Congratulations to a dozen Pittman Elementary School parents who have graduated from the Parenting Partners Program! The parents, nearly all Spanish-speaking only mothers, participated in a special ceremony last week that fostered bonding among the parents and school leaders. Principal Adrienne Machado conducted the ceremony, in which parents said they had learned better basic parenting practices as well as how to better help their children succeed in school. Parenting Partners is offered in most SUSD elementary schools. Great work Pittman School!

Congratulations to Ms. Machado!!! She was recognized this week as the Distinguished Administrator of the Year by the California Association for Bilingual Education. Ms. Machado  was cited for her passion and effectiveness teaching bilingual students.

Well done Adrienne.”Adrienne received the prestigious award Thursday, February 7th at the Long Beach Convention Center.

Junior League of San Joaquin County helped start the year off right at Pittman Charter School with its Third Annual Ready to Learn Backpack Distribution to kindergarten through third grade students . Each student received a brand new back pack stuffed with school supplies.  The distribution was held on Tuesday, August 14 at 2:45 p.m.

Junior League of San Joaquin County adopted Pittman School in 2009.  Since that time, they have donated books, volunteered as tutors, sent students to Outdoor Education (science camp), organized the reading challenge to motivate students to read, and decorated our school library.
