The academically challenging curriculum is designed for students who can learn independently
with weekly teacher instruction. Students have the opportunity to enroll in rigorous classes both
online and at our comprehensive high schools, i.e. Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment and IB.
Tenaja Canyon Academy students can also co-enroll in Career Training Education (CTE) classes
and in the comprehensive high schools’ performing arts programs and competitive athletics.
Students can also take dual-enrollment courses at Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) enabling them
to earn college credits while in high school. With Tenaja’s on-line courses, students with varying
levels of readiness are able to work at their own pace. This flexible, independent approach to
learning in a small and caring environment where students are encouraged to succeed meets the
needs of our diverse student population.
Martina Beach-Hedges, Administrator
Major Achievements:
* In 2015, 77 percent of our students met or exceeded proficiency in English Language Arts on the
CAASP (new state assessments)
* Expansion of Tenaja Canyon Academy to Elementary Students in MVUSD
* 100% Graduation Rate for 2015.

About the SARC
A. Conditions of Learning
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 at (951) 304-1661 or
the district office.

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2015-16)
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.

Our facility was built in 1997 and is in very good condition. There is ample space in our classroom for the number of students enrolled in the program.
The district 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. District maintenance staff maintains landscaping on a regular weekly schedule. Corrective and
preventative maintenance is scheduled on a routine basis to keep the school in good repair and in working order. Work order requests assigned
through a computerized work order system ensure that emergency repairs are given the highest priority.

accuracy or to protect student privacy. The number of students tested includes students that did not receive a score; 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 students with scores.

Double dashes (--) appear in the table when the number of students is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical
accuracy or to protect student privacy. The number of students tested includes students that did not receive a score; 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 students with scores.
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
Parent involvement is encouraged through the School Site Council and participation in the WASC accreditation process. Teachers reach out to parents
on a regular basis via phone, e-mail, or in person. Because Tenaja is a smaller academic community, Parents have access to teachers, counselor and
administrator on a regular basis to discuss their child's academic progress, health concerns, post-high school plans and any other concerns or issues.
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
School safety is a high priority and is ensured by a program of clearly delineated rules and procedures for all students. Teachers make connections with
students and develop relationships to motivate them. The Tenaja Canyon Academy School facility is located on the same campus as Creekside High
School. After the gates are locked at 7:35 am, the only access to school grounds is through the front office and visitors must check in prior to being
allowed on campus. A Campus Security staff member assists the administrator and staff in supervising the students and ensuring a safe learning
environment. A School Resource Officer from the Murrieta Police Department is on campus daily. Video surveillance cameras across our campus are a
deterrent to trespassers, vandalism, or other illegal activities that might occur on campus. The school’s Comprehensive Safety Plan is reviewed annually
in the fall. Fire, duck and cover, and lockdown drills are practiced each semester. The district’s Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan specifies
procedures for dealing with fire, flood, earthquakes, acts of violence, hazardous materials, disasters, and student accountability following a disaster.
We have a computerized calling system, Blackboard Connect, to inform all families immediately if an emergency arises.

Career Technical Education Programs
Our graduates are prepared to enter the workforce based on their completion of a rigorous curriculum of core academic subjects along with 40 hours
of community service. Community service teaches students the importance of volunteer work and provides them opportunity to explore different
career paths. Through the comprehensive high schools in our district, Career Training Education (CTE) offers programs to train students to enter the
work force as a skilled worker. These course credits go towards graduation requirements in the appropriate subject area. The flexibility of our program
allows Tenaja Canyon Academy students to easily access these CTE courses at the various times they are offered at the district comprehensive high
schools.
All students are required to complete a senior exit interview/presentation in their senior year. This process starts with a career inventory in ninth grade
and in tenth grade each student continues their Individualized Learning Plan through one-on-one sessions with their counselor. In their junior year,
each student must write a reflective essay that is scored with a common district rubric. This process culminates with the senior exit presentation. Each
senior student must successfully complete the exit interview which is conducted before a select panel of staff and community members. The topic of
this presentation style interview will allow for each student to reflect on their high school experience and present their post high school plan.
