Macias, President Jan Baird, Clerk Deborah Pacheco, Member Francisco Santana, Member Sharon Stys, Member Teachers have been trained on effective instructional strategies that benefit all students from a variety of research experts such as the Marzano Group, CORE, McMillan McGraw Hill, Action Learning Systems, Thinking Maps, GLAD and our very own district experts, Curriculum Coaches. Children are benefiting from the implementation of special grouping and instructional strategies that allow all students equal access to the curriculum as well as the differentiated instruction they need to succeed. Our parents are involved through PTA, School Site Council, and parent trainings offered at the school and throughout the district. At Loma Vista we will continue our quest to send forth well-rounded, educated individuals ready to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. We are grounded in the beliefs that all students can learn and that failure is not acceptable.

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 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 at (562) 941-4712 or the district office. 2014-15 Student Enrollment by Level Level Kindergarten 82 1 71 2 79 3 58 4 96 5 67 6 66 Ungraded Elementary 11 Total Enrollment 530 2014-15 Student Enrollment by Group Group Percent of Total Enrollment Black or African American 0.6 Filipino 0.6 Hispanic or Latino 97 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 0.2 White 1.7 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged 95.4 English Learners 64.3 Students with Disabilities 13.1 Foster Youth 1.5 A.

The main campus was built in 1938. Classrooms were added in 1949 and 1963. A new restroom building was constructed in 2001. District maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. An automated work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. In addition, the district s membership in Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) property and liability collaboration provides annual site inspections. The district s Board of Trustees has adopted cleaning standards for all schools. The principal works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. During the summer of 2013, the main building and one wing of classrooms was repainted. The lunch shelter outside the newly painted buildings was repaired. New sprinkler pipes were installed and then sod was laid. Increased security fencing was installed during the summer of 2014 which requires all people to enter through the front. The original garage in front of the school was removed and filled in with grass. Upgrades to the band-width are ongoing as the need increases each year. This gives improved internet connection throughout the campus as we move into on-line assessments.

All personnel are trained in emergency procedures and students take part in regularly scheduled emergency drills. Food, water, medical and other emergency supplies are updated annually to ensure each campus is ready to respond in the event of an emergency or disaster. Loma Vista participated in the California Shake Out last October and practiced school emergency response with a disaster scenario developed by the principal. The school is carefully monitored before, during and after school hours. Break periods and lunch are supervised by school personnel. The school is secured with security fencing. Check-in and check-out procedures are also strictly enforced. The School maintains constructive relationships with law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of all students, staff, and facilities. Furthermore, through Measure W funding (a general obligation bond passed by area voters to upgrade school facilities) the school has upgraded communication systems and radio communication is available at all times. 2014-15 School Accountability Report Card for Loma Vista Elementary SchoolLoma Vista Elementary SchoolLoma Vista Elementary School Page 7 of 9
