Principal’s​ ​Weekly​ ​Highlight

This​ ​year​ ​the​ ​California​ ​Department​ ​of​ ​Education​ ​(CDE)​ ​is​ ​using​ ​the​ ​Local​ ​Control​ ​Funding​ ​Formula​ ​(LCFF)​ ​to​ ​fund our​ ​schools.​ ​The​ ​LCFF​ ​gives​ ​money​ ​to​ ​schools​ ​and​ ​districts​ ​based​ ​on​ ​the​ ​needs​ ​of​ ​students.​ ​The​ ​CDE​ ​will​ ​use​ ​the information​ ​submitted​ ​by​ ​Steele​ ​Canyon​ ​to​ ​determine​ ​our​ ​school’s​ ​current​ ​and​ ​future​ ​funding​ ​allocations.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​vital that​ ​we​ ​collect​ ​and​ ​submit​ ​this​ ​data​ ​so​ ​our​ ​school​ ​can​ ​receive​ ​funding​ ​that​ ​accurately​ ​accounts​ ​for​ ​student​ ​needs. On​ ​Wednesday,​ ​all​ ​students​ ​received​ ​a​ ​Household​ ​Income​ ​Data​ ​Collection​ ​form​​ ​in​ ​their​ ​second​ ​block​ ​class. Please​ ​fill​ ​it​ ​out​ ​and​ ​return​ ​it​ ​in​ ​the​ ​attached​ ​sealed​ ​envelope​ ​with​ ​your​ ​child​ b ​ y​ ​Sept.​ ​27th.​​ ​For​ ​your​ ​convenience, the​ ​form​ ​is​ ​also​ ​attached​ ​here​ ​in​ ​English​​ ​and​ ​Spanish​.​ ​Be​ ​assured​ ​that​ ​only​ ​our​ ​Business​ ​Office​ ​will​ ​be​ ​handling these​ ​confidential​ ​forms. If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​questions​ ​regarding​ ​the​ ​completion​ ​and​ ​submission​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Household​ ​Income​ ​Data​ ​Collection​ ​form, please​ ​contact​ ​Shannon​ ​Ramsinghani​ ​Admin​ ​Director​ ​Special​ ​Projects​ ​(619-660-3521).​ ​Thank​ ​you​ ​for​ ​your​ ​support in​ ​ensuring​ ​that​ ​our​ ​school​ ​maximizes​ ​the​ ​resources​ ​they​ ​need​ ​to​ ​support​ ​our​ ​students.
