School Description and Mission Statement Most Recent Year El Toro Elementary School is situated in the western foothills of Morgan Hill between commercial, greenbelt, suburban homes, and apartments. Our kindergarten through sixth grades, multiage Autistic classroom, Pre-school/Kindergarten Autism classroom, and Transitional Kinder are housed in 24 classrooms. Our children come from many diverse backgrounds from throughout the valley. The staff at El Toro firmly believes that all of our students can be successful and strives to provide a strong curriculum based on the California Common Core State Standards. The staff works with families to educate the whole child. They promise to provide a safe, caring, yet challenging and progressive educational experience for all students. They work as a team of parents, educators, and community members to develop educated, responsible students who will be our citizens of tomorrow. The El Toro Elementary staff and community believe that students should always be respected. They also believe that they learn best in a safe, engaging, caring, and supportive environment, that powerful learning takes place when students connect life experiences with learning, and that students need clear and high expectations with multiple pathways in which to learn. They believe that strong positive communication builds bridges and that learning is a lifelong process. The partnership between students, parents, teachers, and the community is an important component for student success. We are consistently working to maintain a positive learning environment and grow student achievement using researched based and results driven best practices to deliver high quality instruction/assessment in math and reading. We are staying focused on providing lessons to meet the diverse needs of our children and learning the best ways to teach children as a learning community. Our school focuses on the three factors of high achieving schools: direct explicit instruction, the response principle, and a multi-source curriculum. We believe children need to talk about their learning both during direct instruction, hands-on activities, and in small group instruction. El Toro is a very unique school in that our school culture represents a kind, caring and collaborative environment. This is directly modeled by our teaching staff to students, parents and community as a whole. We value the importance of a calm, controlled and engaging learning environment that promotes students thinking rather than memorization without meaning. Our school maintains one of the highest positive attendance rates in the school district. Our After School service provider programs supports reading, math, and homework intervention four days a week using, computer-assisted instruction and small group instruction from teachers and paraprofessionals. Our students attended Science Camp and we have an annual school play. Our school-wide intervention practices include 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and multiage reading and math support. Our Home and School Club has been very active in fundraising and organizing community events. Our school continued to strive to increase our student attendance rate, which reflects our belief in students being present as a core contributor to student success. We identify GATE students based on multiple criteria: Intellectual, Specific Academic, High Achievement, Creativity, Leadership, and Visual and Performing Arts. We use standardized test results as well as anecdotal data to assess students. The core curriculum is differentiated and based on challenging standards that exceed the state standards. Services are an integral part of the school day and may be augmented by a pullout program for special activities outside the classroom, afterschool enrichment, or independent study projects. We have one full-time Resource Specialist Program (RSP) teacher and one assistant who work with our special education students. We have a speech therapist five days a week and a psychologist three days a week. Resource students stay in the regular classroom as much as possible, but come to the RSP classroom to work in small groups or one on one in their area of difficulty. In the regular classroom they receive accommodations according to their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Examples include more time to take tests, sitting close to the teacher, or altered homework. Our resource students have mild to moderate learning differences. We currently have one Special Day Class for students in grades four through six. We provide Designated Instructional Services in occupational therapy and adaptive PE as necessary. We also have a preschool speech program. Our teachers deliver instruction to our English learners with a focus on addressing language development and acqiusition through an ELD period and core content instruction. Designated teachers teach English Language Development (ELD) intensively during 1 instructional period(45 minutes) to English Learners based on individual CELDT levels. All of our English learners are in regular classrooms and we provide differentiated instruction to their level of comprehension. All of our teachers attend seminars that address ways to present subject matter to English learners, and we plan further training and professional development in instructing the ELD standards. Many of our English learner students have intervention opportunities via computer based programming to supplement the daily primary instruction. We encourage the parents of English learners to join our English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC). We depend on the ELAC to help improve and expand our ELD program as our English learner population continues to grow.

Our campus provides multiple opportunities for our parents to contribute to our school community. Parents can join our School Site Council, which functions as a strategic governing body which is composed of parents, teachers and administration to plan implement and evaluate funding and instructional programming. Parents of English learners are vital to our ELAC specifically and in general are a critical component of our overall learning community.in addition, classroom parents help to organize parent volunteers to help with special projects in the classroom and chaperone on field trips. Also our Home and School Club organization serves to encourage parent contributions by fundraising, supporting school programs and providing community building activities for all of our families. We purchase technology and other literary materials for the library through Home and School fund-raisers such as our school-wide book fair In addition, we encourage parent to join committees such as our Olweus Bullying Prevention Committee to build a full range of stakeholder input as we make impacting decisions for our learning community.. We ask all parents to attend Back-to-School Night in the fall, Open House in the spring, and parent-teacher conferences in November.
