Permanent teachers are evaluated every two years and probationary teachers are evaluated each year. We have an active student council which directs student body activities and programs to enhance the school spirit. Our computer lab provides training and more time in educational technology and word processing to our students. Several software programs are provided to enhance skills in several areas, including language arts, math, science, social studies, etc. All computers in the lab have Internet access.
All classrooms have access to the Internet on four computers to enhance learning opportunities.
Parent participation is a goal at our school. Two parent volunteer workshops were provided this fall and winter to give parents confidence and knowledge when they help in the classroom. We strive to get more parents to read to their children at home and to provide opportunities for helping their academic success. First, as curricular innovations are mandated by the California State Department of Education, a District initiative in that area is carried out to guarantee curriculum development and teacher training. Through the use of Summer Institute, District inservices and grade level meetings, each teacher receives training for the implementation of the District initiative.
