Shared VisionWe, the members of Valley View Elementary School, through shared decision-making, will create unique and memorable experiences and learning opportunities that will help develop responsible citizens and instill enthusiasm for life-long learning. In order to achieve our goal, we embrace these core values and beliefs, which are the foundation of our common efforts.

Learning: We believe that a quality program along with high parent and teacher expectations for student achievement is a major factor in all students reaching their full potential for academic success. As educators, we will strive to be knowledgeable of the California Standards and informed of the different learning styles of our students so that we might diligently incorporate these into our daily lessons. We believe for optimum student learning to take place all students need to feel valued and safe in a nurturing classroom environment and orderly school environment.

Respect: We will provide a respectful environment for students, staff, and parents, which values our differences, as well as our similarities. We will educate our students to honor and respect the laws and customs of this land, as well as honoring and respecting all peoples and cultures as valuable and contributing members of a free society.

Community: We value a partnership among teachers, home, and community that works to provide all students with the rewards of a quality education that promotes life-long learning. We will encourage and create a positive community school partnership in the effort to find new and better ways to involve, inform, and educate all those interested in fostering a stronger community through the academic success of our students. As educators, we will aim to be positive role models in our classrooms and our community; assisting young learners to become literate adult citizens, able to govern themselves wisely, not just for their own personal gain, but to serve their family, fellow man, and country.

Communication: We believe that clear communication is the foundation for academic and social success in the classroom, school, and community. Communication is a means to encourage and ensure that students meet the high expectations established at Valley View Elementary School. A positive and professional demeanor between parents and faculty, attained through trust, mutual support and teamwork, will further the attainment of these stated goals. An ongoing openness between school and home will reinforce the success of our students and make a positive impact in our community.

Accountability: We believe as educators we are entrusted with the responsibility to educate and empower this generation of students, which in turn, impacts future generations as well. We will work to ensure academic success for all students by establishing high expectations for student performance, clear and measurable goals, and frequently monitoring student progress.

Mission StatementThe belief at Valley View Elementary School is that each child should be provided with a safe, positive, and challenging learning environment. We believe that each child should be given the opportunity to grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and that our job as staff members is to provide an environment that will ensure this growth.

We believe that all children should be challenged to do their personal best, and that our efforts should lead to the development of well-rounded students who will obtain skills that will make them successful adults and participate in a democratic society.

All students, including English learners, are given their own individual standards-aligned textbooks or instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home. Textbooks and supplementary materials are adopted according to a cycle developed by the California Department of Education, making the textbooks used in the school the most current available. Materials approved for use by the State are reviewed by all teachers and a recommendation is made to the School Board by a selection committee composed of teachers and administrators. All recommended materials are available for parent examination at the district office prior to adoption.

The table displays information collected in December, 2014 about the quality, currency, and availability of the standards-aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used at the school.

School Facilities & Safety (School Year 2014-15)Valley View Elementary School provides a safe, clean environment for students, staff, and volunteers.

The campus also features a wide array of recreational and sports areas, including playground equipment, a basketball court, and grass and blacktop play areas. The facility strongly supports teaching and learning through its ample classroom and playground space, and a staff resource room.

Cleaning ProcessThe district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Valley View Elementary School has one full-time custodian and one part-time custodian to provide janitorial and maintenance services on campus.

Maintenance and RepairThe district administers a scheduled maintenance program, including regular facilities inspections, to ensure that all classrooms and facilities are well-maintained and in good repair. When necessary, the district takes appropriate actions to ensure campus facilities are in good working order and provide a clean and safe environment for all members of the school community. A work order process immediately alerts district personnel of any maintenance needed to be performed and ensures that emergencies are given the highest priority.

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress/Standardized Testing and Reporting ResultsCalifornia EC Section 60640 authorized the replacement of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program with a new assessment program, referred to as the CAASPP. On March 7, 2014, the U.S Department of Education (ED) approved California’s waiver request for flexibility in assessment and accountability provisions of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Science assessments include California Standards Tests (CSTs), California Modified Assessment (CMA), and California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA).

The first table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards) in science (for grades 5, 8, and 10), for the most recent three-year period.

The second table displays the percent of students, by group, achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards) for the most recent testing period.

California Standards TestThe California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards).

The table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards) in English/language arts, mathematics, and social science, for the most recent three-year period. NOTE: CST was last administered in 2012-13.

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 http://star.cde.ca.gov.

Academic Performance IndexThe Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet.

Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school).

Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools.

Note: For 2014 and subsequent years, the statewide and similar schools ranks will no longer be produced.

The table displays the school’s API ranks and actual API point changes by student group for the past three years.

State Priority: Other Pupil AchievementThe SARC provides the following information relevant to the Other Pupil Outcomes State Priority:

• Pupil outcomes in the subject areas of English, mathematics, and physical education.

Physical Fitness (School Year 2013-14)In the spring of each year, the school is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to students. The Physical Fitness Test measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students who meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the “Healthy Fitness Zone” (HFZ).

C. Engagement State Priority: Parental InvolvementThe 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.

Parent & Community Involvement (School Year 2014-15)It is the belief of Nuview Union School District that part of serving students in a rural community is reaching beyond the classroom doors. Whether offering services to the local community, or bringing elements of the larger community directly to the students, Valley View Elementary School is committed to dynamic community involvement.

To allow students a diverse range of experiences, Nuview Union School District sponsors assemblies including performing and visual arts, cultural programs, and literature and writing presentations. In the past, these assemblies have included multimedia presentations, inspirational speakers, and plays.

Parents and members of the community have the opportunity to support and participate in the educational process through decision-making, training, volunteer activities, and the creation of partnerships. Notifications are sent to all parents to become a part of the Booster Club or School Site Council. Local businesses support the school’s student recognition and achievement programs.

Early Reading First ProgramThe Early Reading First Program is funded by a Federal grant to prepare young children to enter kindergarten with the necessary language, cognitive, and early reading skills to prevent reading difficulties and ensure school success. The program is open to preschool age children living in the district and is housed at Nuview Elementary School.

Even Start Family Literacy ProgramThe Even Start Family Literacy Program helps parents of children up to age seven prepare their child for reaching their full potential in elementary school. The program combines home visits, Parents and Child Together, and Family Focus Activities, with Adult Literacy, Parent Education, and Early Childhood Education/Elementary Education to support family learning and ensure student success in the future.

Parents as Teachers ProgramThe Parents as Teachers Program, for both expectant parents and parents of children age three or younger, provides home visits with a parent educator, who shares activities and information on child development. The program also offers group meetings where parents share experiences and learn from experts, and annual screenings to evaluate each child’s hearing, vision, and developmental progress.
