Dear Taft Families,
This is Principal Garcia-Rubio calling with our Sunday update. We hope everyone had a restful week. We are ready to come back tomorrow and continue our online learning.
GRADE LEVEL ASSEMBLIES ARE COMING!
Thank you for supporting our grade level assemblies! Mrs. Sanchez and Mr. Montoro shared the importance of good attendance for student success. Please contact us if your child is having any issue with attending or participating in online learning.
LCFF FORMS
If families have not completed the electronic copy of the LCFF on the Parent PowerSchool Portal, there is still time to do so. Our deadline was extended to Friday, December 7, 2020. These forms are important as they directly impact the funding that Taft will receive for our students next year. Families who need paper copies of the LCFF Forms or anyone who needs assistance with the Parent PowerSchool Portal may contact Mrs. Marsha McNeil at [email protected].
TAFT APP
Taft Middle School has an online App. Our App may be found by downloading “The School Planner” app on a mobile device or laptop. Please search for Taft Middle School to find our specific information.`
SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL (SSC) AND SCHOOL GOVERNANCE TEAM MEETING
Our School Site Council will meet this Thursday at 4:15 p.m. via Zoom with code 858 935 2650. At the end of the SSC Meeting, our School Governance Team (SGT) will meet. This is a more formal way to be involved with the decision making process at Taft. This is a public meeting and all are welcome to attend. A copy of our agenda is attached in this communication.

PROGRESS REPORT 2 FOR TERM 2 COMING UP
The grading period for Progress Report 2 is coming up very soon. Grades will be available on Power School on Friday, December 11, 2020. It is very important that students keep with their assignments and for our families to be in communication with our teachers during this time. Even though the school is closed, we want our teaching and learning is still at the heart of our work. If you have any concerns about your child’s grades, please contact your student’s teachers via email. Any other concerns may be directed to our Counselor, Mrs. Sanchez at [email protected].
EXPANDED PHASE 1--APPOINTMENT BASED LEARNING
San Diego Unified has extended appointment based learning to secondary schools, including Taft. More information regarding this will be sent this later week as we develop our plan. Any student and/or family invited to participate in appointment based learning must complete an online training.
WINTER BREAK
Winter Break will begin on Monday, December 21, 2020, and end on Friday, December 31, 2020. Online classes will resume on January 4, 2021.
On behalf of the Taft Team, we are looking forward to seeing our students tomorrow!
Thank you and go Eagles!
