Community support comes in many forms, including monetary donations, donations of merchandise, services and discounts for fundraising opportunities, and the contributrion of time from our many greatly-appreciated volunteers who help on a regular, one time or short term basis. We are able to fund extra educational opportunities for the school and the students that would otherwise not be available. An example of these contributions include computers, library books and lots of time and effort put in to help us pass our recent bond measure. All classrooms are providing more individualized instruction as a result of low class sizes. We are providing tutoring in reading.
Teachers set aside time before and after school for students.
Regular attendance helps students achieve in school and to develop good habits when they enter the work force. Our average enrollment is 383 students. The average class size in California is large compared with other classes in the nation. Sisson School believes class size is important and uses available district resources to maintain appropriate levels. The following are class averages as of January, 1998.
