Berry Creek School “cell tower” news for the public

Hello Berry Creek Parents and Community, 

We just want to get some information out for some community concerns.  5G is a wireless cellular technology. The tower that is being installed is not what we are installing by the school. What we are installing is a directed microwave radio emitter. Microwave radio is low power and is point to point. A small beamwidth that is directed at a specific location. ATT is required by the FCC to perform a RF Exposure Verification for every microwave radio antenna that we install.  This tower is for the high speed internet at the school and it is paid for by a large grant with the rebuild of the school. So the tower is not cellular, it’s not 5G.  It points the frequency at a specific receiver on the roof for our internet.  And due to the grant and the type of technology, it can be only used by the school.  This essentially is the same technology that Berry Creek had installed right before the fire to get high speed internet for our students.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to see Mr. Johnson.

News from Miss Perez

Hello TK-2nd Grade Families! Welcome to March! We are wishing you all the best of luck in your endeavors!

What's Important?

Homework:

Please make sure that your child has their homework folder with them each day! Please check the homework folder each night for important paperwork, and to make sure your child is completing their homework.  ASP does not ensure that homework is complete or correct!  

Words to Know:  

Each week your child has a list of words in their Reading Folder that they need to memorize.  These are either Vocabulary or High Frequency Words.  Often these words cannot be sounded out and instead must be memorized.  Please find this list and help your child practice memorizing these words, and their meanings.  They are an important part of their weekly assessments, and future success with becoming skilled readers!

Reading Folder:

Please be sure to complete the reading in the Reading Folder, and the reading log, each night, and send the folder back on Friday.  Students who do not complete their reading folder are not getting the much needed practice with the phonics and vocabulary for the week. This is the best way for you to see how well your child is progressing in their reading, and to help them improve. 

Spelling:

Students in grades 1 and 2 have a spelling list each week.  Please help them practice their spelling words throughout the week.  You can give them practice tests, have them spell words that you recite to them, or research some fun ways to practice as a family at home.  Try this link for some ideas!

Pyramid of Success Blocks for March:

Fitness: "Act, eat, and think right.  To do your best --- %100 --- and succeed you must eat right, think right, and act right! Making the full effort to do the right thing can never be taken away from you.  If you see others breaking the rules, tell yourself, 'They are hurting themselves, but they are teaching me what NOT to do.'"

Skill: "Practice makes perfect.  Be good at what you do!  Learn the subject! You have to know what you're doing and be able to do it quickly and properly. To improve your level of skill practice, study, and repetition, repetition, repetition."

What's Fun?

The BRAVE Experience, grades 1-8, took a trip to Board and Brush DIY Studio, in Chico, on February 22, 2025.  This trip was art focused.  Everyone had a fun time.  We hope you enjoyed the piece of art your child brought home, if they attended.

This month there will be 3 Saturday field trips: 

March 1, 2025 to Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding.

March 15, 2025 to Chico Children's Museum and Gateway Science Museum.

March 29, 2025 to the Esquire IMAX Theatre and Sutter's Fort in Sacramento.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at kperez@puesd.org, or call (530) 429-5155.

Sincerely,

Miss Perez

Mrs. McIntosh

Mr.Peet's Corner

We're wrapping up geometry so our focus will be algebra. It's always interesting to see who takes to algebra, over geometry and who doesn't.  Greek history is up, and everyone is going to be a poet. We've added a few new students, but with all the illnesses going around I rarely see everything at once. I'm hoping with the better weather that will all change. Many of the kids have been telling me how they aren't getting enough sleep. If this is true it would certainly be a contributing factor toward all the sickness. I've talked to them about this along with eating right, hopefully they're listening.

Check out Mr.Peet's brain teaser: 

Mrs.Oxford's Reading Room

We have started our iReady tracking and rewards program for all K-8 students. They work 10 minutes daily on reading in iReady and at the end of the week I look at their time on the program and how many lessons they have passed. They have a card posted in the room and I come in and give them a star for every lesson they have completed. Once they fill up the card they will get a prize. This program is designed to fill in their reading gaps. We are really focusing on this so hopefully their next diagnostic assessment will improve! 

Ms. Jenna and I are also working on planning a Parents Night for literacy activities. More to come........

Please have your students do their reading at home and fill in their reading logs!! Thank you for all your support!
