Mission Statement: Centralia School District is committed to meeting the diverse educational needs of all students and creating lifelong learners, by providing exceptional staff and opportunities for family and community involvement in a safe and nurturing environment. Baseline Data and Resources: The staff at Danbrook Elementary believes that “students come first” and this belief guides all school decisions. Each year parents receive, and are asked to review with their children, the Parent-Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. Assertive progressive discipline is used with appropriate consequences for behavior. At Danbrook, student learning is a shared responsibility by all community members. Each year the staff, parents, and students discuss/review and sign a Home-School Compact in agreement with that belief. Parents receive school news via the school website and weekly phone messages that keep them aware of school and district information. Each year the site principal and school safety team review and update the school-wide crisis response procedures. Every member of the staff has been placed on a Crisis Response team in the event of a real emergency, and has been assigned “buddy” classrooms to ensure safety. Teachers verify that classroom crisis response backpacks are updated and ensure that that Crisis Response Procedures are posted in the classroom. Teachers participate in monthly evacuation drills and review crisis response procedures with students. An analysis of the most recent California Healthy Kids Survey data, LCAP parent survey, LCAP Student Survey, student discipline logged into AERIES and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) online rewards and data management system, student attendance reports, annual accident reports, and debriefs after emergency drills are used to identify Danbrook School’s safety areas of need.

Office Referrals: Data was reviewed to analyze discipline that was logged logged into Aeries and PBIS Rewards in the 2018-19 school year. The data was analyzed by distribution, location, disposition, violation and referral.

School Attendance Review Team meetings are held with parents of students with excessive truancies and students that are chronically absent. Attendance is monitored weekly and school administration provides guidance and followup with parents. Parent surveys: The LCAP Parent Survey results were discussed and analyzed. From the analysis, goals were developed that address standards for teaching and learning, and college and career readiness. In addition, a goal was developed to increase parent awareness of school plans and progress towards goals. California Healthy Kids Survey: 5th grade students took the California Healthy Kids Survey during the 2018-19 school year. Student responses are available on a district-wide basis.
