Sequoia Middle School

What's new at local schools

For the coming school year, Woodside High School will join two other high schools on the Peninsula in offering students career technical education courses from Project Lead the Way, a specialty curriculum of science, technology, engineering and mathematics that is funded by donations from major corporations to a nonprofit based in New York. Eighty-six Woodside High students used the summer to get another year of mathematics under their belts through the math acceleration program. The school ran one class of second-year algebra, one of pre-calculus, and two of geometry, mostly for incoming freshmen who did not have a chance to take geometry in middle school, Mr. Reilly said. Formerly superintendent of the elementary school district in Mountain View, Mr. Ghysels oversees four schools: two in Atherton (Encinal, a K-5 school, and Laurel, K-3) and two in Menlo Park (Oak Knoll, K-5, and Hillview Middle School, grades 6-8). Encinal has 772 students enrolled, up slightly from a year ago. There are seven new teachers: Emily Chiet in instrumental music, Lucia Nestler in kindergarten, Esme Collier and Sasha Vargas in third grade, and Marisyn Camper, Alicia Flynn and Jessica Schmidt in fifth grade. Krystina Kimes is the school nurse. Oak Knoll has about the same number of students as last year, 723, and a few new staff members. They are: Ms. Chiet in instrumental music; Amy Austin, who is re-joining the kindergarten team; and Jayd Almquist in art. Shantal De Silva is the speech/language therapist. October will be a no-homework month at Oak Knoll. A new emphasis is being placed on learning a life skill each month by reading multicultural literature. Las Lomitas in Atherton has 674 students in K-3, two new classrooms, and nine new teachers to help accommodate the growth. Ashley Button is teaching kindergarten and Michelle Donecho is teaching first grade, as are two former substitutes, Colene McKeon and Rebecca Holland.
