Aspire Summit Charter Academy California Department of Education School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2016-17 School Year 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 and 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 http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners). Internet Access 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 may 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. James Olney, Principal Principal, Aspire Summit Charter Academy About Our School About Our School I am privileged to have the opportunity to lead Summit Charter Academy. I feel honored to work with such highly qualified staff, our wonderful students, and all our supportive families. The elementary years set the foundation for all future learning success and I look forward to working with all of you to make this school year successful. Summit Charter Academy is one of thirty-seven Aspire Public Schools, serving students in Modesto and the surrounding communities. It is focused on academic rigor, project-based learning, and socio-emotional development. Summit is committed to building a safe, joyful learning environment. Every staff member is committed to ensuring that all scholars succeed academically and emotionally so that they will become knowledgeable and caring citizens. College For Certain serves as the motto for our college preparatory school. We believe college should be the expectation, not the exception, and we partner closely with families and the community to put a college education in reach of every student. Summit Charter Academy is a small school and works to create a sense of a close-knit community. Classes are looped to enable teachers to work with the same students over a two-year period and really get to know them. A personalized learning plan is developed for every student and ongoing assessment is built in a continual cycle of inquiry. Summit teachers receive ongoing, extensive training and coaching. They use a collaborative model in teaching teams to plan and implement the Common Core standards and 21st Century skills. This year we will continue to focus on strategies to increase student s achievement by diving deeper in the Common Core Standards, providing exciting enrichment opportunities, and integrating technology to enhance 21st century skills. We continue to focus on C.A.R.E.S. and our positive behavior interventions to help foster a nurturing, safe environment for our students. We look forward to working with you to ensure the best possible education. It is important that you get involved in your child s education by becoming involved in our parent organizations and/or volunteering. We will be happy to find an area that you will be interested in.
