Helen Estock Elementary School
School Accountability Report Card
Reported Using Data from the 2014-15 School Year
Published During 2015-16
By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or
the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district, the county, and the state. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners. Internet Access Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents.

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 schoolsite. Opportunities for Parental Involvement (Most Recent Year)
Parents at Estock Elementary School participate in our Parent, Teacher Association (PTA), School Site Council (SSC), English Language Advisory Council (ELAC), District English Language Advisory Council (DELAC), Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Committee, and the Superintendent's Advisory Council. Our community strives to have a strong link between the school and home by working closely with the teaching staff and supportive adults in the child's life. The Parent/Student/Teacher Compact was developed and implemented by the Estock School Community to strengthen this link. Parents are kept informed with bilingual notification messages, classroom newsletters, and school messages. One of our main focuses for the upcoming school year is to increase participation in community services, non-profit organizations and our own Parent Teacher Association. Currently, the Tustin Assistance League provides uniforms, Help Me Grow provides assessments for child development for parents of children ages 0-6, Families Forward provides backpacks, Christmas and Thanksgiving Baskets for our families, and Community Action Partnership helps families receive food stamps. These outreach efforts encourage parent involvement on our campus. Some of the many opportunities for parent involvement include: Author's Tea Celebrations, PTA involvement, English Learner Advisory Council, School Site Council, room parents, family movie nights, parent newsletters, classroom newsletters and Haiku pages, parent teacher conferences in the fall and spring, the annual Multicultural Fair, Mother/Daughter Tea, Father/Son Night, school gardens and fundraising opportunities. Translators and interpreters are used at all family events to provide an inclusive environment for all families. Together our parents and staff work to provide the best possible education for our students.

Estock staff identified our Signature Practice as Balanced Literacy for schoolwide emphasis and focus. Student achievement data was used to determine the needs for professional development. Teachers are offered several full days of training at the district level, including a summer institute, and have ongoing professional development at staff meetings, after school workshops, grade level collaboration, and release time with substitutes during the school days. Teachers participate yearly in a variety of district and site offered professional development opportunities. All grade levels collaborate regularly, as teams to review assessment data, analyze student performance data and adjust curriculum and long-range lesson plans accordingly. Teachers are trained in Response to Instruction (RtI) strategies and procedures, Houghton Mifflin Language Arts materials and procedures, Systematic ELD kits and procedures and training in GATE strategies for depth and complexity for all students with a focus on differentiation. Additionally, teachers have on-going training in the many technological tools (Grade Cams, Smartboards, ELMOs, IPADs) used in the classroom. Many different methods of professional development are offered to include: Grade level training and collaboration, instructional coaching from a site based coach, district mentors, conference attendance, and after school workshops. Teachers are encouraged and supported with grade level collaboration meetings, grade level meetings with administrator, individual meetings with administrator, and peer assistance from colleagues. Additionally, select members of the staff and the school's instructional coach participated in a two year program with the Cotsen Foundation Art of Teaching. These teachers received high levels of professional development in their identified goal areas. The strategies, skills and resources that they learned have been shared with the Estock faculty. Continued participation in Cotsen offerings are encouraged, with sharing amongst staff occurring.
