We are taking time this week to renew our commitment to adult education and family literacy.   Understanding that lifelong learning is essential to the civic health and economic justice in a community.  And recognizing that a parents' literacy is critical to children's success in schools.

Zanker students and parents convened last week for an evening of teamwork alongside principals, coordinators, and teachers to look at English Learner progress data and to learn how students can become fluent in English.  Principal Lee and Assistant Principal Padilla created an environment to ensure that our  EL students and parents felt valued and included.  They shared how we're all a team (students, parents, teachers and administrators) involved in supporting student success, and how we're dedicated to adult education for parents. Our Culture of We is one in which all are working together to support every student on his or her journey to fluency in English.
