Parents' Guide to Arts Education
The California Education Code requires it, but what should students be receiving in arts education at each grade level? California State PTA – in partnership with Create CA – is pleased to launch the newly revised Parents’ Guide to Arts Education in California Public Schools.
This reader-friendly guide provides an overview of what children across the state should learn in the arts disciplines of dance, music, theatre and the visual arts by the end of each grade level.
The Parents’ Guide to the Visual and Performing Arts in California Public Schools was created with parents, guardians and families of students in the California public school system in mind. By using the guide, they show that all students – not just the talented – should have the opportunity to express their unique individuality through creating and learning in and through the arts.

Mira Mesa Cluster Schools
What is a School Cluster?
In the San Diego Unified School District, schools are organized into clusters for greater community cohesion. Clusters consist of a high school and the middle and elementary schools that feed into it.
Clusters ensure that there is continuity for the neighborhood students in the pre-K-to-12 program.
Cluster councils promote the schools in their communities.
Cluster councils work with schools, community and district staff to improve the quality of their neighborhood schools.
Cluster councils are a democratic representation of the school community including teachers, administrators, support staff, students, parents and community members.
Together, the Mira Mesa Cluster School (MMCS) Council’s teaching and learning community excels in providing the highest quality education for all children. MMCS believes that sharing the responsibility of education among school personnel, students, parents and other community members is essential to maximize student achievement. MMCS emphasizes meeting the diverse academic, social and personal needs of our cluster schools.
Meetings are generally attended by school principals (or associate principals), parents/caregivers, and representatives from community groups such as the Mira Mesa Town Council, Mira Mesa Library, and the MCAS Miramar School Liason.
All are invited to attend Cluster meetings, which take place throughout the school year. Meetings are scheduled for the following dates/locations:
