Dear Families,
Happy Holidays to you and your relations! I hope you will enjoy learning about what is happening in the Indian Education Program in this December 2021 issue of the Soaring Eagle Newsletter!
This school year we continue to proudly serve students and families in the Indian Education Consortium and are thrilled to be able to return to in-person lessons at most school sites. Public schools in the Indian Education Consortium are investing in our children with the lifelong gift of an education about Native American history and present day experience. “We are still here!”
Our program is supported by federal funds that come from a Title VI grant and Partner District funding which provides site visits beyond the basic format of services. The Indian Education Program is thankful for the additional funding and cooperation from the 180 schools in Ventura County that make up our Consortium.
To learn when a member of the Indian Education staff will be at your child's school, please check the Schedule of Class Visits
