Safety in the Parking Lot
All parking must be on the
street. Brier’s parking lot is only
available to staff, buses
and handicapped placards
and for those using the pick
up/drop off zone. Students
are to use sidewalks when entering or exiting the school.
They are not to be in the parking lot at any time.
The license plates of the following vehicles were
reported:
♦ 5ZNC860 Tan Chevy Tahoe, 4VBK357 Silver
Odyssey van and 6PCG654 Red Toyota Tercel
parked unoccupied next to the “No Parking” sign in
the red zone.
♦ 5TRV032 gray van letting children out in the middle
of traffic.
These parking lot safety rules will be strictly enforced
pursuant to the California Vehicle Code Section 21113A.
Young Authors’ Contest
Fremont Unified Young Authors’ is coming up February
2012 and we need your help. We need volunteer judges
to help pick the winners at Brier, and then to come to
the District event and pick the winners overall.
Judges will be picking up books in the week of
January 25th to 31st. They will take the books home and
judge them, then bring them back to Brier so that we
can pick our winners.
Judges will then be invited to come to a meeting at
Warm Springs on February 8th, where we will pick the
District winners.

Transitional
Kindergarten
On September 30, 2010, the
Governor signed SB 1381
establishing the Kindergarten
Readiness Act which
changed the kindergarten
entry age and established
the Transitional Kindergarten
Program. The new law goes
into effect for the 2012-2013 school year and requires
students to be 5 years old by November 1, 2012.
Students must be 5 years old by October 1, 2013 for the
2013-2014 school year and by September 1, 2014 for the
2014-2015 school year.
SB 1381 also requires school districts to establish a
Transitional Kindergarten program for those students
born between September and December. Attendance is
not required but is encouraged to help students succeed
the following year in a traditional kindergarten classroom.
The curriculum will be based on the California Preschool
Learning Foundations and aligned with the Kindergarten
Standards.
In Fremont, we have established the “High Five”
Transitional Kindergarten program to be implemented in
schools in each attendance area. One or two classes
will be Attendance Area Cluster Transition
Kindergartens. These students would attend transitional
kindergarten the first year and then kindergarten the next
year at their home school. Information regarding the
location of these classes will be provided soon.
Registration will be centralized and priority will be given
to students with November birthdays, then October, and
finally September. The exact date and location for
registration will be announced soon.
