National Bike to School Day – May 4^th

White Hill is doing great when it comes to green travel to school. Seventy-five percent of our students walk, bike, bus or carpool to school - that's impressive!  Twenty-five percent are driving in their single family vehicles - that’s still 200 cars arriving every day.  Let's try to reduce the single car trips even further.  Please encourage your student to bike to school on National Bike to School Day, Wednesday, May 4th.  Join in the fun on National Bike to School Day!  If you don’t normally ride, give it a try. Maybe ask a friend to join. There will be a prize for every rider!

Carnevale Fantastico and White Hill Renaissance Day!

In the following two weeks, one iconic performer and one experienced theatrical director from the Northern California Renaissance Faire and Carnevale Fantastico, Italian Renaissance Festival will be leading workshops at White Hill Middle School to help the students prepare for their own Renaissance Fair later in May. They will be reviewing a variety of subjects from daily life in the Renaissance to entertainment of the times. In conjunction with these special classes, students have the opportunity to attend Carnevale Fantastico! which takes place May 14th and 15th at Blue Rock Springs Park in Vallejo. This unique event brings to life the fashion, theatre, music and life of the late Italian Renaissance. Hundreds of exquisitely costumed characters will fill the park while four stages will boast nonstop shows including traditional music and dance, Commedia Del Arte and condensed works of Shakespeare. There are games, demonstrations, an artisan’s marketplace and Italian food to enjoy.

 White Hill Students 7th graders will be given a pass to attend FREE if accompanied by an adult. One adult may bring multiple students. All students can pick up passes in the Office.  Information about the festival can be found on the website at www.carnevalefantastico.com and on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/carnevalefantastico/  Adults may purchase discount tickets online for $12.50.  Contact information is available on the web site.

Revised 2016-2017 Calendar To Be Considered By Trustees At The May 3^rd Board Meeting

In an effort to align school district calendars throughout Marin County, particularly with regard to high school districts and their elementary feeders, a recommendation will be made to our Board of Trustees on May 3, 2016, that the RVSD calendar for 2016-17 be modified as follows:

First day of school changed from Thursday August 25, 2016 to Wednesday August 24, 2016

Monday October 17, 2016 is changed from a student day to a non-student day (teacher staff development)

Winter break moved from 12/19/16 – 12/30/16, to 12/23/16 – 1/6/17.

Spring break moved from 4/17/17 – 4/21/17, to 4/10/17 – 4/14/17.

The Ross Valley Teachers’ Association has voted to approve these modifications, which if approved by the Board on May 3^rd would align our major breaks (winter, mid-winter and spring) with the Tamalpais Union High School District.

Parent Input Forms

Parent/Guardian Input forms for class placement decisions for the 2016-17 school year are available in the office beginning Monday, 4/25/16.  They are due no later than Friday, May 6^th.  You may use this opportunity to provide information about your child to help us make optimal and balanced placement decisions for next year.
