LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The second grading period just came to an end and students are ecstatic to find out what levels they earned.
Here is a list of students who received gold level cards: Andrew Astorga, Anna Barnard, Kacy Barron, Doyle Conatser, Kayla Doyle, Jasmine Heckard, Allen Hernandez, Kristin Melcher, Chris Nuzzo, Michael Nuzzo, Ryan O’Bryan, Maria Pineda, Alexus Stickle and Sarah Viale.
Carlé high school congratulates them on their success.
On Nov. 12, all of the gold level students from the first grading period will be going on a gold level field trip and they will be going to the skate center in Ukiah. The business will be shutting down the whole building for the day and letting all of the students go out and skate.
On the day of harvest fest our principle made waffles for the whole school for breakfast. Carlé held its annual Harvest Fest on Oct. 29 and things and went amazing.
The final standings for the whole day advisory competitions were: Angie Siegel in first, Derek Walley in second, Dan Maes in third, and Alan Siegel in fourth place.
Our student body president José Bendana had this to say. “The harvest fest was a great success. With help from the rest of the student council and our principal and staff, all the events went smoothly, all the students had a great time and it was nice to see all the students together and participate in each event.”
“We had a great time, and every body had fun,” said Carlé Principal Matt Strahl. “Once again the advisory that was lead by a pirate won. This year we did have a tie after all the events, but when classroom participation points were factored into total points Angie’s advisory came out victorious. We are looking forward to the next set of activities.”
On Friday, Oct. 30, 2015 Carlé held the silver level movie for gold, silver and bronze level students with 100-percent attendance.
Students who did not earn this reward had to stay in classes and do work. The goal is to have all the students want this reward and work hard each grade period to earn it.

California Community Colleges Board of Governors President Geoffrey L. Baum and Assembly Majority Leader Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, on Wednesday celebrated the signing of legislation that will expand high school students’ access to college level coursework, providing them with an early opportunity to acquire academic skills that will help them succeed in college.
A ceremony was held at Pasadena City College to mark the occasion.
Holden’s Assembly Bill 288 will create partnerships between high schools and community colleges to allow a broader range of students to take college-level courses at their high schools or on college campuses – what is known as concurrent or dual enrollment. Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill in October.
“Expanding dual enrollment is critical because it increases opportunities for students to pursue certificates and degrees or transfer to four-year institutions,” said Board of Governors President Baum. “These valuable partnerships will help high school students acquire the academic skills necessary to be successful, and they will gain confidence as a result of early access to college instruction.”
The new partnerships will expand opportunities for students who may not already be college bound or who are underrepresented in higher education, with the goal of developing seamless pathways from high school to community college for career technical education or transfer preparation.
These College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) will focus on the needs of local communities and save students, families and the state time, money and scarce educational resources.
“With the signing of AB 288, thousands of high school students across California will be able to receive expanded concurrent enrollment opportunities,” Assembly member Holden said. “Students who never thought college was possible will realize that college is within their reach and that anyone can rise to the challenge.”
The bill, which takes effect Jan. 1, removes barriers to concurrent enrollment by allowing students to enroll in a maximum of 15 units of coursework if certain conditions are met and prohibits any fee from being charged to high school students in CCAP courses.
Additionally the legislation allows community colleges to limit enrollment in a course offered on a high school campus to CCAP students.
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation composed of 72 districts and 113 colleges serving 2.1 million students per year.
Community colleges supply workforce training, basic skills education and prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions. The Chancellor’s Office provides leadership, advocacy and support under the direction of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges.

LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Last week David De Arcos, the chairman for Carlé's Western Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation committee, visited our school for the first time.
De Arcos and two others will be coming for our formal accreditation evaluation March 7 through 9, 2016.
“To focus on learning, the previous team came March 22 to 24, 2010, for the same reason, basically to evaluate and validate the integrity of the Carlé school program,” he said. We will be looking at all aspects of the school community. The school will be going through its self study and our team will be looking over the results of that study. Part of the visit will include talking to students, parents and staff as well as the superintendent and the Konocti School Board.”
He added, “A key part of the decision will include how many years of accreditation, with six years being ideal with a one- or two-day review on year three. After the third day of the visit we will give an oral report. The school will receive a draft copy of our final evaluation, and our recommendations will go on to the state. In terms of my background, I am a retired educator of 32 years who started as a teacher then on to administration at McClellan High School as a principal and this school shares a lot of similarities. The purpose of this first visit is to meet student and staff and get everything set up for next spring.”
On Oct. 30, the second grading period will be ending and students will find out their grades at what is the one third point of the school year.
Carlé would like to congratulate Angela Acosta and Martin Ceja on receiving student of the week.
The end of the second grade period is also the end of our student art mug contest, sponsored by the media classes and student based enterprise. We made many beautiful mugs with students helping students to produce them.
The many media designers are currently creating unique and individualized bookmarks for every person on the Carlé campus.
The students also decided to make sure all those attending Blue Heron would be receiving thoughtful gifts as well.
The end of the grading period also brings sustainability awards with the new report cards. We observed that some of our students did really well one grading period but then often would struggle to achieve the same level or higher the next grading period.
The media classes and staff created and promote “sustainability awards,” where students are rewarded a series of free items from our business if they hold their levels or better them each time after the first grade period. Once again students sit down with students to make special gifts after the end of each grading period.
The Sharp program will be returning to Carlé High School on Nov. 3 and 4. The program will be gender separated and there will be a male and female instructor.
The targeted age for the program is 12 to 18 and the purpose of the program is to teach teens about healthy and unhealthy relationships.
The program is actually an acronym it stands for “Sexual Health and Adolescent Risk Prevention.” The program targets continuation schools and “at risk kids” to try and help them.
Jonathan Killops and Julian Robey will be teaching the program. The program is two hours a day, and whoever attends will be receive credit.
Carol Ellis and the Vallejo high school class of 1964 have donated many jackets and warm clothes to the students at Carlé because of the Valley fire and overall need in our community. Carlé High School thanks them for their thoughtfulness and generous donations.
