Student Achievement California has developed rigorous content and performance standards in all areas of the curriculum. Jacoby Creek School has adopted these and aligned curriculum to ensure that our students are meeting and surpassing them. These types of assessments require students to demonstrate actual skills and are scored according to school criteria. The school assessments will be combined with classroom grades and state test scores to determine proficiency levels of our students. We continue to work toward improving our attendance rate in a variety of ways.
Parents are alerted to problems through excessive absence and tardy forms.
They are also encouraged to utilize independent study contracts when appropriate. Teachers are asked to conference with parents of students who are chronically absent. Ensuring small class size is our school district s highest priority and greatest challenge. We believe that social, emotional and academic growth are strongly enhanced by small class size. In order to provide students with as much individualized attention as possible, grade designated instructional aides, parent volunteers, senior volunteers, and student teachers are utilized in the classroom.
