The School of Engineering and Sciences PTSA Rocket Boosters is
part of the national PTA organization committed to supporting
children from birth through age 18.
Your voting membership affects not only the approximately 400
students at the School of Engineering and Sciences but also
affects the approximately 9 million children statewide and

final reccomendations to the school board.
The California Department of Education recently published a

coursework in English and mathematics. Please select the link

"Cyberbullying" is when a child is tormented, threatened,
harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by
another child, using digital technologies such as the Internet,
or mobile phones.
Many of our parents are enjoying communications with SES via
email. It makes everyone's lives easier and more productive.
However, some of our parents have not shared their email
addresses with us and then we have to make phone calls or send
regular mail.
In a push to keep everyone informed in a timely manner, we are
asking you to help us by providing your email here. It only takes
a minute and it will save the school valuable time and money. If
you are already receiving emails, then we obviously have yours
and you can disregard all this.
