In grade level and cross grade level groups, our staff continuously examines student performance data. The results of that analysis inform teaching strategies and support programs to close gaps or extend concepts for individual students. Trends that can be generalized among grade levels or even schoolwide dictate the focus of professional development. Further quality review involves our Site Council and parent leaders in examination of California standards, student work, rubrics, assessment data, and professional development and its relationship to instructional improvement. This process allows us to clearly articulate the critical roles staff, students, and community must play in a genuine learning community. Based on this practice, we consistently engage in collective inquiry through data-driven analysis of outcomes. We measure excellence by results and hold ourselves collectively accountable for student achievement. Our school motto First in Excellence, First in Pride is shared by students, staff, and the local community. It plays a fundamental role in the instructional program. Parents, community members, and staff work closely together to exemplify for our children that school is an important place and that our school is a learning community for all.
