2012/2013 START TIME

A change in our start time has been approved for the 2012 - 2013 school year. Our new school hours on Monday - Thursday will be 8:25 - 2:40 and Friday will be 8:25 - 12:44. The start time was approved by certificated staff, classified staff, school site council and the majority of respondants to the parent survey. There were 174 respondents to the survey with 68% being in favor and 32% being opposed.
The concerns regarding the time change time are categorized as follows:
Prefer a later start - We understand that some will prefer a later start. However, survey results of staff and parents show that many also prefer an early start. Childcare / Daycare - There were concerns over daycare transportation expressed. We contacted each of the major daycare provides that offer transportation services to our site and each assured us that transportation during the new start was available.
Traffic Congestion - There are concerns over increased congestion as a result of being at the same time as Liberty. Liberty offers a breakfast program which begins at 7:55, which approximately 25% of their students attend, cutting down on the number of students being transported at 8:10. In addition, we now offer an additional drop-off and pick-up area that was not in place when we were on the same schedule with Liberty in the past.
We will be holding a Q & A for parents regarding the change in our start time on
Monday, April 30 at 4:30. We look forward to seeing there.

School Accountability Report Card
Current School Accountability Report Card (English)
The governing boards of California school districts must annually prepare and issue the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) for each elementary and secondary school under their jurisdiction. SARC reports are required by law to provide parents, the local business community, and interested parties with important information about a school's progress in 16 key areas. These Conditions cover such topics as progress toward meeting goals in reading, writing, and arithmetic progress toward reducing dropout rates and the amount of funds spent on salaries and other services. The School Accountability Report Card was established by Proposition 98, an initiative passed by California voters in November of 1988.
