Important Notice 

We will not have summer school on Monday, June 19, 2023 due to 

the Juneteenth Holiday. Enjoy the 3 day weekend!!

No tendremos escuela de verano el lunes 19 de junio de 2023 debido al feriado del 16 de junio. ¡¡Disfruta del fin de semana de 3 días!!

Memorial Day Weekend is approaching which means the beginning of summer for many of us.
In the Central Valley, heat and water go hand in hand and we want to make sure that everyone
is safe as they take part in water activities.
Ya se aproxima el fin de semana del Día de los Caídos (Memorial Day), lo que significa el
principio del verano para muchos de nosotros. En el Valle Central, el calor y el agua van de la
mano y deseamos asegurarnos de que todos estén a salvo mientras participan en actividades en
el agua.

The easiest way to remember how to be water safe is to follow the ABCs of Water Safety.
La manera más fácil de recordar cómo mantenerse a salvo en el agua es seguir los ABCs de la
Seguridad en el Agua.

A – Adult Supervision. This means adults are actively watching children, no distractions. No cell
phones, no reading or anything that will prevent the adult from giving their undivided
attention.
A de Adulto para la supervisión por los adultos. Esto significa que los adultos deben estar
activamente supervisando a los niños, sin distracciones. Los adultos no deben utilizar teléfonos
celulares, no deben estar leyendo ni haciendo nada que les impida prestar toda su atención.

B – Barriers. Barriers buy you time to get to the child if a lapse in supervision occurs. Children
are fast and very smart about getting away from adult supervision. If we are around a
swimming pool, the best barrier is a four sided isolation fence that is self-closing and self-
latching. Obviously, we cannot fence rivers and lakes. The best barrier for open bodies of water
is following all signage posted. If it says “No Swimming” – that means no swimming. Look for
lifeguards on duty as they are an additional set of eyes. Remember, lifeguards are not
babysitters; family adult supervision is always critical. Another barrier for large bodies of water
is the appropriate size, style and type of an U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket. Anything that
is not U.S. Coast Guard approved is not a life jacket.
B de barreras. Las barreras nos dan tiempo para llegar al niño si ocurre un momento de
distracción durante la supervisión. Los niños son muy rápidos y muy inteligentes para escaparse
de la supervisión de los adultos. Si estamos cerca de una piscina, la mejor barrera es una cerca

de aislamiento que cubra los cuatro lados, se cierre y pase el cerrojo automáticamente.
Obviamente, no podemos colocar una cerca alrededor de un río ni de un lago. La mejor barrera
para una masa de agua abierta es seguir todos los avisos. Si estos dicen “No Swimming”,
significa que se prohíbe nadar. Fíjese si hay salvavidas en persona, ya que son otro par de ojos.
Recuerde que los salvavidas no son niñeras; la supervisión de los familiares adultos siempre es
muy importante. Otra barrera para las masas grandes de agua es un chaleco salvavidas
apropiado, de la talla, del estilo y del tipo aprobado por la Guardia Costera de los Estados
Unidos. Cualquier otra cosa que no esté aprobada por la Guardia Costera de los Estados
Unidos, no es un chaleco salvavidas.

C – Communication and Classes – Communication means clearly communicating who is
watching the children and who is not. Classes proactively mean swimming lessons for children
and adults. Remember to check with your community parks and recreation departments for
free or low-cost swimming lessons that may be available. Another important class for everyone
to know is CPR.
C de comunicación y clases. La «comunicación» significa que debe comunicar claramente quién
está supervisando a los niños y quién no. Las clases de natación son muy importantes para los
adultos y para los niños. Recuerde consultar con los departamentos de parques y recreación de
su comunidad para clases de natación gratuitas o a bajo costo a su disposición. Otra clase
importante para todos es saber la reanimación cardiopulmonar.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Remember, drownings are 100% preventable. Please stay safe!
¡Feliz fin de semana del Día de los Caídos! Recuerde que los ahogamientos son 100% evitables.
Por favor, ¡manténganse a salvo!

Don’t forget to schedule
your child’s required
dental check-up!

What is the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment (KOHA)?

To make sure your child is ready for school, California law requires that children have a dental check-up
by May 31 in either kindergarten or first grade, whichever is their first year in public school.

Poor oral health can affect a child’s attendance, grades
and overall performance in school. The KOHA helps ensure
children are healthy and ready for a successful school year.

SCHOOL READINESS FACTS:
• Children who have poor oral health often miss more school
and receive lower grades than children who don’t.
• Children with cavities may also have difficulty eating, talking,
and concentrating in school.
• Healthy smiles make children feel confident and good
about themselves.
• Establishing good oral health habits in childhood helps
create a lifetime of healthy smiles.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE KOHA:
• Look out for a registration form that will be distributed
when you register your child for school.
• Visit or find your dental home.
• Complete a dental check-up 12 months before
entering public school for the first time or by
May 31st of their first year (Kindergarten
or 1st Grade).
