The evaluation includes scheduled and unscheduled classroom observations. The school discipline plan is reviewed annually by teachers and parents to make sure that it is having the desired impact on student behavior and improved student learning. Students are suspended for serious Education Code Violations. Since the assistant principal's primary responsibility at our school has been to handle student discipline, there has been fluctuations in the number of suspensions due to variances in experience and discipline philosophies among the assistants. In addition, following a boundary change which dropped our enrollment during the 1998-99 school year, our enrollment has continued to increase and with that, so has our number of suspensions.
All students have appropriate textbooks.
New reading, English and language arts materials were purchased for use beginning with the 1997-98 school year. Textbooks are selected from the state-approved list. Teachers participate in the selection process to insure that the books match our district curriculum and content standards. Prior to adoption, all materials are on display so parents and community members have the opportunity to review the materials. Onaga is fortunate to have adequate storage facilities for supplies and miscellaneous items.
