The RCPNA Board will be using these results to help guide us in our priorities for the remainder of this calendar year. Your insights are important to us as our community continues to change and grow. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Clarification on March/April Newsletter Article – Retiring Commissioner Dan Saltzman will not be attending or speaking at the April 3rd Candidates Fair
Some readers have interpreted the mention, in the front page article of the most recent newsletter, of the names of the current City Commissioners (Nick Fish, Position 2; and Dan Saltzman, Position 3) who are holders of the positions up for election on May 15th to inform that Mr. Fish and Mr. Saltzman will be speaking at the RCPNA Candidates Fair event. Commissioner Saltzman is retiring and was never considered to participate. Commissioner Fish has a conflict requiring him to participate in a City budget meeting at that same time. He will be sending a representative in his place.
Thank you

FYI Rose City Park Parents – new Vietnamese dual language immersion option
Dual language immersion (DLI) education provides social, cognitive and academic benefits to children and prepares them to be successful in a global society. Starting in 2018, one of the newest language programs – the Vietnamese DLI program – is moving to our neighborhood: Rose City Park for K-5 students.
Families of students in the Vietnamese program would like to encourage both native Vietnamese-speaking families and non-native speaking families looking for a challenging, engaging, and highly beneficial language and social program to apply. This program seeks an even mix of native and non-native speaking children. Chances of securing a spot in the Vietnamese program have traditionally been higher than the other more established dual language programs of PPS so it presents a great opportunity for families who would like their children to have an increased chance of gaining access to a dual language education.
Students entering kindergarten must apply through the School Lottery between Feb. 7 and March 2 at www.pps.net/schoolchoice and attend an open house at the school. The open house for the Vietnamese DLI program takes place next Tuesday, February 13th from 6-7 pm at Rose City Park (2334 NE 57th Ave).
A current Vietnamese-American family has a kindergartner in the program this year and is happy to answer questions about their experience. Please contact Sarah Tran (st.tran@gmail.com) if you’d like to discuss this program.

(Note that most DLI programs do offer neighborhood families priority if there are more applicants than spots.)
