From UnidosUS:
"The Trump administration has proposed a rule change that would penalize immigrant families for participating in health, nutrition, and other support programs that help families make ends meet. This proposed change to the definition of public charge is designed to have maximum impact on working families, particularly in communities of color, and their access to the legal immigration system..."
There are 2 things you can do:
#
1. Let people know this proposed change has not gone into effect
.
"Many concerned families have been disenrolling from programs like SNAP out of fear that their enrollment will be held against them... they do not have to disenroll now...we have a
social media toolkit in English and Spanish
t
hat...[can be used] to inform their communities and encourage them not to disenroll from programs that improve the well-being of their families."

2. We have a shot to stop it, and you can weigh in
.
"The government is required to read, count, review, and consider all public feedback before issuing a final rule. Our goal is to generate 100,000 comments [from] across the country" by
December 10
th
."
"UnidosUS has submitted a robust comment letter, and each one of us can do the same. In our
microsite,
you will find a ready-to-send comment
to the Dept. of Homeland Security (the agency that has to review them). Please take action and urge friends and family to do the same!"

"Immigrant families should not be forced to pick between legal status and putting food on the table for their children. And our country should not pick immigrants based on the size of their wallet or the color of their skin."
—UnidosUS
Help us stand against this for the well-being of our families.

raining) is an innovative program with a dual focus of excellence in EL instruction in DI schools, including Dual Immersion (DI) implementation; and SEI implementation, and an explicit focus on “Parent and Community.”
Project DELIGHT establishes a framework for positive, active, and ongoing relationships with students’ families, speakers of English and Spanish and other languages, as well as provides parent education opportunities that reflect the biliteracy and multicultural goals of the DI program.
Perhaps most innovative, Project DELIGHT builds a pathway so that parents are appreciated as strategic partners both inside and outside the DI program classrooms. This is accomplished through PD for administrators, teachers, and parents alike, including
a specific focus on the
Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education
(GPDLE), building cultural proficiency, and parent engagement innovation.
Project Goals and Outcomes
- Develop district and site leadership teams to support improved EL instruction and create excellent DI programs increase in-service teacher capacity to implement instruction using evidence-based strategies to increase EL outcomes
- Engage families to support their children’s learning, and to become school leaders
- Increase outcomes of ELs in English and Spanish language development and their academic achievement in English Language Arts/Reading, and math.

The Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California history, destroyed almost all of the town of Paradise, including 8 of the school district's 9 schools, plus 6 charter schools. Thousands of students, along with teachers, administrators, board members and staff were displaced, and many, if not most, were now homeless, as well.
Students returned to makeshift classrooms on Monday, December 3
rd
. In a memo posted on the district's website, the resilient spirit of this community really shines through:
|
"
Through everything that we have all been through, the one thing we wanted to make sure we could see through is that our students be reunited with their PUSD teachers. We assure you that, even through our own trauma, we have been working to keep this promise to you…these facilities are clean, safe, will be staffed with experts in trauma and social emotional support for both students and staff, and additional supports as needed…."
"Please know that you are in our thoughts as we work together to start rebuilding our community.
The essence of PUSD was never its buildings; it was always the people inside them, so we feel that we can give a quality PUSD education no matter where we land..."
"We understand how important communication is during this difficult time. We are here to serve you. We are not going anywhere.
WE ARE RIDGE STRONG!
Please take care of yourselves [sic] and your families…"
