Thank You to our Recent Volunteers!

Janet Jeong in the office is a VOLUNTEER?

Both of Janet's children are JBBP alum (`06 & `09).  Janet began volunteering in the office helping Beth in 2000.  Little did Janet know that her services would continue past her children graduating.  Janet has had a part-time position as a para at Clarendon since 2006.  When you see Janet in the office, all her work is done on her own time and just because.

Thank You to our dynamite Volunteer Office Assistant, Janet Jeong!

As this is the last newsletter that will be in this format before the new website and newsletter are launched, I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the fantastic team of Newsletter Editors I've had the privilege to work with for the last two years.  Lydia Ely, Michelle Levenson, and Edith Enriquez - you all did an excellent job of working with the system and managing all the various last-minute requests from committees, etc.  You are rock stars in my eyes!

Grazie Mille!

Second Community Program

The Second Community Program was founded in 1972 by parents who wanted to extend the cooperative nursery school model—in which parents are key resources on both the classroom and administrative levels—to a public elementary school. Throughout the years, parent participation has been the cornerstone of Second Community's culture. Parents participate in school governance, work in classrooms, and raise funds for the music, art, physical education, and computer/technology programs and Italian language instruction. Their contributions, particularly in the years since state funding for schools has been cut, are essential to the success of the school.

Second Community shares the Clarendon site with another alternative San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) program, the Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP.) Second Community and JBBP are distinct, individual programs with separate teaching staff, parent groups and fundraising. The two programs also share many resources and the teachers relate as one staff.

Families may apply for admission to the school, the Second Community Program or the Japanese Bilingual Bicultural program. In other areas, including test scores and enrollment statistics, the school district treats the combined programs as one school. The current ratio between the populations of students in the two programs is approximately 50% JBBP to 50% Second Community.
