What is ITSA? It is our after school tutoring program that offers
students who need some extra help an opportunity to work with teachers in a much
smaller class setting. The average student to teacher ratio is 10:1.
ITSA has been found to be effective in getting students caught up to where they
should be. If you are interested please contact your child's teacher and
ask them for a permission slip to enroll your child in the program.
Mrs. Childres is the director of our campus' Cougar PAC (Performing Arts
Club). The club has been in existence for three years and gets better and
better each year as more students see productions and want to be a part of this
exciting and rewarding club. Last school year they did two productions; "The
Best Christmas Pageant Ever" in December and "A Giant's Giant Pizza" in March.
This year they will be performing a play Jennifer Payne and Isaac Childres (Mrs.
Childres' son) wrote a few years back. It's a take off on the Cinderella story
and called "If the Shoe Fits?". It stars Jessica Murillo as Cinderella, Jose
Padilla as the Prince, Miranda Padilla as the cruel step mother , Megan Rumple
as the Queen and Darin Bean as the King. Our very own principal, Alfonso
Gamino, is even taking part by playing the Big Bad Wolf! There are 25 members
in the cast and crew and are very dedicated about learning all there is to know
about all aspects of theater. We are looking for a sponsor to purchase T-shirts
for our club. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Virginia
Childres at College Heights School.
College Heights participates in the Boys and Girls club football and
basketball leagues when in season. Try-outs are open to anyone in grades
4-6. College Heights is fortunate to have Coach Henry devote so much time
to our kids. It is fun to watch him take a diverse group of kids and form
them into a tight, cohesive team. He works them pretty good!
Football is over for the year, so look for tryouts next year if you are
interested. Basketball season is going full swing.
All students who are in grades 3 - 6 are invited to run in track. Track
practice is Friday's at the end of the day. Students who have qualified at
our school's track meet for the next meet will compete at Washington Jr. High
for the regional meet. The top two finishers for each event here will run
at the City meet at Bakersfield College. The top three finishers for each
event at BC will qualify to run in the county meet at Taft.

Goals
and Objectives
Today, millions of children return to an empty home after school. When
the school bell rings, the anxiety for parents often just begins. Our
After School Program keeps children safe and out of trouble and also engaged
in enrichment activities. Our goal is to provide a wide array of
benefits to children, their families, schools, and the whole community.
After School Programs help and improve the academic performance of
participating children. Finally, our goal is to provide an educational and
safe environment for children who go to an empty home every day. Also, our
goal is to improve academics, attendance, and positive behavior.
Chess is a fantastic game that helps develop problem solving skills, good
sportsmanship. College Heights Chess Club meets every Friday in room 34
from 2:30 to 3:30. We also hold school wide chess tournaments that are
open to any student in grades 3-6 who would like to play. At the end of
the year, students challenge staff members to a tournament. Last year, it
was close, but the students won!
