BY JAN 29: Annual School-Wide Survey!
|
|
NOTE: one survey per family. Use average answers when you have more than one child at Miraloma.
This survey is very valuable input for the SSC and PTA in making budgeting choices. Not only does it allow you to give specific feedback which helps us improve our school, it also ties directly into our Balanced Score Card (measuring our
progress against our goals as a school) which is how SFUSD determines our funding.

| Recess Volunteers Needed |
In years past, Miraloma had a team of recess volunteers (parents, family members, guardians) who supervised various activities on the yard helping to create a positive space for all of our students. Coach Justin and I hope to get this started again this semester.
At Miraloma, we have two recesses called "morning recess" and "lunch recess." We need at least 25 volunteers so that each recess is appropriately staffed and supported by adults.
You need absolutely no experience to be qualified for this. Playworks will train all volunteers.
Morning Recess:
K-3: 9:20am-9:40am --- NEED TWO VOLUNTEERS
4-5: 9:45am-10:05am --- NEED ONE VOLUNTEER
Lunch Recess:
K-1: 11-11:20am --- NEED ONE VOLUNTEER
2-3: 11:30-11:50am --- NEED ONE VOLUNTEER
4-5: 12-12:20pm --- NEED ONE VOLUNTEER
Contact us if you can volunteer!
