LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Carlé welcomed three more students last week.
The new students are Melanie Graf, Anessa Lopez and Devyn Viale. We hope Carlé High School helps them to achieve their graduation goals.
Carlé will be taking a trip to Santa Rosa Junior College.
“The plan is to take the entire school to Santa Rosa Junior College to learn about all the programs the school offers. Its another option for students, because some have already visited Mendocino Junior College and Yuba College,” said Carlé Principal Mr. Strahl.
Carlé is in the middle of a contest for the best yearbook cover; the winner will be receiving a free yearbook.
Student Angelique Smith was our student of the week last week. She is a hard worker and deep thinker who is truly kind.
Last weeks winner for CHILYS was Gage Fowler and he chose a basketball.
On Jan. 26 there will be no school because of a staff development day.
Hazmat certification classes taught by Angie Siegel went well this year. This was the first year that every student who took the exam passed and got their certifications.
“Hazmat was a pretty long class that was also very serious, we covered a lot of subjects such as isolating areas, and Identifying placards,” said student Daniel Salvante. “At the end we went to the firehouse and tried on hazmat suits and looked at hazmat equipment. On the final day we had the test to get our certification.”
Carlé High School would like to thank Willie Sapeta and Mark Hill for showing the hazmat students the ropes.
“Hazmat is a state certification, it teaches students to recognize and identify hazardous materials, also how to isolate and deny entry, to keep people away from a hazardous situations,” said teacher Angie Siegel. “Students learn who to call, how to contain the situation in a definitive way, and they learned about personal protective equipment, levels o-a students must pass the state certification test with 70 percent or above. With this certification the students can now get a good job.”
One of our students Amari Wyle has graduated. Carlé High School congratulates him and wishes him well in his life post high school. Amari was hazmat-certified last year.
Doyle Conatser and Daniel Salvante are student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.

SACRAMENTO – California's community college system conferred a record number of degrees and certificates in the most recent academic year as enrollment and course offerings throughout the 112-college system increased for the first time since the Great Recession hit six years ago, according to figures released by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office.
The college system also saw completion rates for remedial math, English and English as a Second Language trend upward, and success rates for credit courses continued to rise, according the 2014 State of the System Report that was presented to the Board of Governors on Tuesday.
“The California Community Colleges is rebounding from the budget cuts that forced us to ration education,” said California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice W. Harris. “We are expanding course offerings and enrolling more students. As our Student Success Initiative takes hold we are seeing more students earn certificates and degrees and transferring to four-year institutions. Though we still have much more work to do, we are on the right path.”
The system suffered a 22 percent drop in the number of students served between 2008-09 and 2012-13, a loss of nearly 600,000 students because of the Great Recession and the steep funding cuts it caused.
The annual report gives a comprehensive overview of the system’s undertakings in the 2013-14 academic year, progress it has made in a variety of areas and provides statistical information regarding enrollments, funding, total awards conferred and more.
The report is part of the Student Success Scorecard, an accountability framework that is a cornerstone of the California Community Colleges Board of Governors Student Success Initiative.
Some findings highlighted in the report:
• Community colleges awarded 190,314 certificates and degrees in 2013-14, a 40 percent increase from 2009-10, and an all-time high for the system.
• Total enrollment edged upward by 15,351 students after four years of stunning declines: Enrollment in 2013-14 stood at 2,094,910.
• Some 11,839 Associate in Arts for Transfer and Associate in Science for Transfer degrees, which guarantee students admission to California State University, were conferred in 2013-14, double the figure from the previous academic year.
• There are now 66 veterans’ resource centers supporting veterans on California community college campuses.
• Colleges restored many course offerings that had been canceled in 2013-14. The number of course sections offered is now 352,516, an increase of 7 percent from the previous year.
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation composed of 72 districts and 112 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.

SACRAMENTO – President Obama is expected to announce plans Tuesday that would make community college free to millions of qualified community college students, an initiative consistent with the many financial aid opportunities promoted by the California Community Colleges’ “I Can Afford College” campaign that makes higher education accessible to millions of students.
“Improving opportunities for all California residents to attend community college is critical to the wellbeing of our state and is an intense focus of ours,” said California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice W. Harris. “In fact, fees are waived for 45 percent of our students through the Board of Governors Fee Waiver. I urge anyone interested in attending community college to explore their options by visiting www.icanaffordcollege.com .”
The California Community Colleges has a long history of free higher education, and state residents did not pay any fees at California community colleges until 1984.
While California community colleges continue to be an affordable option for those seeking a higher education, there are a variety of financial aid opportunities to help those that need financial assistance.
Financial aid at the California Community Colleges comes in a few basic types. In addition to the Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver, there are grants and scholarships which don't have to be paid back, work study programs which require work in exchange for money, and loans which students have to repay when they complete their educational goals. Financial aid can pay for college fees, books, supplies and sometimes even help with rent.
To explore the variety of financial aid opportunities today, current and prospective students should visit the “I Can Afford College” Web site, www.icanaffordcollege.com .
The site, available in both English and Spanish, features easy-to-understand financial aid information, new tools and helpful resources, as well as links to financial aid applications and a zip code locator where students can get connected with their local college financial aid office for more information and assistance completing the forms.
To get the most aid available for the fall 2015 semester, students and prospective students should apply for financial aid by the March 2 Cal Grant deadline.
Many colleges will be offering free financial aid workshops to provide one-on-one assistance to help with the financial aid forms as well as answer any questions. Upcoming workshops can be found at www.icanaffordcollege.com .
In addition to visiting the Web site, students and their families can also connect with the campaign through social media channels, at www.facebook.com/icanaffordcollege , www.twitter.com/icanafrdcollege and www.instagram.com/icanaffordcollege .
These tools provide tips, deadline reminders and other helpful information that students can use to navigate financial aid and enhance their college experience.
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation, composed of 72 districts and 112 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 California Community Colleges “I Can Afford College” campaign is a statewide, financial aid awareness initiative sponsored by state of California.
The purpose of the campaign is to educate current and prospective students about the year-round availability of financial aid at California’s 112 community colleges to help pay for fees, books, supplies and sometimes even rent.
Since the campaign launched in April 2004, more than two million people have visited the www.icanaffordcollege.com Web site and the number of community college students receiving some type of financial aid has increased by 70 percent.
