Special Programs

H.O.S.T.S. (Helping One Student To Succeed) is a nation-wide known program focused on helping students in Language Arts; including reading, writing, listening, speaking, and thinking. With the help of volunteers, students receive individual attention for 1/2 hour a day up to 4 days a week.

This year the program at Broad Avenue has been very successful. In September the program started with 3 volunteers trying to help 28 students. Now the program has about 35 volunteers helping almost 100 students! Our statistics show that on-average, students advance 3.2 months in the regular classroom for every month they work with the HOSTS program!

Currently, this program is seeking new volunteers. If you or anyone you know would like to help one of the 43 students still on the waiitng list, please give us a call at Broad Avenue (310-835-3118) or visit us in Room 23A. All it takes is 1 hour a week!

LAUSD Nutrition Network

LAUSD Nutrition Network Harvest of the Month changes each month. The goal of the "Harvest of the Month" program is to increase enjoyment and consumption of fruits and vegetables. To motivate students to make healthy choices, they will taste and explore the different fruits and vegetables featured each month. This educational material encourages open-ended exploration in which the process is more important than the answer. There is more information available at http://www.lausdnutnet.org or by calling (818) 345-4712.

Shake 2008

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The safety and welfare of our students and staff are our highest priorities. To provide schools an opportunity to practice emergency response procedures, the Superintendent of Schools has asked all students and staff to participate in a District-wide emergency preparedness drill on in the spring . Please be advised that students will be dismissed at the regular time on this day.

The goals of the training drill are to improve our ability to protect students, save lives, and reduce injuries. As part of the drill, students and staff will participate in the activation of our school's Safe Schools Plan. You are encouraged to participate in this drill.

Prior to the drill, please discuss with your child your family's home preparedness plan. Several resources are available to help you prepare. The American Red Cross has outstanding materials. You can obtain Red Cross materials in English or in Spanish from their web site: http://www.redcross.org or by calling the Los Angeles Chapter at (213) 739-5200. Your telephone directory also has valuable information on first aid, CPR, and home preparedness.

If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to call our school office at (310) 835-3118.

Sincerely,

Deborah Evers-Allen, Principal
