Bonita Vista Middle School
School Overview
Bonita Vista Middle School, built in 1968 and partially renovated in 2009, was named a California Distinguished
School in 1988, 1994 and 1999. It is situated in a growing suburban upper middle class community 12 miles from
the U.S.-Mexico border, and serves a diverse ethnic population with a rich history of parental involvement and
high academic expectations and results. Our ethnically diverse population of 1061 students provides an enriched
campus atmosphere. Our population from the largest to the smallest is: Hispanic: 62%, White: 16%, Filipino: 6%,
Black: 4%. Asian: 3%, Pacific Islander: 1%, American Indian: 1%.
Academic achievement has always been in the forefront of our educational goals, and in 2012 we reached an API
score of 869. We also strive to meet the affective needs of our middle school youngsters. We offer an array of
opportunities for students to become involved, from clubs, after-school programs, intramurals and counseling
groups to academic pursuits such as science fairs, math field days, knowledge bowl competitions and spelling
bees. Our attendance rate, like our standardized test scores, remains high at 97.6%,
We have developed many programs designed to make sure our students and their families feel connected to
school, and that they feel safe, respected and appreciated. We embrace cultural and personal diversity while
emphasizing cooperative learning, problem solving, and peaceful conflict resolution as a means for preparing our
students to become active and positive contributing participants in a culturally diverse, technologically advanced,
global society. With a tradition of strong school-community ties, we welcome the participation of community
members in school programs, including the PTSA, ELAC, SSC, GATE and SCE. This school-community bond
helps build a sense of community and responsibility, strong character and self-worth while benefiting students,
their families, and the community at large.
Because we want our students to be well-rounded, we offer a fairly comprehensive elective program in addition to
a rigorous core curriculum with over 63,000 instructional minutes each school year. Choosing from an array of
electives ranging from art and music to technology gives our students many opportunities to discover their
strengths and interests. We also offer a multitude of opportunities for under-performing students to improve and
strengthen their academic skills. Tutoring, Credit Recovery, Structured English Immersion classes for EL
students, Collaboration Classes for Students with Disabilities, and Support Classes in Math and English are a few
examples. We also incorporate technology throughout the rigorous and challenging curriculum.
The high academic performance of our students is but one indication of our school-wide success. In addition, we
have many award winning programs on campus, including the PTSA, student newspaper, band, chorus, and
service clubs, just to name a few. Our staff and parents are directly involved in our school governance. Many of
our teachers have served as Mentor and Master teachers and have been recognized for their excellence in
numerous ways, such as being named to Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers. Staff is committed to
continuous improvement and this year we are utilizing 32 minimum days (every Friday) for teachers to
collaborate during our Professional Learning Community time, to align curriculum, instruction and assessment
practices, refine effective teaching strategies and continuously seek ways to improve instruction, intervention and
thus, student achievement. The Administration, CIS Coordinator, Counselors, Academic Support Team, School
Site Council, FAC, Department Chairs PLCs and others work in collaboration to ensure academic success and
personal wellbeing. School-wide, the staff is dedicated to creating an atmosphere in which all students can grow,
flourish and succeed while preparing to become tomorrow’s leaders.

Bonita Vista Middle School
Signature Practice 1 Narrative
Student Academic Support 1. Rationale/Basis of the Practice
Bonita Vista Middle is a school that has always had high academic achievement in the forefront of our educational goals, we also strive to meet the affective needs of our middle school students by insuring a positive academic experience that enhances how the student sees themselves. With NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, it has clearly defined which of our students need the extra academic support in their educational progress. In addition, our school is one that has been identified where students within the district can choose to enroll from their current Program Improvement school. When working to address the academic needs of our students in our community, we also work to address the academic needs of students from other school sites who choose to transfer to Bonita Vista Middle School. Upon the transfer under the auspices of NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, these students become ours. The need of our Academic Support is to include all students while insuring a focus is on students who demonstrate non mastery in required academic content. The process and data used to identify targeted students is taken from the results of the CST exam to identity the initial core of students that we will be working with throughout the school year. This list of students is constantly changing as students transfer in and out of school. Prior to the school year beginning, students are identified by level of proficiency and assigned a study of course/s appropriate to their level. This process includes all students, with a specific focus on academic placement for English Learners and Special Education students. Level of academic proficiency is set by cut points set by the state department of California Department of Education. The placement cut point criteria is set by the school district. These guidelines help us structure how we work to meet the academic needs of our students. As the school year begins our teachers meet in weekly professional learning communities where curriculum planning is discussed and planned for the school year. As a result of this planning, teachers have opportunities to plan common assessments as instruction is moving along. Using student data, via DATA DIRECTOR, teachers are able to see which students and not meeting mastery levels of understanding of the curriculum. As teachers work together in gathering data, we find different levels of proficiency in technology and would at times not all be at the same place where everyone needs to be in order for the department to move forward. We have found a more efficient focus on identifying student mastery is to have one person crunch the data for staff, in an ongoing consistent basis. The Student Academic Support has through necessity forced us to streamline the technical process of identifying students to meet the need of a more expedient outcome for our students. While school is in session we also found need to support the students who did not complete assignments at home or complete long term academic projects at home. We have many parents that work long hours and looking at student work is the last thing on their mind. Many of these students need someone to encourage the completion of work in a timely and responsible manner. The Student Academic Support reaches out to these students who fall into both the proficient and non-proficient category. There is also a student who does not care to do homework or to stay for academic support when invited to do so. This student is provided an opportunity to stay afterschool for an hour and a half. This is to 1) get the student’s attention, and 2) to insure the student has ample time to complete all the work not completed in the expected timeline.

Bonita Vista Middle School After an exam in a core content course, using student results, students are identified as to who is required to attend re-teaching of key content standards. Through the work of the PLC’s teachers develop the content used in the re-teaching of poor performing students. Upon completion of the re-teaching, students are assessed once again on the content and are able to us the higher grade on the exam as the final result. This activity is practiced through the school year. This practice greatly assists students who have not demonstrated academic proficiency on exams. Student that fail a core class required for high school promotion are recruited to attend a credit recovery course after school and on Saturdays. This practice meets the needs of many students who require passing all English and Math courses to meet the criteria of middle school promotion.
2. Description of the Practice Listed below is the description of the Academic Support Services provided to all our students with a specific focus on English Learners and our Special Education Students. Students are identified for all the listed support except for the walk-in tutoring where a student chooses to attend or a parent can send their child to attend. Academic Tutoring Re-Teaching Students who demonstrate non mastery of standards on a common formative assessment by scoring 70% or lower, are assigned (mandatory) to a scheduled re-teaching class for Friday afternoon of the same week with credentialed teacher. AEC: Academic Enrichment Center Students are scheduled to attend one hour (mandatory) on a daily bases due to failure to complete homework, classwork, or a class project, in need of specific tutoring, or received 2 or more F grades on the last progress report. On the day that AEC is scheduled the student is informed and provided a phone call phone so the student can tell their parent that because of the stated reason they have to stay behind. For bus transportation issues and previous appointments such as a doctor’s appointment, AEC is rescheduled for the next day. The student is also provided with a written letter to be given to the parent that same day. The AEC is staff with college and AVID trained students who assist students with homework and assignment completion. Students are monitored to insure attendance on the scheduled day. Students who fail to attend as directed are processed into the next step, ARC. ARC: Academic Recovery Center/Detention Students are scheduled to attend 90 minutes (mandatory) for non-attendance of Academic Enrichment AEC, non-attendance of Re-Teaching, poor behavior, or continually not prepared for class. Students are monitored to insure they comply by attending the session(s). Both parents and students are notified by paper notice and a phone call home. Walk-In Tutoring Students self-refer or parents send their students to attend for after school support. Credit Recovery Students who receive an F grade at the semester are scheduled to attend a credit recovery class in either an English or Math course that is required to be able to promote at the end of the eighth grade year. This includes classes after school and attendance on Saturday. Students are contacted in school and given a notice to give to their parent to sign. Those students who do not return the form with a parent signature are called into the office again to be reminded
3. Results of the Practice
The initial thoughts on the after school support for students was to fine tune the process and to make the most efficient use of school funds. The results we found more than pleased us at the end of the school year.

We found teachers were interested in providing other avenues for learning. The afterschool Academic Teaching/Tutoring along with the Saturday Re-Teaching provided access both to the willing teachers and the academically challenged student.

Bonita Vista Middle School
Signature Practice 2 Narrative
1. Rationale/Basis of the Practice
Bonita Vista Middle School’s culture features a warm, nurturing environment that allows students to explore and develop strengths while experience a rigorous academic curriculum. In striving for academic excellence we work continuously to insure that students’ affective needs are met and that their transition from elementary to secondary school is successful. We offer numerous programs geared toward developing students into well-rounded individuals, including after-school services, intramurals, and academic support classes during the day, as well as an outstanding elective program.
We want all students to reach their full potential, and provide individualized help to those who need it. Instructional support is available to help our students with targeted support for our most at risk such as our Limited English Learners and Learning Disabled Students.
Teachers of Bonita Vista Middle practice intensely strong collegiate support of one another in their day to day activities. We have many teachers and staff that have been at this school for 20-30 years and have remained here because of the strength and commitment of the staff to each other and to their students. For example, during the first semester of the last academic school year five different principals were assigned to the site. A new assistant principal transferred in October 2011 and the current principal arrived in January 2012. It is very apparent that the staff held together and worked to promote the excellent work being done here. Despite the frequent change of administration during the fall of 2011, instruction did not falter. Targeted afterschool academic intervention help students respond to the instruction that is reflected in the academic growth of 46 points. Bonita Vista Middle School had the highest point gain in the entire district for the 2012 CST.
The parents and community of Bonita Vista Middle School continue a robust support of the school by actively supporting student activities through fund raising activities, attending and assisting in supervising students for different events held both on and off campus.
We prepare our students to belong, not just to their academic and sports team and our school, but to the community at large. We prepare them to succeed, not just at school, but in life.
2. Description of the Practice
Academically We provide numerous avenues for students to excel including mastering rhetorical writing, art displays, Beginning and Advanced Band, Beginning and Advanced Choir, Woodshop, Annual Science Fair Competition at the site, District, County and State level. We have had many winners throughout the years of the field of Science competition. Our Robotic Team also strong and has competed against larger and older teams and has demonstrated great capacity to show depth and knowledge in the use of robotics. Our math department
California Department of Education 2013 California Distinguished Schools Application

generates a competitive math team for the Annual District Math Field Day, an event we have participated for a number of years. Although our Knowledge Bowl team, came in second place last year, it was reigning champions for the previous three years. We are confidante we will regain our stronghold this spring when the competition concludes. We recognize students for their efforts in improvement and success in a variety of ways including accomplishments such as Perfect Attendance, Straight A’s Luncheon for Student and Parent, Good Citizenship and Scholarship, Academic Improvement luncheon for Student and Parent, and involvement in the community. Extra Curricular We have a very successful intramural Sports Program where a large number of students, both boys and girls, participate in a variety of different sports. During the fall they are engaged in Baseball, Softball, Flag Football and in the Spring they participate in boys and girls Basketball, boys and girls soccer and girls Volleyball. Last spring 2012 our girls Basketball Team were the Basketball Champions for the District Middle School Afterschool Sports. This fall 2012, our girls Softball Team became the District Champions for the District Middle School Afterschool Sports. and regular grade level assemblies featuring our students and former students. Our ASB is active in offering student activities, after-school dances and lunchtime games. Community We weave into school activities a commitment to serve others less fortunate in our community and to participate in activities that will make our community stronger and better for all. Those activities include our ASB promoting on campus donations with TOYS for TOTS during the holidays. Our AVID students promote a blanket and pajama collection during the winter for orphans in nearby missions in Mexico. Students are recruited to assist in a BEAUTIFY Chula Vista project to help clean up designated neighborhoods. Students annually tour the Superior Courthouse, meet with a judge in their chambers, and have an opportunity to observe a court in session, interview attorneys, bailiffs, and others in our judicial systems for a better understanding of the legal profession. School Resource Officers visit our campus at the beginning of school during our school orientation to meet parents and students, to insure that both students and parents know that the local police is a resource on campus and is here to promote school safety. Parents/Staff We are extremely fortunate to have a very active PTSA that meets on campus on a monthly basis. They are involved in fundraising in a variety of ways, such as financing an ongoing sweatshirt sale, sponsoring an annual Book Faire, selling Kettle Corn and assisting our community during Open House. In addition to contributing to campus beautification, our parents lead our schools mural project. They methodically planned, raised funds, sought out an artist to paint the school mural, requested several possible school mascot scenes, and made a selection. The final product was a beautiful mural we are all very proud of and serves as an impressive backdrop to our 8th grade Awards Assembly and is the testimony of the many parents who contribute in making Bonita Vista Middle a much better place.
