5. Celebrations:
We had a safety drill this morning and all of our students and staff did a great job!

6. Celebrations:
Last year we celebrated our county’s teacher of the year who came from our school.
She now works for us as a coach…kind of like a teacher’s teacher.
Mrs. Mabanag
On August 16th, Two of our staff members were recognized at the district level:
Mr. Luna (for all the support that he’s provided our students in various programs)
Mr. Inoue (for building student leaders who did some amazing anti-bullying work in our school.
We have had many staff recognized and many who have taken on district coaching and administrative positions. This year we got back two excellent teachers who were on leave:
Mrs. Gamez
Mrs. Roberts

7. Celebrations: We met 2 of our 3 WIGs : Wildly Important Goals.
Culture(almost met): Attendance…97% target…. …we had about a ½% growth which is good but we just missed our goal.
Academic (Met): 5% growth on state test in ELA
Leadership (Met): 100% Student Leadership Roles

8. WIGs
Culture: Students will feel better about their school when surveyed about being: Welcomed, loved, trusted, valued, safe, and celebrated. We will set a percentage growth after the initial survey is given.
Academic: 5% Growth in English Language Arts and 5% Math on State Test (CAASPP)
Leadership: 100% of our students will learn the 7 habits well enough to teach them to someone.

9. Celebrations:
The longer you stay with us the more successful the results:
This year’s State Scores looking at growth from 6th grade to 8th grade in ELA: We had the largest growth in the district!!!
Stem students beat out all national subgroup statistics
Nationally: Hispanic 38.6%, White 64.5%, Black 53.4%, Asian 71.2%, Other 62.8%, all 59.7%
Our Program 73.7%
We have an upward trend as students go through the grades at our school.
This means that our program is working.
It also makes sense since we have more than half of our population that is considered English Learners meaning that their first language is not English…Research states that it takes 5-7 years to develop academic language proficiency (3-5 years oral proficiency and 4-7 years Academic proficiency).
Note about Grades: GPA
