2 I. Data and Access Ed-Data is a partnership of the CDE, EdSource, and the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) that provides extensive financial, demographic, and performance information about California s public kindergarten through grade twelve school districts and schools. DataQuest is an online data tool located at that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district, the county, and the state. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., Academic Performance Index (API, Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), test data, enrollment, graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners. Internet Access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible; e.g., the California State Library. Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used, depending on availability, the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents. II. About Los Osos Middle School School Description and Mission Statement Our commitment to the middle level child at Los Osos Middle School is best expressed through our mission statement: At Los Osos Middle School, we advocate the academic, cultural, and pre-vocational development of each student in an environment that fosters personal growth appropriate to early adolescence. We offer our students a comprehensive academic and co-curricular program designed to meet the rigorous California State Standards and Benchmarks while providing co-curricular opportunities to support student interests and strengths. To this end, we have a wide array of opportunities, both curricular and co-curricular, to support our students. Our facilities boast a beautiful library for student use, three computer labs, a multipurpose room, gymnasium and fitness center, all of which are set in a picturesque and historic corner of Los Osos, neatly tucked amongst the protected lands of a Chumash Indian archeological site and a nature preserve. Because of our facilities and central location, our campus is a hub of extracurricular activities for the Los Osos/Morro Bay communities. Los Osos Middle School serves 7 th and 8 th grade students and offers each a six-period day. Students begin with an Advisory period where character education, school activities and other current school information are discussed. Each student chooses from a wide variety of elective options and participates in challenging core curriculum throughout their day. Our 7 th graders take a wheel elective comprised of: art, home economics, drama, and computers. Our 8 th graders can choose between band, choir, art, home economics or student leadership. Additionally, we provide EL support with ELD English. For other students, we also provide a Reading Skills class to compliment the students math and English classes. Our staff, together with our School Site Council, has set goals to be met in each classroom and throughout the campus. Our Teacher Collaboration Late Start Mondays, provide the institutional structure to support staff development, staff meetings, team meetings, and department meetings. We are committed as a staff to analyze the individual needs of our students through a Response to Intervention (RtI) process, and provide instruction and remediation when necessary to guide each student to success. Students of all ability levels are successfully transitioned from an elementary environment and prepared for a high school environment. Opportunities for Parental Involvement Parents and community members are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the school community's work. A volunteer coordinator assists in providing opportunities for parents. Parents are encouraged to help teachers in classrooms, volunteer in the office, and provide support at special student events. We also have a Parent/Teacher/Student/Association (PTSA) that meets bi-monthly to discuss campus issues, support our teachers and fundraise. In addition, our School Site Council includes parents, students and community representatives who take an active roll in determining the direction of the school. Parents may contact DeeDee Narzisi at to volunteer time or to inquire about volunteer opportunities on campus, or check the school s newsletter.

Student Performance Please note scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy, or to protect student privacy. In no case shall any group score be reported that would deliberately or inadvertently make public the score or performance of an individual student. California Standards Tests The California Standards Tests (CSTs) show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. The CSTs include English-language arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11; science in grades 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11; and history-social science in grades 8, 9, 10, and 11. Student scores are reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding CST results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, can be found on the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results Web page at California Modified Assessment (CMA), an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards in ELA for grades three through eleven; mathematics for grades three through seven, Algebra I, and Geometry; and science in grades five and eight, and Life Science in grade ten. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) includes ELA and mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The assessments under the STAR Program show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. On each of these assessments, student scores are reported as performance levels. For detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, see the CDE STAR Results Web site at Los Osos Middle School School Accountability Report Card

10 XI. Instructional Planning and Scheduling Professional Development The district has funded an extensive professional development program using federal Title I Professional Development funds, Title II Teacher Quality funds, Title III Limited-English-Proficient funds, district funds, and site monies. All staff members have access to the comprehensive Professional Development Calendar that is developed annually. The district s focus for staff development has been concentrated in the areas of Common Core State Standards, assessment, writing, mathematics, reading and mathematics interventions, and support for high quality classroom instruction. Although most of our students are achieving at high levels, some of our student populations are not. This data has provided the impetus for our District Initiatives and staff development. Professional development days are scheduled annually to provide needed training. Various methods of support are provided to assist teachers with the implementation of professional development goals, including the following: Weekly collaboration time for all teachers; Release time using substitutes; Student performance data reports available in Data Director; Assistance from EL Specialists, Instructional Coaches, and Teachers-on-Special Assignment. Professional development days are scheduled annually to provide training on specific curricular areas, and/or assessment. The School Accountability Report Card (SARC), required by law to be published annually, contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. More information about SARC requirements is available on the SARC Web page at For additional information about this school, parents and community members should contact the school principal or the district office.
