Volunteers needed for Senior Presentation Day at high school
Valley Center High School needs community panelists for “Senior Presentation Days,” which happens June 1 & 2 on campus.
Seniors have spent most of this semester working on their senior portfolios for this presentation, which includes essays on post secondary goals, writing reflection, a Powerpoint on their career choices, and other items. As a panelist you will have the opportunity to evaluate their presentations using a grading rubric.
The presentations are less than ten minutes long, with a five-minute Q&A following.
According to Craig Adams of VCHS, who oversees the program, “We at VCHS believe that your participation as a businessperson, community member, or parent will give the students a better perspective as to how they may evaluated in a professional job interview situation.”
The emphasis on public performance and written documentation of student work provides a more “formative” kind of accountability for seniors, said Adams.
The students will discuss their perspective on education, their courses of study, present their accomplishments of the school’s “Expected School-wide Learning Results” and share their goals and objectives as they go from high school to college and the real world.
“Senior Presentation Days” will be Wednesday and Thursday, June 1 & 2, 7:30 a.m. –2:07 p.m. Each day there are three block periods of about 2 hours each. Seniors will be interviewed during their English class time in eight different rooms, with three panelists per room.
“Even a commitment to just ONE block period will be helpful,” said Adams. “Of course, we would appreciate it if you could stay longer!” A continental breakfast and complimentary lunch will be provided to all panelists.
To participate, email Socorro Ruiz at ruiz.so@vcpusd.net, or phone her at 760-751-5598. You may also FAX your information to 751 -5506.
The school asks that you sign up no later than Friday, May 27 so they can make the schedule.
They need your name, address, email and phone number to send you the day’s procedures and format so you can familiarize yourself with the process.

For the past 11 years, Supervisor Horn has invited people to join him in commemorating the National Day of Prayer at the CAC flagpole.
The theme for the 60th annual National Day of Prayer is “A Mighty Fortress is our God”.
The commemoration is a personal, not a government function and is for those who choose to participate during their own personal time.

Make Your Thoughts Known on County Redistricting
ONE WEEK LEFT TO SUBMIT COUNTY REDISTRICTING PLANS
Public Can Submit Formal Plans through May 9; Suggestions Welcome After That
With the May 9 deadline quickly approaching, residents are encouraged to submit their County redistricting plans online or in person at one of two Redistricting Advisory Committee meetings before the deadline.
The next meeting–the last in a series of evening meetings around the region–is at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, in the Planning Commission Hearing Room at the County Operations Center Annex, 5201 Ruffin Road, in Kearny Mesa.

Residents may propose a complete plan for the County’s five districts or a partial plan for one or more districts; data should be submitted as an electronic file.
The 2010 Census data for building plans is online at the County’s Redistricting website, along with detailed instructions and definitions. Each publicly-submitted plan will be published online and forwarded to the County’s Redistricting Advisory Committee for consideration.
On May 9, the Redistricting Advisory Committee will begin discussing redistricting plan proposals, and any formal plans they consider will be posted online. Residents will be encouraged to weigh in with ideas and suggestions during this part of the process. Input will be welcome in person at a Redistricting Advisory Committee meeting, by email or by U.S. mail.
A meeting schedule and details on how to submit suggestions are available online.
