Resource Center Update for August 2nd and Beyond

cbell — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:31:24 +0000

Parents and staff, thanks for your patience as we continue the process of relocating our curriculum warehouse (resource center). We are still located in the warehouse section of the building on Beckman Court until the new building is finished, but we are here in a much smaller capacity. Here is an update on how the curriculum warehouse will be available to you starting on Tuesday, August 3.

The best way to get resources remains ordering using the online Follett catalog. Please place orders for your student’s resources online for later pickup.

However, if you must come to the warehouse to drop off or pull books, the warehouse will be open in a limited capacity. Starting on Tuesday, August 3, we will be open Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Please keep these guidelines in mind when considering a trip to the warehouse:

Please park in the back of the building, and enter through the marked door, next to the shipping bay.
It is best to search the Follett online catalog and order resources online for pickup. Coming to the warehouse to browse for books will be frustrating – resources have been moved around, some are in storage off-site and not available for browsing. You will need to bring a bushel-full of patience and understanding.
We strongly discourage bringing children into the warehouse – it is not a child-safe environment, and we have no space for children to wait for their parents.
The warehouse is short-handed, and RC staff will be focused on fulfilling online orders. They will not be available to answer questions about resources (parents should contact their EF with questions about the best resources for their students).
Parents or EFs who want an RC staff member to help them find and pull resources should contact Shawn Glahn at extension (951) 304-3051 x116 to make an appointment.
For information about meeting locations with your student’s Educational Facilitator, please contact your EF directly.

Update on Murrieta Meeting & Resource Center Closures

sglahn — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:00:55 +0000

As we relocate the Murrieta Meeting and Resource Center to Avenida Acacias in Murrieta, the curriculum warehouse remains temporarily on Beckman Court.

The following services will be available from the warehouse starting July 12, and continuing at least until August 6. Please continue to check this website for the most up-to-date information about school operations.

The warehouse remains closed until July 12.
Please order all resources for students using the Follett online catalog, available on this website.
Resources ordered on Follett before July 25 will be delivered to your Educational Facilitator on August 2. Orders placed after July 25 will not be ready for delivery to your Educational Facilitator until after August 5.
Beginning July 12, the warehouse will be open for returns only. EFs and parents who have items to drop off may do so at the shipping/receiving bay, at the rear of the building.
No one will be able to enter the warehouse itself during this period.
Only RC employees will be pulling books to fulfill online orders.
If a resource is needed in-hand prior to August 2, the EF or parent placing the online order must e-mail Shawn Glahn AFTER placing the order online (sglahn@juliancharterschool.org) to advise Shawn of the special request. We will do our best to accommodate these special requests.
The reproducible items are very limited at this time and there may not be certain materials available for check out until after the RC has been relocated and reopened in our new facility.

Thank you for your patience as we work to provide our students with curriculum in time for the start of school on August 23. Should you have any questions about ordering resources during this transition, please contact Shawn Glahn in the RC at (951) 304-3051 Ext. 116 or by e-mail sglahn@juliancharterschool.org. Please continue to check the JCS website for updates on the Murrieta Meeting and Resource Center move.

Spring 2010 Soccer Final

mhorvath — Thu, 27 May 2010 21:09:57 +0000

Middle School

On Friday afternoon, the San Diego Surf concluded a perfect 6 - 0 season as they edged the San Diego Jaguars 6 - 5. Congratulations to all the middle school teams for their improving play and superb sportsmanship. Thanks to the coaches for their dedication to the students of JCS.

High School

On Friday, the first seed Alpine Coyotes and second seed Murrieta Hawks played a game for the ages. In the first half it was all Coyotes as they took a 5 – 2 lead. The second half belonged to the Hawks as they came from behind to take the lead. Alpine fought back to tie and put the game into a 5-minute sudden death overtime period. Both teams played stellar defense as the overtime period expired without a winner. The game would then be won on the best of 3 penalty kicks. The Hawks made their first 2 shots ending one of the most memorable games in the history of JCS sports. Congratulations to both Hawks and Coyotes for a game well played. Thanks to Coach Hovenic and Coach Siders for their hard work and dedication.

The third place game between the San Diego Jaguars and the San Diego Surf was all Jaguars, as they shut out the Surf 5 - 0. The game was played hard, and each team showed great respect for the other. Thanks to Coach Schaeffer and Coach Satterfield for their leadership.

That will do it for another year of JCS sports. Thanks again to all who have made a difference in the lives of our student-athletes. We hope to see you again next year.

Journey North Calculations Successful!

cbell — Wed, 19 May 2010 17:18:43 +0000

Careful geographic calculations were done by a group of homeschoolers in Brea who successfully identified ten mystery cities by using clues such as sunrise and sunset times over the semester. In the last month additional clues were given to help them narrow down their search. Students worked in family groups or with partners and all 17 K-6 students gained a deeper understanding of their world and others in it. Congratulations to Mrs. Kling’s science group for all their hard work! Check out the mystery cities here: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/mclass/spring2010/Update051410.html

Students Learn About Literature Through Role Play

cbell — Tue, 18 May 2010 15:45:41 +0000

Mrs. Sheehey’s freshman English classes at the Murrieta High School Academy participated in a Tribal Survivor to end of a literature unit on the novel The Lord of the Flies. The students were grouped into tribes for which they picked their own tribe name, designed a tribal flag, and participated in several activities like mental tug-o-war where they answered questions about the novel. They also went on a literary device treasure hunt and built their own mini shelters. The tribes created their own distinct tribal outfits and put on face paint to scare away the competition.
