Principal’s Message
Dear Friends and Families of Los Ranchos,
  |
We had a very informative Parent Coffee with Eileen Calandro this morning. She shared some valuable information to help parents navigate the “constantly flowing river” of social media with our children. Parents had some great questions. How do I teach my children about digital citizenship? How can I be more proactive? What boundaries shall I set? Mrs. Calandro shared many great resources, but highlighted iRules by Janell Burley Hofmann and UnSelfie by Michelle Borba, Ed.D. We are lucky to have many good opportunities to learn more through our adult school.
Our next Parent Coffee will be on February 24 at 8:30 a.m.. Tristan Shorba, a lead Science teacher in our district, will be sharing information about Next Generation Science Standards. I hope you can join us.

Have a lovely weekend.
Sincerely,
Marlie Schmidt
