“The responsibility, respect, and competence of the Carlé students was evident throughout the night, our community can be proud or Carlé,” said Konocti Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Bill MacDougall.
The students who volunteered their time were Patricia Moleiro, Katie Boulrice, Stacey Fedewa, Jackie Stephenson, Trever Giovacchini, Phoenix King, Derek Grace, Marco Ochoa, Manuel Armijo, Dylan Nevarez and Keilana Jackson.
On the same night Angie led our students in setting up and serving the annual Land Trust dinner, where one guests said, “They were one of the best serving crews ever.”
Lake County Land Trust works to preserve our land here in Lake County, and the students who served this organization were Halei Askew, Alexandria VonRekowski, Alexandria Nance, Kinesha Wilson, Yanet Pineta and Brooke Robb. A big thank you to all of our volunteers for your hard work.
The Interact club lunch went very well. Students Winter Gray, Stacey Fedewa, Lexi Nance, Paul LaRue, and Michelle LaRue were introduced and spoke of the Rotary events planned for this year. Carlé also received complements from Dr. MacDougall and Clearlake Police Chief Allan McClain.
Our student of the week is Keilana Jackson. Verna nominated Keilana because she works constantly and never slacks. She also receives As on all of her assignments. Congratulations Keilana and keep up the great work.
Our CHILY person this week is Josh Hays, congratulations.
Carlé High would like to welcome Ittaly Heart, Josh Hammond, Matt Vaughn and Justin Boyce to our school. We hope you feel welcome and comfortable here.
Our birthdays last week were Geneva Hudson, Yvette Barron, and Christine Hayes. Happy birthday and we hope all of you had a great time.
We are hosting a ping-pong tournament at Carlé and the people who signed up are: Jeremy Burton, Marco Ochoa, Nate Oberdorf, Dylan Navarez, Manuel Armijo, Ryan Cumpston, Aaron Trammell, James Weemes, our staff member Gary Oaks, and our principle Ed Zander. For the girls list we have Marissa Espinoza, Shelby Saldana and two of our teachers Verna Rogers and Angie Siegel. The date has not yet been set and there¹s still time to sign up so, hurry.
Carlé is now accepting donations for computers, anything you have; old monitors, towers and laptops. Anything you have we will gladly accept. We take these computers wipe the drives and rebuild working ones out of the donations. We then donate them to families in the community.
The staff-student luncheon that was held at our school two weeks ago went great. We would like to congratulate all the students who were invited: Will McAlister, Ashley Wiebusch, Allen Weemes, Ryan Cumpston, Stefani Conner, Chris Clark, Amber Bradford, Nicholas Ford and Gerald Stahlman.
The students who were chosen to be cooks at the luncheon were Ellie Hackler, Michelle LaRue and Kaitlyn Sliger. The students who are designing the posters made for the students that were invited to this special lunch are Lisa Davis, Rebecca Englander, and Kayellia Lansdowne. These posters will go
in each of the students' portfolios and will be part of each of their power point shows during their portfolio celebration prior to their graduation.
Kaitlyn Sliger and Andrea McMullen are students at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake.

Specifically, these bills help increase the quantity, availability and practicality of using digital textbooks in the classroom.
“I am happy to sign these bills that build on the goals of California’s first-in-the-nation digital textbook initiative,” said Schwarzenegger. “With smart legislation such as this, California can lead the nation toward a more technologically advanced education system that meets the needs of today’s students while freeing up resources for schools to invest in other vital priorities in this difficult economic time.”
SB 48 by Senator Elaine Alquist (D-San Jose) requires that any individual, firm, partnership or corporation that offers textbooks for sale at the University of California, the California State University, the California Community Colleges or any private postsecondary education institution in the state, to the extent practicable, make them available, in whole or in part, for sale in an electronic format by Jan. 1, 2020.
SB 247 by Senator Elaine Alquist (D-San Jose) will allow K-12 school districts to provide their students with electronic textbooks which should free up limited resources for other critical education priorities. This bill also opens the door for more technology-based instruction which can improve student performance in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) classes with the use of creative and fun software to demonstrate complex STEM concepts.
AB 1398 by Assemblymember Bob Blumenfield (D-San Fernando) changes the definition of “technology-based materials” to include the electronic equipment required to make use of those materials only if that equipment is to be used by pupils and teachers as a learning resource and specifies that a district that is out of compliance with existing requirements to provide pupils sufficient textbooks or instructional materials is not authorized to purchase electronic equipment pursuant to this bill.
In May, the Governor launched the first-in-the-nation digital textbook initiative which is designed to ensure California’s students have access to high-quality, cost-effective instructional materials and to open the door to a more technologically advanced education system.
In August, the Governor announced that 16 free digital textbooks for high school math and science classes met at least 90 percent of California’s rigorous standards, and four met 100 percent.
