Our staff strives to provide each student with the skills and assets necessary to meet life s challenges with honesty, integrity, courage, and the desire for intellectual and personal excellence. We continue to provide a standards-based education program while implementing the academic standards that will prepare children to work with others in the 21st century. We believe in providing a safe and supportive learning environment. We believe that everyone has the right to be treated with kindness, respect, and dignity; that perseverance and determination are key to achieving one s personal best; and that open communication builds understanding and supports informed choices. It is also our belief that trust and cooperation are crucial elements for a successful school community and that responsibility and self-discipline are fundamental qualities for success! Pamela Picchiottino, Principal Major Achievements: In the first year of CAASPP testing, 65.3% of Monte Vista Elementary's 3rd-5th grade students nearly met, met, or exceeded standards in English Language Arts. 72.9% of 3rd- 5th grade students nearly met, met, or exceeded standards in Math. We implemented a math-fact fluency program that focuses on students mastery of basic facts, along with a new concept-based math program. For our struggling readers, we instituted an intervention program during the school day to ensure access for all of the students who needed it. This program is developed around the concept of a learning center where all of our resources are available to all students. In the learning center we have trained staff to assist students as well as intervention programs to meet their needs. The intervention programs include READ 180, an intensive supplemental reading program that replaces the basic curriculum and helps accelerate struggling readers; I-Read, a supplemental program provided in addition to the regular reading program to help students meet their grade-level goals; and Systems 44, a program that focuses on the 44 phonemes (sounds) of the English language School Accountability Report Card for Monte Vista Elementary School Page 1 of 9

2 About the SARC By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school at (951) or the district office Student Enrollment by Level Level Kindergarten Total Enrollment Student Enrollment by Group Group Percent of Total Enrollment Black or African American 7.3 American Indian or Alaska Native 0.1 Asian 7.8 Filipino 4.9 Hispanic or Latino 32.9 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 0.9 White 39.4 Two or More Races 6.7 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged 33.3 English Learners 7.7 Students with Disabilities 13.5 Foster Youth 0.2 A.

3 Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year ) Educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade. In California, the State Board of Education (SBE) decides on the standards for all students, from kindergarten through high school, in all public schools. In 2010, a number of states across the nation adopted the same standards for English and math. These standards are called the Common Core State s (CCSS). On August 2, 2010, California s SBE voted to adopt the CCSS with California additions. California has committed to implementing the California CCSS and is currently part of a multi-state assessment consortium that plans on having CCSS-based assessments in place by the school year. More information about the California Common Core State s may be found on the CDE CCSS Web page at On September 4, 2013, the SBE adopted the Next Generation Science s for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Twelve (CA NGSS). School districts have the authority and the responsibility to conduct their own evaluation of instructional materials and to adopt the materials that best meet the needs of their students. All textbooks used in MVUSD are aligned with the State s standards and curriculum frameworks, they are field tested with students and reviewed by administrators, teachers and parents before being adopted by the Board of Education.

The campus has 53 classrooms, a multipurpose room, speech and Resource Specialist Program (RSP) rooms, a computer lab, library, cafeteria, administrative offices, staff lounge, and two play areas. One play area is for kindergarten, while the other is designated for students in grades one through five. Childcare facilities for students are located on campus as well as a preschool class. We have ample space for the number of students enrolled at the school. The district provides upkeep, maintenance, and cleaning services. Schools and rest rooms are cleaned daily, and the principal works with the custodial staff to ensure a clean and safe school. Graffiti is removed as soon as it is discovered. District maintenance staff members pick up litter and maintain landscaping on a regular weekly schedule. Corrective and preventative maintenance is scheduled on a routine basis to keep the school in good repair and working order.

Engagement State Priority: Parental Involvement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Parental Involvement State Priority (Priority 3): Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each schoolsite. Opportunities for Parental Involvement Parents are welcome at school and the school staff sincerely appreciates their support and participation. Parents are encouraged to volunteer in their child s classroom as well as for the many special activities throughout the year. Parents are invited to attend Back-to-School Night in the fall, Open House in the spring, and parent /teacher conferences in November. Several times each year, the principal invites the parents and other community members in to discuss issues. These are informal gatherings and all interests and views are welcome. Parent and community involvement are encouraged through PTA and School Site Council (SSC). The PTA is actively involved in Red Ribbon Week, Reflections, assemblies, book fairs, and activities to enhance school and community spirit, as well as reward and incentive programs. The SSC, which includes five parents and five staff members, purchases additional support curriculum materials. State Priority: School Climate The SARC provides the following information relevant to the School Climate State Priority (Priority 6): Pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates; and other local measures on the sense of safety. School Safety Plan School safety is a high priority at Monte Vista Elementary. Administrators, teachers, and other staff monitor the campus, supervise the students, and ensure a safe learning environment. School Resource Officers are available to respond to the school if necessary. Our computerized calling system, Blackboard Connect, is used to call all families immediately in an emergency. Monte Vista is a closed campus. All gates are locked during the school day. Visitors and volunteers must report to the office for permission to be on campus. All visitors are given badges to identify them. The district holds monthly safety meetings and our School Site Council works on our Safety Plan throughout the year. We adopted a Comprehensive School Safety Plan, which we review annually; our last review was in October The plan was presented to all staff and parents, and we hold numerous student assemblies that address safety issues. Video surveillance cameras across our campus are a deterrent to trespassers, vandalism, and other illegal activities. They also help administrators with discipline issues and help in the investigation of any crimes that occur on campus during the school day or after school hours, making our school safer and more secure.the Spriego reporting system allows parents and students to report problems such as bullying and safety concerns online School Accountability Report Card for Monte Vista Elementary School Page 7 of 9

8 Murrieta Police Department officers teach the DARE curriculum to all fifth graders to give them the skills and confidence necessary to resist the use of alcohol, drugs, and gang involvement. The district has a strictly enforced anti-discrimination policy that prohibits harassment of students or staff based on race, gender, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. To prepare for emergencies, evacuation drills are conducted regularly throughout the school year, and our school actively participates in the statewide Great Shakeout. After each drill, we assess effectiveness and implement new procedures as needed. In addition, the school has an Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan that aligns with the NIMS emergency system. The plan specifies procedures for dealing with fire, flood, earthquakes, lock downs, hazardous materials, disaster recovery organization, and student accountability following a disaster.
