Elementary SchoolsThe District offers many different water quality education resources to area schools. These include:
- In-class resources such as activity books, a clean stormwater DVD, and maps
- Classroom and assembly presentations
- Clean Stormwater mini grants
The District has created age appropriate materials, which complement a staff-lead Power Point presentation. The presentation focuses on our watershed, local water resource and pollution prevention. The information presented corresponds to the Science Framework for California Public Schools for Earth Science Standards 3.a, 3.b., 3.c., 3.d., 3.e., 5.a., & 5.b., Physical Science 1.a., 1.b. & 1.g. and Life Science 2.e., 2.f. & 2.g. The education program is a component of the District’s Public Involvement and Education (PIE) program. The goal of the PIE program is to reduce storm water pollution, educate students about their environment and resource conservation, and to instill a sense of environmental stewardship.
5th grade classroom materials package
 The District is pleased to offer a set of classroom tools for 5th grade that align with the State of California's Earth Sciences standards. Class sets of water resources activity booklets, water cycle posters, pencils and a 5-minute DVD are available upon request.
The 24-page activity booklet and 48"x36"  poster were developed with the expertise of local teachers and use local water resources and landmarks to explain how our community's water works and how to keep it clean. Contact us to let us know many activity booklets, posters, pencils and DVDs you and your fellow teachers need.
Please help us make the new "From the Mountains to the Valley" water resources activity booklet as useful in the classroom as it can be! Give your opinion by filling out and e-mailing the brief evaluation form.
