncheon. The luncheon was held at the Clearlake senior center and students Bowman, Throop, Schoonderwoerd, Shania Jones, Chantilly Pannell, Tanya Smith and Pantoja delivered community service at the event.
The Lower Lake Action Group will have a dinner and another community service opportunity for Carlé students on March 14 for St. Patrick's Day.
On March 12 Principal To and teacher Angie Siegel will attend the Denis Parker Strategic Schooling Training. The training is to help the staff keep our STAR test scores high.
On March 24 Carlé students will help with the fashion festival. The festival will be held by the Lower Lake Historical School Preservation Committee and Carlé students have helped with it for many years now.
It will be at the Lower Lake Historic Schoolhouse Museum and the volunteers will be serving drinks, busing tables, and washing dishes.
Carlé is very proud to help support this event and it gives students a great chance to be involved in the community.
That is all for now, Have a great week!

UKIAH – “Teachers on Teaching: Accessing Knowledge and Delivering Instruction; Best Practices for the 21st Century,” a one-day conference for local and regional educators, will be presented at the Mendocino College campus in Ukiah on Saturday, March 17.
Beginning Saturday morning with check-in at 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., the low-cost conference is designed to explore a variety of topics of interest to teachers across disciplines from pre-kindergarten to college.
“The Foundation Skills Teaching and Learning Community of Mendocino College is hosting this important local event to bring educators together to share ideas, build collaboration, and learn about current practices and projects in our community,” said conference coordinator and Mendocino College English Professor Debra Polak.
“If you are a current or prospective teacher or school counselor, this conference is for you,” Polak explained. “This year we have collaborated with Dominican University to offer Continuing Education Units for participants. It may also meet criteria for professional development ‘buy back’ days for some teachers. K-12 participants should check with their district office about potential credit. It will also qualify as a college flex activity, and we can provide proof of your attendance.”
Building on three previous annual conferences presented for local teachers at the community college in Ukiah, topics for this year’s sessions include Wiki teaching tools, writing in the math class, using Google Docs to develop student writing, lessons from coaching for the classroom, and the changing nature of academic reading and writing.
A morning panel will explore technology in education with a range of local educators representing primary school through postsecondary perspectives.
Break-out sessions will also emphasize collaborative communication among local college and kindergarten through high school educators and strengthening partnerships in the community.
“The conference is organized for a Saturday so busy local educators will have the opportunity to participate,” says conference co-chair Virginia Guleff, Dean of Instruction for the college in Ukiah.
“Based on past years’ successful format, we’re offering this year’s activities in a central location and at a low cost to help support local educators and their schools in difficult budget times. Cost for the conference is just $15 and includes a fabulous lunch,” Guleff explained.
If participants choose to register for units through Dominican University, there is an additional cost.
Preregistration is required. To register or for more information, please contact the Mendocino College Foundation Skills email
