LeConte also hosts a dual immersion program, in which English and Spanish speakers come together in Spanish immersion classrooms that gradually introduce English instruction as the students progress to fifth grade. If you choose LeConte, you child will be happy, educated and loved. I don't have first hand experience but have heard good things about Melrose Leadership Academy and Manzanita Community School. Maybe our experience is different this year because of the new K teachers. We have a new Principal Cheryl Wilson, who has brought with her boundless energy and enthusiasm. Our daughter is in the dual immersion program which she loves and attends the after-school program which is run by a new Director with a degree in multicultural studies from Mills College. The begining of emersion is confusing for alot of kids, but it really seems like they know what is going on. We liked the community at EBI but have loved SM...Our daughter is in 4th grade and she's had some fantastic and some so-so teachers (all the kindergarten teachers seem amazing), but she's thrived there. I am confident LeConte will thrive during this next transition. LeConte has great PTA sponsored after-school classes, circus, cooking, flute, dance and more. Ms. Mendez spent the day with our students, many of whom read about her story in class, and were able to ask her questions about her life. Haunted House Friday Oct 27th 6-8:30 which is a blast! Thanks! The school also has such wonderful offerings as Farm & Garden and Cooking as well as many PTA sponsored after-school classes. We support a number of students in grades TK-5 with the goal of maximizing the time they are learning together with their same-age peers. She has excellent rapport with the teachers, which has in turn motivated them to perform at their highest. Many of us struggle with staying at the school with the structural problem, and the teachers are very dedicated and highly qualified. I'm curious to connect with more Sylvia Mendez parents, and struggling to figure out how -- is there a Facebook group for Sylvia Mendez parents? I haven’t been there recently, but my kids used to enjoy the small climbing wall at Dracena Quarry Park in Piedmont. Academics come later! My daughter is still having a good experience at the school but there tends to be too much stress for us at this school. Important lessons on nutrition are emphasized in both classes again and again. Our teachers, principals and staff have been preparing for this for several years, and our families are ready to do what it takes to make the program great. I can certainly relate to your concerns regarding LeConte. We know that people are generally very happy with the Spanish immersion program. Board member Ty Alper said it’s important to remember how long it took to arrive at that decision, and how much resistance it faced from the Berkeley community at the time. Sylvia Mendez community is the strongest we have found in Berkeley - and the TK and K teachers are good. Martinot wanted to move a discussion on alcohol beverage sales and lot coverage requirements to another meeting. The school has a great farm and garden program, and the PTA afterschool classes are really engaging. Additionally, “there’s a huge desire for this to culminate in a celebration in the fall,” Beery said. These classes really helped with the transition too. Cheers broke out Wednesday night among those who stayed at the Berkeley School Board meeting to watch LeConte get renamed Sylvia Mendez Elementary School. In fact, I am co-chair of our School Governance Council this year. The District refuses to accept that to have a TWI school with only 1 English track is NOT a good model. Unique challenges to Sylvia Mendez are of course its greatest strengths, a diverse community with varying needs. The recent test scores are admittedly lower than some others in the district, but I truly believe the supportive and positive environment at LeConte right now bodes well for future endeavors and results. The naming committee has suggested various buildings at Sylvia Mendez Elementary take up some of the names that didn’t make the final cut. Property is OK, convenient enough, and the facilities are, well, public school quality, so, good enough. The principal seems to know all, or most of the kids, the teachers range from okay to good to great, there is a farm in the middle of the school and there is very nice community support for the school. When our son is at home with us in the evenings, he regales us with details of his after school anatomy lessons, recreates dishes that he learned in his cooking class, and eagerly works on his homework packet. We provide school information and parenting resources to help millions of American families choose the right school, support learning at home, and guide their children to great futures. The school just received a renovation grant, so the facilities will soon be spiffed up. She has been in the cocoon of a wonderful pre- school (Nia House)for the past 3 years. I don't feel any sort of division between the parents, though. I am having a hard time getting information about LeConte from non -immersion parents - all the parents I have encountered (at the school fare, doing the tour, at the kindergarten night) are TWI parents.
