The teaching staff of Lucerne Valley Middle/High School includes: 20 full-time teachers and three part-time career technical education (CTE) high school teachers. Three teachers teach both middle and high school courses. Lucerne Valley High School has a established CTE program with college and career pathways. Future Farmers of America (FFA) is the most established program at Lucerne Valley High School. In this school year we are in year one of Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) implementation. For the 2017-18 school year, students also have the opportunity to take new A-G elective courses in the area of music. All science courses from grades 10-12 are A-G approved.

District Mission StatementThe Lucerne Valley Unified School District will become a model district in the state of California. The Lucerne Valley Unified School District will prepare students to be responsible and productive citizens in a continually changing society and instill in them the desire to be a lifelong learner.

School Vision StatementLucerne Valley Middle/High School will prepare students to be ethical, responsible, productive citizens who pursue the careers and higher education they desire.

Parental InvolvementParents have many opportunities to become involved in their child’s overall educational program:

• Parents assist in athletic programs• Parents and guardians volunteer in classrooms• The School Site Council (SSC) consists of parents and representatives from the local business commu-

nity, students and staff• There are separate advisory committees for our Associated Student Body (ASB) programs

Because there is only one secondary school in Lucerne Valley, many certificated and classified staff members have children who attend the facility. This lends itself to direct involvement. For more information on how to become involved at the school, please contact Anna Marie Garcia, office manager, at (760) 248-2124, extension 2101; or [email protected].

School SafetyOur school safety plan is organized according to the guidelines of Senate Bill 187. Because we are a single site, it is a grade 7-12 plan that covers the following:

• The assessment of the California school crime report• Safe school strategies and programs that include disaster preparedness, schoolwide dress code, cam-

pus safety and student code of conduct• Child-abuse reporting procedures• Disaster-response procedures• Suspension and expulsion• Procedures for notifying teachers of dangerous pupils• Sexual-harassment policy• Procedures for safe ingress to and egress from school• Rules and procedures for a safe and orderly learning environment• Rules and procedures for student discipline• Periodic disaster and fire drills

The school safety plan was last reviewed, updated and discussed with the school faculty in February 2018.

School Accountability Report Card In accordance with state and federal requirements, the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) is put forth annually by all public schools as a tool for parents and interested parties to stay informed of the school’s progress, test scores and achievements.

CAASPP by Student Group: English Language Arts/Literacy and MathematicsThe table on the following page displays the percentage of students that met or exceeded state standards in English language arts/literacy and mathematics for the school by student groups for grades 7, 8 and 11.The “percentage 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 CAA divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments.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.

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)For the 2016-17 school year, the CAASPP consists of several key components, including: California Alternate Assessments (CAA) test includes both ELA/literacy and mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11. The CAA is given to those students with the most significant cognitive disabilities whose current individualized education program (IEP) designates an alternate assessment.Smarter Balanced Assessments include ELA/literacy and math in grades 3-8 and 11. Smarter Balanced Assessments are designed to measure student progress toward college and career readiness.

The assessments under CAASPP show how well students are doing in relation to the state-adopted content standards. On each of these assessments, student aggregate scores are reported as achievement standards. For more information on the CAASPP assessments, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca.

Career Technical Education ProgramsAt Lucerne Valley High School, we are fortunate to have a variety of CTE courses: ROP Auto, ROP AutoCAD, ROP 3D, ROP Restaurant Occupations, ROP Bakery, ROP Land Maintenance and Design, Career Application, Desktop Publishing, and Advanced Computer. All of these classes have pacing guides and lesson plans which incorporate both CTE and California standards. Our CTE teachers collaborate on a regular basis with core teachers to articulate content and provide our students with real-world, practical, hands-on material and skills that they can use to improve their academics and career-technical skills essential to a well-rounded education. The staff is currently working on modifying pacing guides to meet the Common Core State Stan-dards.Students on our campus benefit from various workshops and college presentations that are provided throughout the year. We have a fully equipped computer lab to facilitate LVHS students who are involved in CTE courses. The computer lab is in place to prepare our graduates with the necessary technical skills to demonstrate computer competency as stated in our schoolwide learning goals. Students who are enrolled in the ROP Restaurant Occupation and ROP Bakery classes have the opportunity to obtain their California Food Handlers card. Eligible students also have support with transitions through a workability program.At LVHS, our goal is for students to be college and career ready upon graduation. Prior to graduation, all students will have completed a minimum of one CTE course. Our CTE courses allow students to obtain certi-fication upon successful completion of their 180-hour course. Various programs, like ROP Food Occupation course, also provide students with a food handler’s permit, enabling our students to be a step ahead of other entry-level applicants in the job market.

Nancy Spillman is the primary ROP representative.

Federal Intervention ProgramSchools and districts will not be newly identified for Program Improvement (PI) in the 2017-18 school year under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that became law in December 2015, which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Schools and districts receiving Title I, Part A funding for the 2016-17 school year and were “In PI” in 2016-17 will retain their same PI status and placement year for 2017-18. Schools and districts receiving Title I, Part A funding 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 funding in the 2015-16 school year will have a status of “Not in PI” for the 2017-18 school year. The percentage of schools identified for Program Improvement is calculated by taking the number of schools currently in PI within the district and dividing it by the total number of Title I schools within the district. This table displays the 2017-18 Program Improvement status for the school and district. For detailed informa-tion about PI identification, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp.

Admission Requirements for California’s Public UniversitiesUniversity of California: Admission re-quirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state’s high school graduates, as well as those transfer stu-dents who have successfully completed specified college course work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These require-ments are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for university-level work. For general admissions requirements, please visit the UC Admissions Information web page at http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu.California State University: Eligibility for admission to California State University (CSU) is determined by three factors: 1. specific high school courses, 2. grades in specified courses and test scores, and 3. graduation from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses have local admission-guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For admission, application and fee information, see the CSU web page at www.calstate.edu/admission/admission.shtml.

As students arrive on campus each morning, adminis-trators and campus security staff circulate throughout the campus to monitor student activities. During the lunch period, campus security staff provide supervision in the cafeteria and common gathering areas. When students are dismissed at the end of the day, administrators and teach-ers are stationed in strategic locations to ensure students leave campus or travel to after-school activities in a safe and orderly manner.The school site is neat and clean, and the facilities are adequate to meet the needs of the students. New paint and carpeting are installed periodically. A custodial staff works both during and after school as well as some nonstudent days to provide a well-maintained campus. The campus is entirely fenced and is kept locked when-ever students are present.

To maintain a safe and secure environ-ment, all parents and visitors are required to check in at the school office, obtain and wear a visitor’s badge, and then return to the office upon departure.District and site maintenance staff ensures the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are com-pleted in a timely manner. A work-order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. Our school has a team of custodians that clean the campus daily as well as over holidays and school breaks. School safety and cleanliness are the custodians’ highest priority and strongly emphasized as a component of the daily routines. On an annual basis, schools are required by the state to perform a comprehensive inspection and report those findings to the school community. The most recent inspection for Lucerne Valley Middle/High School took place on September 5, 2017.

Professional DevelopmentProfessional development is an essential factor in effective schools. We are committed to ensuring our staff regularly participates in opportunities to maintain an educational level of excellence. Our instructional pro-gram is driven by student data that is consistently examined by administration and staff. It is used throughout our school to make informed decisions about assessment, curriculum, pedagogy and student services.This essential data identifies student and school needs and progress. As a staff, we are focused on developing strong professional learning communities. Intervention specialists, grade-level teams and the principal meet in small group teams regularly. We have balanced our instructional minutes throughout the week to provide a minimum day for students each Wednesday. The remainder of this day is used for training and collabora-tion for staff. In addition, we encourage teachers to attend conferences and workshops that promote their professional growth.Prior and during each school year, there are three to 10 dedicated days to staff development in areas such as technology, writing, math, language and the sciences. These specifically designated days are taught by well-respected professionals in their areas of expertise. In the 2017-18 school year, the focus has been on safety and Common Core State Standards.
