DUAL LANGUAGE-ARMENIAN AT SATICOY!

Dual Language Education Can Close Achievement Gap

SUMMARY

Dual language learning has been found to be the only method of second language acquisition to facilitate the full closure of the achievement gap between English learners and English speakers in primary and secondary education. Strictly structured and well-implemented dual language instruction across all subjects of the curriculum provides all students the opportunity to develop a deep academic proficiency in two languages, which will give them the tools to become highly-sought-after bilingual professionals in today's more globalized world.

What is Smarter Balanced?

Smarter Balanced is.....

A Better Assessment System

Using the Digital Library, teachers can access resources to support student learning. Teachers can also use optional and flexible interim tests to check student progress throughout the year. Summative, or end-of-year tests, measure student achievement and growth in English and math in grades 3–8 and high school. Learn about our complete system.
A Customized Assessment

Students take a customized test using a computer adaptive format: questions get harder when students answer correctly and easier when they answer incorrectly, allowing students to better demonstrate what they know. Read more about testing technology
Designed for All Students

Additional supports make the assessments accessible to students with disabilities and English language learners. Explore accessibility and accomodations features.
Relevant to College and Career

The online format with extended research, writing, and problem solving tasks measure the critical thinking and problem-solving skills students need for success. Learn what makes the assessment useful for life after high school.
Useful for Teachers

Our system helps inform instruction and identify where students need more support. A Digital Library of tools—including professional development materials and instructional resources—is available to teachers to use all year to meet students’ individual needs. Go to the Educators page for more information.

Try it out!

Take a look at the test software and try some sample questions by grade.

Go to Practice Tests

Federal and state laws require that school districts must give a state test to students whose primary home language is not English. In California, this test is called the California English Language Development Test (CELDT).

The purpose of the CELDT is to

o Identify English learners in kindergarten through grade twelve o Measure their skill level in English
o Check their progress in learning English each year

All students in kindergarten through grade twelve, whose primary language is not English, must take the CELDT. These students must take the test within 30 calendar days after they start at a California public school for the first time. The CELDT also must be given once each year to English learners until they have learned the skills in English needed to complete their schoolwork.

CELDT will be administered from August-October

Saticoy Elementary School

Student Dress Code and Uniform Policy

Research (A Program of Union Pacific Foundation; http://www.education.com ; http://www.statisticbrain.com) shows that school uniforms support a safe and disciplined learning environment, which is the first requirement of any good school. As it was announced at the beginning of the school year through Parent Handbook, Parent Newsletter, Kindergarten Orientation and Back to School Night, as of January 12^th, 2014, there is a mandatory school uniform policy at Saticoy Elementary School.

Rationale:

School Uniform Policy will promote school safety, improve discipline, and enhance the learning environment.

The benefits of school uniforms include:

Decreasing violence and theft
Instilling student with discipline
Helping parents and students resist peer pressure
Helping students concentrate on their school work
Helping school officials recognize intruders who come to the school
Making children feel equal to their peers, in terms of appearance
Promoting a sense of school pride

School Uniform Policy

Shirts – White, Navy, Gray

Pants –Navy, Khakis, Black,

Skirts or Skorts – Black, Navy, or Tan

Shoes or Sneakers – Shoes/sneakers must fit securely on the foot.

The following shoes are not allowed:

Elevated shoes
Wheelies
Shoes on heels
Shoes with open toes
Backless shoes (flip flops, sandals, crocs, water-shoes)

Saticoy Elementary will strive to achieve full compliance through the use of positive reinforcement measures. No student will be considered non-compliant with the uniform policy in the following instances:

When the students’ parent or guardian has secured an exemption from the school policy.
When a field trip or school event may require specialized clothing

Please notify the school in writing at the beginning of the year if your child has a medical condition or religious reason that requires a modification of the dress code.

Uniforms can be purchased at a variety of retailers including, but not limited to, Old Navy, Sears, Target, Walmart, GAP, K-Mart and most department stores.

Families who are experiencing financial difficulties, will be assisted in purchasing school uniforms. Please contact Ms. Lopez/ Ms. Aridjian, Parent Community Representatives, for more information.
