The primary focus of the Santa Barbara Community Academy is to provide a carefully planned, stimulating and highly engaging student environment which will help children develop within themselves the foundational habits, attitudes, skills, and ideas which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning. The school’s Core Knowledge trained teachers attend and contribute to seminars, workshops, and national
conferences in order to maintain and continuously develop their own understanding of the needs of children and how the Core Knowledge curriculum better prepares them for their, and our, future.

|
Beginning October 13th!
Free English and Computer Classes for Non-English Speaking Parents:
Beginning October 13, free Community-Based English Tutoring (CBET) basic English and introductory computer classes will be offered by Ken Greenberg, the districts' CBET coordinator/teacher.
The English classes that the CBET program offers combine reading, writing, and communication skills with lessons on tutoring junior high and high school students. These multilevel English classes cater to adults with limited English skills. Every CBET class focuses on building parental tutoring skills and each week parents are required to list how much time, and in what subject, they have been tutoring their children. "We want parents to become proficient in English and CBET will help them support their child's success in school,"; stated Ken Greenberg. The classes will include field trips and guest presentations.
The CBET program will also offer computer classes that introduce parents to the use of e-mail, internet searches, and a variety of other common computer features. These computer classes, like the CBET English classes, feature tutoring as a focal part of the class.
Parents are encouraged to sign up for one English class and, if possible, one computer class. CBET classes will be held at Dos Pueblos, San Marcos, and Santa Barbara high schools. These free sessions begin on October 13 and will run weekly through December 19. For more information on the schedule, contact Ken Greenberg, CBET coordinator/teacher, Santa Barbara School Districts, (805) 963-4338, ext. 251, cbet@sbsdk12.org
