Striving towards excellence is an ongoing process at Cole Canyon Elementary School. To this end,
we use standards-based curriculum and assessments to provide a strong base for our
instructional program.
Our mission is to inspire the hearts and minds of all students every day. We invite parents and
community members to join us as we continue to set high expectations for our students that will
help them be successful. Educating our youth must be a partnership. Together we can prepare
today’s students to succeed in tomorrow’s world.

About the SARC
A. Conditions of Learning
Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School
Accountability Report Card (SARC), by February 1 of each year. 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.
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.
•
•
•
•
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/.
View this SARC online at the school and/or LEA Web sites.
For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2014-15)
Educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade. In California, the State Board of Education
(SBE) decides on the standards for all students, from kindergarten through high school, in all public schools. In 2010, a number of states across the
nation adopted the same standards for English and math. These standards are called the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). On August 2, 2010,
California’s SBE voted to adopt the CCSS with California additions. California has committed to implementing the California CCSS and is currently part
of a multi-state assessment consortium that plans on having CCSS-based assessments in place by the 2014–15 school year. More information about
the California Common Core State Standards may be found on the CDE CCSS Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/cc
On September 4, 2013, the SBE adopted the Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve (CA
NGSS).
School districts have the authority and the responsibility to conduct their own evaluation of instructional materials and to adopt the materials that best
meet the needs of their students. All textbooks used in MVUSD are aligned with the State’s standards and curriculum frameworks, they are field tested
with students and reviewed by administrators, teachers and parents before being adopted by the Board of Education.

School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (Most Recent Year)
Cole Canyon Elementary School opened in August of 2000 as the seventh elementary school in the Murrieta Valley Unified School District. The school
has 48 classrooms, a multipurpose room with a kitchen, a computer lab, library, an outdoor eating area, an amphitheater, administrative offices, a
health office, teacher workrooms, and two play areas—one for kindergarten students and one designated for students in grades one through five.
Childcare facilities for students in grades kindergarten through five are located on campus in a separate room.
We have ample space for the number of students enrolled at the school. At certain times during the school year the school may be at or near capacity.
When that occurs, new students may be assigned to an overflow school in the district where classroom space exists.
The district’s Facilities and Operational Services Department provides upkeep, maintenance, and cleaning of district schools. Schools and rest rooms
are cleaned daily and the principal works with the custodial staff to ensure a clean and safe school. Any graffiti is removed as soon as it is discovered.
District maintenance staff picks up litter and maintains landscaping on a regular weekly schedule.
Corrective and preventative maintenance are scheduled on a routine basis to keep the school in good repair and working order. Work order requests
assigned through a computerized work order system ensure that emergency repairs are given the highest priority.

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
Parents are welcome at school, and the school staff sincerely appreciates their support and participation. Parents are invited to attend Back-to-School
Night in the fall, Open House in the spring, and parent-teacher conferences in November. Our Parent Involvement Policy emphasizes parent
participation as volunteers in classrooms and in various special events.
Parent and community involvement are encouraged through our Parent Teacher Club (PTC) and School Site Council (SSC). The PTC is actively involved
in Red Ribbon Week, school-wide assemblies, book fairs, and activities to enhance school and community spirit, as well as reward and incentive
programs. The SSC, comprised of seven parents and seven staff members, works toward purchasing additional support curriculum materials. Each
grade level takes at least one field trip per year and parents are encouraged to chaperone the trips. Each grade level has a special in-school event such
as Colonial Day or Gold Rush Day, and parents are strongly recruited to participate and run hands-on learning centers. Please contact our principal to
find out how you can volunteer.
State Priority: School Climate
The 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.
School Safety Plan
Safety is a high priority at our school. Administrators, classified staff, and teachers monitor the campus, supervise the students, and ensure a safe
learning environment. Cole Canyon Elementary is a closed campus that is fully fenced. Visitors and volunteers must report to the office for permission
to be on campus. School resource officers are available to respond to the school in the event assistance is needed. Our computerized calling system,
Blackboard Connect, is used to call all families immediately in an emergency. Video surveillance throughout our campus is a deterrent for significant
issues.
The district holds quarterly safety meetings and our School Site Council works on our Safety Plan throughout the year. The plan is presented to all staff
and parents and there are numerous student assemblies that address safety issues. We adopted a Comprehensive School Safety Plan that we regularly
review; our last review was in November 2014. The School Safety Plan is created by a committee composed of staff and parents. A parent review
evening was held in November to review the plan and ask for community input.
Video surveillance cameras across our campus are a deterrent to trespassers, vandalism, and other illegal activities. They also assist administrators with
discipline issues and help in the investigation of any crimes that may occur on campus either during the school day or after school hours, making our
school safer and more secure. The Spriego reporting system allows parents and students to report problems such as bullying and safety concerns
online.
Murrieta Police Department officers teach the DARE curriculum to all fifth graders to give them the skills and confidence necessary to resist the use of
alcohol, drugs, and gang involvement. The district has a strictly enforced antidiscrimination policy that prohibits harassment of students or staff based
on race, gender, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.
To prepare for emergencies, evacuation drills are conducted regularly throughout the school year, and our school actively participates in the statewide
Great Shakeout. After each drill, we assess effectiveness and implement new procedures as needed. In addition, the school has an Emergency and
Disaster Preparedness Plan that aligns with the NIMS emergency system. The plan specifies procedures for dealing with fire, flood, earthquakes,
lockdowns, hazardous materials, disaster recovery organization, and student accountability following a disaster.

Types of Services Funded at Cole Canyon Elementary School
The district provides a wide array of programs to meet the needs of our diverse student body. This includes programs to identify and support students
and their families through times of crisis and stress. A health technician, nurse, and psychologist are also available to meet with students.
The district provides an elementary counselor to our school approximately one day a week to support academic success. Counselors teach guidance
lessons and facilitate small groups on social skills, anger management, grief and loss, military support. They also provide individual responsive services,
interventions and referrals on an as needed basis.
Homework clubs, before- and after school tutoring programs, and extended learning opportunities during the summer break provide additional
support for students who need assistance with basic curriculum.
Professional Development provided for Teachers at Cole Canyon Elementary School
All teachers in the district participate in ongoing professional development as a part of their commitment to being an educator. We support new
teachers through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program, which allows new teachers the time to reflect on their teaching
practice with the help of a mentor teacher.
Staff development is an important element of teacher development and community building. Teachers take part in staff meetings that are used for
instructional training and staff communication. Modified days are collaborative opportunities that are designed by teachers and focused on supporting
student learning. Staff development days are held three times throughout the year.
Key areas of focus for the 2013-2014 school year included Thinking Maps, using technology effectively to support math and language arts, response to
intervention, and Professional Learning Communities.
Students are released from school early every Monday so staff can meet in professional learning communities to discuss student achievement and
learning.
