Hello readers and welcome to the Carlé Chronicle, your primary news source for all things Carlé.

Open House will take place on April 3 at Carlé High School starting at 5:30 p.m.

Along with showing the many high points and goals Carlé staff and students have achieved, Konocti Unified officials will be discussing the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), a new funding formula which by asking parents and officials for their input will help shape the future of funding and education for all California schools.

Parents are highly encouraged to attend and give input and show support for their children's education and the future of California standards.

Last week's student of the week was Destiny Cypert, who has shown a great sense of maturity and self-motivation towards her schoolwork.

This week's student of the week is Paul Yanez, who takes the time to help other students succeed while still juggling his own work and Carlé's upcoming play, written by him and fellow student DeAndre Morris.

Here at Carlé, those who pursue their academics to their full potential are awarded Gold level privileges.

Achieving gold level academics requires students to maintain a 90-percent attendance rate and achieve a minimum of 15 credits in a single grading period.

Gold level students receive open-campus privileges during lunch, along with a number of special gold-level trips during  the year.

Our latest gold level trip will have Ms. Shrive and Angie Siegel taking gold-level students to Jellystone Park for a day filled with outdoor fun under the sun.

We'd like to take the time to thank Healthy Start worker Mari Valdez, who is always willing to help students out with their health care and dental hygiene, along with helping our female students with prom dresses and giving all around good advice.

Our staff is preparing to generate senior award titles and plaques, which are each individually designed with each student in mind. The awards will be based on their school achievements and personal interests.   

A big thanks to Dr. Barry Munitz, who generously donated $1000 towards funding these senior plaques.

Many students at Carlé High School are avid readers, and their enthusiasm for literature is well encouraged.

Students and staff alike share their favorite books, short stories, poems, and other literary works with each other to expand their views and find new sources of knowledge and good reading.

This week Carlé readers have been pumped about the novel “Divergent,” a fast-paced and thrilling story by author Veronica Roth set in a futuristic dystopian version of Chicago, where society is divided between five separate factions with their own separate views of the world.

“Divergent” is the first book of the Divergent trilogy, and an upcoming film of the book was released in theaters on March 21.

Students Roy Kirk and Sabrina Farnan designed key chains to give out for donations to fund our prom.

We currently have about 100 keychains ready to sell for $7 each, although buyers have the choice to give larger donations if they please.

Every dollar earned from keychain sales helps fund our school's prom and is very much appreciated.

If any Carlé Chronicle readers want to buy any, call the school to order a key chain at 707-994-1033.
