School Mission StatementOur mission at Jefferson Elementary is to ensure high levels of academic achievement for all students through enriching learning experiences and student engagement in a positive and nurturing school environment.

District & School Profile (School Year 2016-17)The Calexico Unified School District is located in the City of Calexico which is within walking distance of the international border. The City of Calexico is located within Imperial County which lies in the extreme southeastern desert region of California.

The district consists of seven elementary schools, two junior high schools, one comprehensive high school, one continuation high school, and one independent studies program.

Jefferson Elementary School serves kindergarten through sixth grade students. The school is committed to raising student achievement, providing students with the skills necessary to succeed in life, and providing a quality education that promotes high expectations and positive self-esteem for all students and staff.

School Enrollment (School Year 2016-17)The charts display school enrollment broken down by student group and grade.

A. Conditions of Learning State Priority: Basic

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Basic State Priority (Priority 1):

• Degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned and fully credentialed in the subject area and for the pupils they are teaching;

• Pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials; and• School facilities are maintained in good repair.

Teacher AssignmentThe district recruits and employs qualified credentialed teachers. This chart shows information about teacher credentials.

Misassignments refers to the number of positions filled by teachers who lack legal authorization to teach that grade level, subject area, student group, etc. 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 semester or year.

School Facilities (School Year 2017-18)Jefferson Elementary School was originally constructed in 1968 and it underwent an Earthquake and Modernization project that was completed in the Spring of 2012. The campus is currently comprised of 23 permanent classrooms, 10 portable classrooms, a library, a staff lounge, a multi-purpose room, a large playground, and a computer lab. The school recently added a shade structure to the field for added shade, and a new modular/trailer was added to the campus.

Cleaning ProcessThe principal works daily with two custodian staff members and a part-time groundskeeper to ensure classrooms, restrooms, and campus grounds are kept clean and safe.

Maintenance and Repair Jefferson Elementary School provides a safe and clean environment for students, staff, and volunteers. The district administers a scheduled maintenance program, including regular facilities inspections, to ensure that all classrooms and facilities are well-maintained and in good repair. A work order process immediately alerts district personnel of any maintenance needed to be performed and ensures that emergencies are given the highest priority.

The facility strongly supports teaching and learning through its ample classroom and playground space. Work orders have been submitted for all deficiencies noted in the chart. The chart displays the results of the most recent facilities inspection completed on September 5, 2017.

Instructional Materials (School Year 2017-18)Calexico Unified School District held a public hearing on October 12, 2017, 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 and foreign languages for use in the classroom and to take home. Textbooks and supplementary materials are adopted according to a cycle developed by the State 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 February 2018 about the quality, currency, and availability of the standards-aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used at the school.

The district also uses supplemental ELD instructional materials for grades K-6. These include materials from SRA/McGraw-Hill (grades K-2) and Ballard and Tighe (for grades 3-6). Note: The district does not have a formal textbook adoption for health and visual/performing arts.

B. Pupil Outcomes State Priority: Pupil Achievement

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4):

• Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students in the general education population and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Only eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. CAAs items are aligned with alternate achievement standards, which are linked with the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities); and

• The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University, or career technical education sequences or programs of study

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) includes computer-based assessments. The computer-based assessments are the Smarter Balanced English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) and Mathematics tests, administered to grades three through eight and eleven. There is also the optional Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) for Reading/Language Arts (RLA).

In the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years, the Science assessments were paper-pencil tests for grades five, eight, and ten: the California Standards Tests (CSTs) for Science, the California Modified Assessment (CMA) for Science, and California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) for Science. During the 2016–17 school year, the new California Science Test was pilot tested. This pilot test replaced the California Standards Tests and California Modified Assessment for Science. Because this was a pilot year, no Science scores will be disclosed.

The Smarter Balanced Assessment System utilizes computer-adaptive tests and performance tasks that allow students to show what they know and are able to do. Smarter Balanced summative assessment results include student scores, achievement levels, and descriptors that describe performance. These assessment results are only one of several tools used to measure a student’s academic performance in ELA/Literacy and mathematics. Smarter Balanced assessment results are most appropriately interpreted alongside other available information about a student’s academic achievement, including such measures as District assessments, classroom assignments and grades, classrooms tests, report cards, and teacher feedback.

For 2015–16 and 2016–17, this section includes the school, district, and state information on the percent of students meeting or exceeding the State standards on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments and California Alternate Assessments (CAAs) for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics for grades three through eight and grade eleven. It also displays Science scores (grades 5, 8, and 10) for 2014-15 and 2015-16.

The following table displays information on student achievement by student groups for the school in ELA and Mathematics with all grades combined (grades three through eight and eleven).

5Jefferson Elementary School Published: February 2018

Note: ELA test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the California Alternate Assessment. The “Percent Met or Exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number of students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments.

Double dashes (--) appear in the table when the number of students is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy.

Note: The number of students tested includes all students who participated in the test whether they received a score or not; however, the number of students tested is not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement level percentages are calculated using only students who received scores.

State Priority: Other Pupil OutcomesThe SARC provides the following information relevant to the Other Pupil Outcomes State Priority (Priority 8):

• Pupil outcomes in the subject area of physical education

Physical Fitness (School Year 2016-17)In the spring of each year, Jefferson Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in fifth grade. The physical fitness test measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students who either 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 Involvement

The 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 school site.

Parent Involvement (School Year 2017-18)Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Jefferson Elementary School. Parents are very active at the school site, participating in Back-To-School Night, Open House, parent-teacher conferences, classroom visitations, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings, Student Study Team (SST) meetings, parent training sessions, school fund-raising, and volunteering within the classrooms. Parents are also encouraged to participate in the following committees: School Site Council, English Language Advisory Council (ELAC), Migrant Advisory Committee, General Parent meetings, Parent Booster meetings, and volunteering within the classroom. Parents are invited to participate and contribute in special occasions such as Halloween Carnival, the two Family Nights (Family Math Night and Family ELA Night), and the Winter Program.

The school maintains an open-door policy with all parents of Jefferson Elementary School students. Parents are sent timely communications from the school and/or district in both English and Spanish. Such communications include the School Accountability Report Card (SARC), classroom newsletters, monthly calendars, William’s Law information, Program Improvement status, and other notifications.

Contact InformationParents who wish to participate in Jefferson Elementary School’s leadership teams, school committees, school activities, or become volunteers may contact the main office at (760) 768-3812.

State Priority: School ClimateThe SARC provides the following information relevant to the School Climate State Priority (Priority 6):

• Pupil suspension rates;• Pupil expulsion rates; and• Other local measures on the sense of safety.

Discipline & Climate for LearningA warm, nurturing atmosphere and an effective learning program provide the basis for Jefferson Elementary School’s discipline program. The goal of Jefferson Elementary’s discipline program is to provide students with opportunities to learn self-discipline through a system of consistent rewards and consequences for their behavior. The staff works with parents to address behavioral problems in a positive and productive manner. Teachers use a visible classroom management plan to communicate classroom rules, promote positive pupil conduct, and reduce unacceptable conduct.

School rules are posted in each classroom and the Principal holds a discipline assembly at the beginning of the school year to review school rules and ensure that students understand the school’s expectations. School rules and policies are distributed to parents and students at the beginning of the school year in the Schoolwide Discipline Plan. Parents are also sent the Parent/Teacher/Student Compact outlining the responsibilities of each party in the education of the student.

Students may be suspended, transferred to another school, or recommended for expulsion for specific infractions identified by Board Policy and Administrative Regulations. Student conduct standards and consequences for Jefferson Elementary are specifically described in the Comprehensive School Safety Plan.

The table displays the suspension and expulsion rates at the school, in the district, and throughout the state. Expulsions occur only when required by law or when all other alternatives are exhausted.

Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, which are an integral part of the educational program and promote positive attitudes, encourage achievement, and aid in the prevention of behavioral problems.

Jefferson Elementary offers students the chance to participate in the Junior Olympics, Halloween Carnival, Family Nights, Winter Program, and band (5th-6th grades).

After school tutoring is provided to students in conjunction with the school’s ASES After School Program in the areas of ELD, literacy, mathematics, and recreational activities such as arts & crafts, sports, dance, sewing, and cooking. Teachers also provide extended day tutoring for Kindergarten through sixth grade. The school also provides Supplemental Educational Services (SES) such as Extreme Learning and Bright Futures.

Jefferson Elementary has several student recognition programs that contribute to the positive environment of the school. Each semester students are honored for Honor Roll, perfect attendance, and for student achievement in Accelerated Reader.

Safe School Plan (School Year 2017-18)The safety of students and staff is a primary concern at Jefferson Elementary. The Comprehensive Safety Plan was developed by the school in consultation with local law enforcement in order to comply with Senate Bill 187 of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means to ensure a safe and orderly learning environment.

Components of the Comprehensive Safety Plan include the following: crisis response procedures, internal security procedures, discipline policy, procedures for safe drop off and pick up from school, sexual harassment policy, and dress code policy. Jefferson Elementary reviews the plan annually in the spring and updates it as needed. The School Site Safety plan was last updated and reviewed with school staff in January 2017. A copy of the safety plan is available to the public at the school office.

Fire and earthquake drills are conducted on a quarterly basis. The school is in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to hazardous materials and state earthquake standards. To ensure student safety, staff members and playground supervisors monitor students at all times before, during, and after school. The school is a closed campus. All visitors must sign in at the office, obtain a visitor’s badge, and sign out upon leaving.

D. Other SARC InformationThe information in this section is required to be in the SARC but is not included in the state priorities for LCFF.

Federal Intervention Program (School Year 2017-18)Schools and districts receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not meet federal Annual Measurable Objective targets for two consecutive years in the same area or indicator, including English/Language Arts and Math testing participation rates, attendance rates, and graduation rates. After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not meet those goals.

Due to the flexibility allowed by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that became law in December 2015 and reauthorized the ESEA, no district or school will be newly identified for PI in the 2017–18 school year. Districts and schools that received Title I, Part A funds for the 2016–17 school year and were “In PI” in the 2016–17 school year will retain their same PI status and placement year for 2017–18.

California elected not to require districts or schools to provide Supplemental Educational Services and Choice for the 2017–18 school year, as defined in Section 1116 of the ESEA. Districts and schools that received Title I, Part A funds for the 2016–17 school year and either had a status of “Not in PI” for the 2016–17 school year or did not receive Title I, Part A funds for the 2015–16 school year will have a status of “Not in PI” for the 2017–18 school year.

For detailed information about PI identification, see the CDE PI Status Determinations Web page: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp.

School LeadershipPrincipal Alejandro Aviña joined the school in the fall of 2014. The Principal oversees the day-to-day operations of the school. Coordinating with the Principal is the leadership team, which is composed of grade-level representatives. The Leadership Team meets regularly to focus on schoolwide curricular and administrative issues. Additional staff leadership opportunities are available with the School Site Council, Student Study Teams (SST), English Language Advisory Council (ELAC), and the District English Language Advisory Council (DELAC).

Class SizeThe table indicates the average class size by grade level, as well as the number of classrooms that fall into each size category.

Counseling & Support Staff (School Year 2016-17)It is the goal of Calexico Unified School District to assist students in their social and personal development as well as in academics. The district provides special attention to students who experience achievement problems, difficulty coping with personal and family problems, trouble with decision making, or handling peer pressure. An active Student Study Team (SST) meets regularly to discuss and plan for students’ learning needs.

The academic counselor-to-pupil ratio is 1:740. The table lists the support service personnel available at Jefferson Elementary School. Note: One Full Time Equivalent (FTE) equals one staff member working full time; one FTE could also represent two staff members who each work 50 percent of full time.
