Joe Michell - IB World School

Joe Michell School, a Primary and Middle Years International Baccalaureate Programme School, K-8 public school in Livermore, CA. We have a very active P.T.O.

Joe Michell School is an older, classic neighborhood school nestled in the heart of a middle to lower middle class suburban neighborhood in Livermore, California. The neighborhood is home to a very diverse population. Many of the local residents are senior citizens who bought their homes when they were new and are now enjoying their retirement years. They sent their children to Michell School and

a generation later walks their grandchildren to school. Several volunteer at the school with fundraising or working in the classrooms. The neighborhood has changed in recent years with an influx of young families and new immigrants to this country. The demographics of the neighborhood are reflected in the school’s population. The school has a significant Hispanic subgroup. Michell is a Title I school, which means many children qualify for free and reduced lunch. The part-time staffs include a librarian, a computer specialist, a school nurse, a psychologist, a PE specialist, an adaptive P.E teacher, a Kid Connection Child Advocate and a bilingual aide. We have several full-time special education instructional aides and a resource specialist, and a speech therapist. We also offer a fully integrated Gifted And Talented Education (GATE) program, which is further supported through our after school academic enrichment program. The primary sources of financial support for the school are state and federal funds including SLIP (School and Library Improvement Program) and Title I funds. The Parent Teacher Organization fundraises throughout the year to help buy instructional materials and the items necessary for children’s learning. The School Site Council allocated funds from the SLIP budget to support the Kid Connection program as well as educational programs at the school. Parental involvement is very important at Joe Michell. who supports many facets of our educational programs by raising funds and they volunteer in classrooms. P.T.O. has raised money for many school activities, assemblies, library books, as well as paid for instructional materials.

Hello Anna, Tracy, FJMS members and donors,
My paras, students and I are so thankful for all that you have done to support us this year. You put in a great deal of time and care to help hundreds of Joe Michell Eagles. For my thirteen, you made this year one of their most memorable yet by funding our trip to Ravenswood. My students had so much fun and experienced things that were totally new to them... trying on Victorian clothes, peeling apples, pressing cider, playing the way children hundreds of years ago did. It was unlike anything I'd ever done with my students before. Such a special experience that I got teary eyed on the drive back to school. And only possible because of you!

FJMS has been a huge help with our community project, too. Mr. Nakamura and a couple of other volunteers whose names I didn't catch helped manage students as they moved tanbark, and did plenty of the heavy lifting themselves. It turned a job that would have taken my class weeks into one that was completed in a couple days. Thank you- Celine Yates
