Aztec Readers Program
now-February 27, 2012
The Aztec Readers program began this week and runs through Monday, February 27th. Your student(s) will have brought home a log sheet this week. Please encourage them to read as much as possible over the next two months. Volunteers will be keeping track of the number of hours read and will be tracking them school wide to see how many hours of reading our Aztecs can complete in two months.

New California Child Safety Seat Law Effective 01/01/2012, California Law SB 929 (Evans) requires children under the age of eight to be properly buckled into a car seat or booster seat in the back seat. In addition, children aged eight or older who are not tall enough for the seat belt to fit properly (4’9” or taller) must ride in a booster or car seat. The previous law required that children remain in a booster seat until the age of six or until they weighed 60 pounds. The fine for violating this law is significant. For each child under the age of 16 who is not properly secured, parents (if in the car) or the driver can be fined a minimum of $475 and get a point on their driving record. Properly buckling your children in before every trip in your car is critical. Thousands of children are injured or killed every year by safety seats that are improperly fastened by parents or caretakers. Remember, most collisions occur within a mile of the home - so buckle your child in a safety seat for every trip, no matter how short. If you're not confident of how to properly secure your child in a safety seat, contact your local CHP Area Office, and set up an appointment for a lesson. Click the Division you're in, then click the "Area Offices" link - the address and phone number for every CHP Area Office in your Division will display. Find your local Area Office anywhere in California on this page. For more information about car seats, the new law, or help in determining if your child still needs a booster seat, call your local health department or go to the California Department of Public Health’s web site.
