Positive learning activities are recognized by special awards and certificates. Student Support Groups, modeled after the Caring About Kids program, are facilitated by certificated and classified staff members to help students through difficult situations. A Conflict Resolution Program in Grades 4-6 trains students in appropriate ways of dealing with conflict. A core group of students serving as Conflict Managers serve duty on recess each day on a revolving basis. A county grant has supported this program by providing training and material.
Students also participate in after school leadership activities.
Student participation is greatly encouraged with Track Club, Homework Club, School Buddies, and Bobcat Citizenship Superstars. Parent participation is strongly encouraged with School Site Council, Parent Teacher Organization, English Language Council, Parent Forum, Volunteer Program, Second Cup of Coffee, and Safety Committee. 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. Secondly, each school also works on curricular refinements and provides appropriate staff training to ensure quality implementation.
