Good Evening Tiger Families, 

This is Principal Berrett and I wanted to share a few items as we close out this school year. First, a thank you to all of our students and families for your perseverance and positivity despite challenges. We are proud of all of our Tigers, and grateful for your support during this school year. 

As was mentioned previously, we do not hold promotions in Fresno Unified. It is customary for us to have an awards ceremony at the end of the year, but is restricted in current circumstances. However, we have a few items to share with our Tigers for a job well done this year.  

For students that are in cohorts A and B on campus, these students have been turning in their books to the library and should have received a T-Shirt once they turned in their books. 8th grade students have been receiving a yard sign as well. Next week on Wednesday and Thursday, these students will receive a Poster that contains all of the names of the students here at Computech in a mural. We do not have a traditional yearbook this year, so this is a poster to memorialize all of our students here this year. At the end of the day on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, students that have earned certificates for Merit, Honors, and High Honors, as well as those that have earned Principal’s Medallions, will receive their awards through their last period class. 

Students that are in Cohort C and have remained over distance will have a drive through event. Eighth grade students in cohort C have a drive through drop off and pickup at Computech on Thursday, June 10th between 5pm and 7pm. Seventh grade students in cohort C have a drive through drop off and pickup at Computech on Friday, June 11th between 5pm and 7pm. At that event, cohort C students will receive their posters, may return items such as textbooks, pick up their T-shirts, and receive any awards that they may have earned. We have included a map that provides directions for this event and we ask that all cars enter from Church and Fairview onto Belgravia and make a right turn through the West Field gates (see attached map). 

If there are questions or concerns, as always, you can reach out to our office at 457-2640 Monday-Friday from 8am to 4pm. 

Thank you and have a great evening!

​Good Evening Computech Tiger Families,
 
This is Principal Berrett wishing you a Happy Memorial Day. A special appreciation goes out to those who have served our country in various capacities and have sacrificed for our freedom and safety.

We are now headed into the last two weeks of the school year. It has been a challenging year, full of uncertainty, but we are proud of our Tigers and how you have persevered.

As a reminder, students that are remaining in Fresno Unified are able to keep their laptops during the summer. Please take good care of those devices as they will be what you will continue to use for the upcoming school year.

Students that have books to return may return them during school, or they can be dropped off to the office during office hours from 8am to 4pm beginning tomorrow, June 1st through the last day of school, June 11th.

As a Fresno Unified District policy, we do not hold promotion ceremonies in middle schools. However, at Computech it is a tradition that we have awards at the end of the year for our students. We will have a drive through event on the final two days of school, June 10th and 11th,  during which time families will be able to come and pick up awards for your student. Our core teachers have lists of students that have earned end of year awards and will be able to pick them up during the drive through event.

Our main office is open between 8am and 4pm Monday through Friday. If you are in need of support, you can call us at 457-2640. In the event that you are coming to the office, please park in the visitor’s lot directly in front of the office.
 
In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, our quote of the week from spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh, “To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” There is greatness in you, we encourage you to find joy in being the best you can be, and encouraging others to do the same. 

Have a great week Tigers!

Good Evening Computech Tiger Families,
 
This is Principal Berrett hoping that you have had a great weekend.  We are now headed into week 35. There are just 4 weeks left in the school year. Students and families, now is the time to communicate with your teachers about your progress in classes. Let’s finish up the year strong!

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, our quote of the week from novelist, Kaui Hart Hemmings, "Why is it so hard to articulate love yet so easy to express disappointment?" May we all focus on the positive attributes of others and be vocal in recognizing them rather than being critical of others. Let’s pass along encouragement to others. Have a great week Tigers!

Good Evening Computech Tiger Families,
 
This is Principal Berrett wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. This last week we appreciate students giving their best effort on the iReady diagnostic. For students that have not completed both Math and English diagnostics, please continue to work on them to completion. We enjoyed students participating in activities at lunch last week, as well as teacher appreciation week.

We are now headed into week 34. There are just 5 weeks left in the school year. Students and families, please communicate with your teachers about your progress in classes. Let’s finish up the year strong Tigers!

Monday we have advisory at 9am and asynchronous learning following, with small targeted cohorts from 9:30am-12:30pm. Please remember that students have classes every day, whether in person or online.

As a reminder for any and all spectators, you must wear a mask to events and socially distance with anyone outside of your household.

At the end of each day, students that are picked up need to be near the east parking lot, while those that are riding the bus must report to the cafeteria where they are to wait until buses arrive. This ensures that students are supervised and safe. Students should not be wandering off campus or to the high school.

Our Tiger Pantry is available for students that are in need of clothing, school supplies, or hygiene items. You can access that through computechstudents.com under “For Students” and “Tiger Pantry.”

In honor of mental health awareness month, our quote of the week from actress, Lili Reinhart, “You are the one thing in this world, above all other things, that you must never give up on. When I was in middle school, I was struggling with severe anxiety and depression and the help and support I received from my family and a therapist saved my life. Asking for help is the first step. You are more precious to this world than you’ll ever know.” We are proud of all of our Tigers in overcoming challenges and want you to know we are here to help. We love our Tigers and hope you have a great week!

​Good Evening Computech Tiger Families,
 
This is Principal Berrett. This last week our Quarter 4 athletic teams held conditioning and tryouts. We are now headed into week 32.

Monday we have advisory at 9am and asynchronous learning following, with small targeted cohorts from 9:30am-12:30pm. Tuesday through Friday schedules will remain the same. All students in cohort A will be in person on Tuesday and Wednesday, while cohort B students will attend in person on Thursday and Friday. Please remember that students have classes every day, whether in person or online.
  
Transportation schedules are on www.fresnounified.org and we have also put them up on our website at www.computechstudents.com. Please note there is a schedule for Tuesday-Friday in the morning for transportation to Edison/Computech and then there is a schedule for Tuesday-Friday in the afternoon for routes home. There is a separate schedule for Monday targeted groups.

At the end of each day, students that are picked up need to be near the east parking lot, while those that are riding the bus must report to the cafeteria where they are to wait until buses arrive. This ensures that students are supervised and safe. Students should not be wandering off campus or to the high school.
  
Our 4th quarter sports begin practices this week. Students interested should visit our athletics page on www.computechstudents.com/athletics. There you can find schedules for each of the sports, along with contact information for coaches. Students must have an athletic packet turned in to be able to participate in tryouts and practices. There will be two athletic buses that depart at 4:30pm, but will be taking all students home, making multiple stops around the district, so we encourage athletes to be picked up when possible to avoid a very long ride home with a late arrival. Once games start, athletes will need to get picked up on game days as there will not be buses available to take students home on game days.

Our student leadership has created an opportunity for students that are on campus to be able to purchase Jamba Juice. Be on the lookout this week for information for a pre-sale, students in cohort A need to order by April 28th for a May 5th delivery, and cohort B needs to order by April 30th for a May 7th delivery. Students can order Strawberry or Mango smoothies for 3 dollars each. 

So that you are aware, state CAASPP testing has been waived for this year. We will be administering a third iReady diagnostic next week on Tuesday, May 4th and Wednesday May 5th through advisory classes. All students will report to their advisory teacher whether in person or online on those days to take the diagnostic.

Our Tiger Pantry is available for students that may have needs such as clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items. You can put in a request on our website at computechstudents.com under “For Students.”
 
Our main office is open between 8am and 4pm Monday through Friday. If you are in need of support, you can call us at 457-2640. In the event that you are coming to the office, please park in the visitor’s lot directly in front of the office.
 
Our quote of the week from Chinese Philosopher, Lao Tzu, “Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.” ― Lao Tzu. Have a great week Tigers!

Good Evening Computech Tiger Families,
 
This is Principal Berrett. We enjoyed having some of our seventh grade students on campus this last week. Thank you students for your smiles and positive attitudes and for following our safety guidelines on campus. We are now headed into week 30 and we will be welcoming back some of our 8th grade students in person along with our 7th graders this week.
 
Our overall schedule remains the same, with advisory and asynchronous learning on Monday with small targeted cohorts from 9:30am-12:30pm. Tuesday through Friday schedules will remain the same schedules with Tuesday and Thursday odd period classes and Wednesday and Friday even period classes. Students in cohort C that are continuing over distance will continue in the same manner as before the break.
 
This week, all students in cohort A will be in person on Tuesday and Wednesday, while cohort B students will attend in person on Thursday and Friday.
 
For students in cohorts A and B, we ask that families visit www.computechstudents.com and review the Reopening PowerPoint that is located there, which contains information for drop off, passing/break, lunch, and dismissal, along with campus maps and expectations. This has a couple of updates over the weekend as we make adjustments. Prior to coming to campus, please make sure that all students take the health screener. If a student does not feel well on campus, we have to call parents to pick up the student, as they will not be able to ride the bus if they do not feel well. Also a reminder that all students must wear masks and socially distance while on campus.
 
Transportation schedules are on www.fresnounified.org and we have also put them up on our website at www.computechstudents.com. Please note there is a schedule for Tuesday-Friday in the morning for transportation to Edison/Computech and then there is a schedule for Tuesday-Friday in the afternoon for routes home. There is a separate schedule for Monday targeted groups that remains the same as prior to break.
 
For parents that are planning on dropping off your students, please see the map on our website. We ask that cars enter from church and Fairview, enter into the East Parking lot just north of the Hinton Center, circle through the parking lot, and drop your student off  nearest the double gates. This helps to keep traffic flowing.
 
School Site Council Members, we have a scheduled meeting on Monday, April 12th to vote on our Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). That meeting is over Zoom at 6pm Monday. Click here to view the agenda for that meeting, including the link to the meeting.
 
Our Tiger Pantry is available for students that may have needs such as clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items. You can put in a request on our website at computechstudents.com under “For Students.”
 
Our main office is open between 8am and 4pm Monday through Friday. If you are in need of support, you can call us at 457-2640. In the event that you are coming to the office, please call ahead and park in the visitor’s lot directly in front of the office.
 
Our quote of the week from writer, William Arthur Ward, “The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” As we go through each day, let us be people of action, making positive things happen for us and for others. Have a great week Tigers!
