Principal’s MessageAlview-Dairyland Union School District has been providing an exceptional educational setting for all students to learn since 1915. We are a rural district serving approximately 125 square miles that started as Dairyland School District and later joined with Alview School District to become Alview-Dairyland. The district has maintained high academic standards amidst a positive, nurturing environment. The staff of Alview (K-3) and Dairyland (4-8) is a family of dedicated and compassionate adults who look out for the needs of each and every student. Alview-Dairyland Elementary School is known for its strong parental involvement and a strong program that encourages all students to be active learners. Children are challenged to reach their maximum potential. We believe that strong lines of communication between students, staff, parents, and community are imperative for children to reach their goals.

The purpose of the School Accountability Report Card is to provide information to our community about our instructional programs, our high academic achievement (as evidenced by our API scores), our facilities, and our staff. Parents and the community play a very important role in the success of our schools. Understanding our program improvement and curriculum development can assist both the school and community in ongoing program improvement.

District & School ProfileAlview-Dairyland Union School District is a small rural district located in the Central San Joaquin Valley in Madera County. The district consists of two school sites, Alview Elementary School and Dairyland Elementary School.

During the 2006-07 school year, 162 students in kindergarten through third grade were enrolled at the school. The table illustrates student demographics.

Discipline & Climate for LearningStudents at Alview Elementary School are guided by specific rules and classroom expectations that promote respect, cooperation, courtesy and acceptance of others. The goal of Alview Elementary School’s discipline program is to provide students with opportunities to learn self discipline through a system of consistent rewards and consequences for their behavior. Parents and students are informed of discipline policies at the beginning of each school year through classroom orientation and individual student handbooks.

The Suspensions and Expulsions table illustrates total cases for the last three years, as well as a percentage of enrollment. Suspensions are expressed in terms of total infractions, not number of students suspended, as some students may have been suspended on multiple occasions. Expulsions occur only when required by law or when all other alternatives are exhausted.

Intervention ProgramsAlview Elementary School has extensive small group tutoring available during the day and after school. Also, intervention classes with small group instruction can be seen throughout the day.

Extracurricular ActivitiesStudents are encouraged to participate in the school’s additional academic and extracurricular activities that are an integral part of the educational program. These schoolwide and classroom incentives promote positive attitudes, encourage achievement, and aid in the prevention of behavioral problems. Extracurricular activities, and programs include:

• 4-H Club • City Sports Program

Student RecognitionCertificates, ribbons, prizes, and various other awards are given to students at assemblies and special presentations throughout the school year. Recognitions and awards include:

• Accelerated Reading Points • Science Fair• Student of the Month • Honor Roll• Top Readers of the Month• Attendance Awards• Sight Words Shirts• Track & Field Day

School Enrollment & AttendanceSchool districts receive financial support from the state for the education of the students they serve based on how many students attend each day. Most importantly, attendance is critical to academic achievement and regular daily attendance is a priority at Alview Elementary School. Student attendance is carefully monitored to identify those students exhibiting excessive absences.

Attendance, tardy, and truancy policies are clearly stated, consistently enforced, and consequences fairly administered. Parents are advised of their responsibilities, including proper notification of why and when students are absent. After three unexcused absences or excessive absences, the secretary, principal, or vice principal makes personal phone calls to students’ homes to verify absences.

Letters are also sent home and meetings are scheduled with parents to discuss their student’s attendance. Students with excessive absences are referred to the School Attendance and Review Board (SARB).

This chart illustrates the enrollment trend by grade level for the past three school years.

Parent InvolvementThe parents of Alview Elementary School students support their children, the school, and the community by helping their children at home with their schoolwork, providing a caring environment, and by attending conferences, programs, and athletic and academic events. Many parent volunteers serve as classroom helpers, chaperones for field trips, fund-raisers, and organizers. Parents serve on committees such as the School Site Council (SSC), and District Parent Migrant/Bilingual Committee PAC/DELAC. The Parent Teacher Club provides funds and support for assemblies, uniforms, field trips, school carnivals, and many other extra benefits for the school and its students.

Alview Elementary School also benefits from partnerships with the following local organizations: Lions and Rotary Clubs.

Class SizeAverage class sizes vary by grade level and subject area taught. The table indicates the average class size by grade level, as well as the number of classes offered in reference to their enrollment.

Counseling & Support StaffIt is the goal of Alview Elementary School to assist students in their social and personal development as well as academics. The school gives special attention to students who experience achievement problems, difficulty coping with personal and family problems, trouble with decision making, or handling peer pressure. The table lists the support service personnel available at Alview Elementary School.

GATE classes are available for students in second through third grade in the areas language arts, science, math, and technology. This year, students are studying mathematical solutions.

The safety of students and staff is a primary concern of Alview Elementary School. The school is always in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to hazardous materials and state earthquake standards. The School Site Safety plan was last reviewed and updated February 2008 by the School Safety Committee. All revisions were communicated to the both the classified and certificated staff. The school’s disaster preparedness plan includes steps for ensuring student and staff safety during a disaster. Fire, disaster, and lockdown drills are conducted on a regular basis throughout the school year.

Students are supervised before, after school, during lunch, and break periods. The school provides two-way radios to enable those who are supervising students to maintain communication. There is a designated area for student drop off and pick up. Visitors must sign in when entering the campus. Students coming and going during the school day must be signed in and out.

Cleaning Process

The Director of Operations works daily with the custodial staff to ensure that the cleaning of the school is maintained to provide for a clean and safe school. The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards are available at the district office for review.

Maintenance and Repair

District maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and work orders are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and highest priority are given to emergency repairs. At the time of publication 100% of restrooms were in working condition.

While reviewing this report, please note that even minor discrepancies are reported in the inspection process. The items noted in the table have been corrected or are in the process of remediation.

Deferred Maintenance Budget

The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides matching funds on a dollar–for–dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2006-07 school year the district allocated $13,485 for deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.5% of the district’s general fund budget. During the 2006-07 school year, the district’s governing board approved deferred maintenance projects for the school, which included a new well.

Curriculum DevelopmentAll curriculum development at Alview Elementary School revolves around the California State Content Standards and Frameworks. Teachers align classroom curriculum to ensure that all students either meet or exceed state proficiency levels. The writing and implementation of Alview-Dairyland Union School District curriculum is an ongoing process. The school’s curriculum guides are updated regularly to align with the state standards, district goals, and the statewide assessment program.

School LeadershipLeadership at Alview Elementary School is a responsibility shared between district administration, the principal, vice principal, instructional staff, students, and parents. The district’s emphasis is on a well-balanced and rigorous core curriculum at all grade levels. Instructional programs are aligned with state and district standards. Lori Flanagan was hired as Principal/Superintendent of Alview and Dairyland Elementary Schools in July, 2006. She has five years of administrative experience and 26 years of experience in education.

Staff members and parents participate on various committees that make decisions regarding the priorities and direction of the educational plan to ensure instructional programs are consistent with students’ needs and comply with district goals. Leadership teams include: School Site Council, Administrator and Teacher Collaboration Teams.

Instructional TimeFor the 2006-07 school year, Alview Elementary School offered 180 days of instruction, comprised of 143 regular days and 37 minimum days, which were utilized for staff development and parent-teacher conferences. All instructional time exceeded the daily instructional minute requirements specified in the California Education Code.

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 combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts and Math, for the most recent three-year period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov.

Federal Intervention ProgramSchools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

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.

Alview School does not receive a similar school ranking due to small sample size.

CAT/6The California Achievement Test (CAT/6) is a standardized norm-referenced test (NRT), which indicates how the student or group of students compares with that of a norm group and other students from around the country. In August of 2004 the governor signed legislation reauthorizing the STAR Program. Prior to the reauthorization the California Achievement Tests, Sixth Edition Survey (CAT/6 Survey) were administered to all students in grades two through eleven. The reauthorization program requires administering the CAT/6 Survey only to students in grades three and seven. Students in grades three and seven were tested in reading, language, spelling, and mathematics. The purpose of administering the CAT/6 Survey is to determine how well California students are achieving academically compared to a national sample of students tested in the same grade at the same time of the school year. The CAT/6 chart reflects the percentages of students scoring at or above the 50th percentile, or those students performing at average/above average level, in Reading and Math.

Adequate Yearly ProgressNo Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements:

• Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator.• Graduation rate (for secondary schools).

There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff. Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their district) that have met their AYP, and the former school would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart.

Additional Internet Access/Public LibrariesFor additional research materials and Internet availability, students are encouraged to visit the public libraries located in Madera County, which contain numerous computer workstations. For more information, please visit their website at: http://www.sjvls.org/madera.

Library InformationThe school’s library, staffed by a full-time Secretary, provides an extensive variety of reference and special interest materials, in addition to hundreds of educational and recreational books. Students have the opportunity to visit the library on a daily basis.

Computer ResourcesAll classrooms have six computers that are connected to the Internet. Computer skills and concepts are integrated throughout standard curriculum which helps to prepare students for technological growth and other opportunities.

Instructional MaterialsAlview-Dairyland Union Elementary held a Public Hearing on September 11, 2007, and determined that each school within the district has sufficient and good quality textbooks, instructional materials, or science lab equipment pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. 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 about the quality, currency, and availability of the standards-aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used at the school.

Teacher AssignmentAlview-Dairyland Union School District recruits and employs the most qualified credentialed teachers. For the 2006-07 school year, Alview Elementary School had eight fully credentialed teachers who met all credential requirements in accordance with State of California guidelines.

Teacher misassignments reflect the number of placements within a school for which the certificated employee in the teaching or services position (including positions that involve teaching English Learners) does not hold a legally recognized certificate or credential. Teacher vacancies reflect the number of positions to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of the year for an entire year.

Highly Qualified TeachersThe Federal No Child Left Behind Act requires that all teachers in core subject areas meet certain requirements in order to be considered as “Highly Qualified” no later than the end of the 2006-07 school year. Minimum qualifications include: possession of a Bachelor’s Degree, possession of an appropriate California teaching credential, and demonstrated competence in core academic subjects.

Teacher EvaluationIn accordance with district policy, new teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers every other year. Observations and evaluations are conducted by the principal and vice-principal. These administrators are certified to perform teacher evaluations and observations. The California Standards for the Teaching Profession are used by administrators for focused observations and by BTSA Support Providers. The areas for observation and evaluation include standards for: engaging and supporting all students in learning, developing as a professional educator, assessing student learning, creating and maintaining effective environments for student learning, understanding and organizing subject matter for student learning, and planning instruction and designing learning experiences for all students.

Conferences are held to discuss and reflect on the quality of instruction and to provide suggestions for the teacher on improving classroom practices.

Substitute TeachersAlview-Dairyland Union School District maintains a list of substitutes who have proven to be effective in its classrooms. The district’s first priority is to contact NCLB compliant substitutes with current teaching credentials. All substitutes are fingerprinted and required to pass the CBEST exam. A minimum of 90 semester units are required if the substitute is enrolled in a four year regionally accepted college. The district generally does not have any difficulties in securing qualified substitute teachers, but in the rare instance that we cannot find a qualified substitute our vice principal and our superintendent are qualified.
