Kristen Gracia, Principal Principal, Oak Knoll Elementary Welcome to Oak Knoll School! As you walk onto our campus, you will notice the focus is on the whole child. Learning is not limited to our classrooms, but is accessible everywhere on campus. You will see children of various ages working together and learning from each other. You will see students who love to read, as evidenced by the large number of students who stroll around book in hand. In the halls, you will hear children as young as five playing violin, or classes of kids engaged in a debate, orsmall groups of students discussing their reading. If you glance into the open doors of our classrooms, you will observe students using technology as a learning tool, students engaged in dynamic lessons, and individual students sitting with their teachers receiving targeted instruction. In the Science Lab you will see students working hands-on with experiments and asking and answering scientific questions. You will notice students taking the initiative in tending our school garden, planting seeds, and caring for the chickens. You will see students running the broadcast studio that produces the KNOL morning news and will watch the student tech crew doing sound checks behind the scenes atschool-wide assemblies and performances. At recess, you will find children self-directed and participating in various games, sports and other activities, such as visiting our bustling school library. During this time, you might also notice groups of kids in the Gaga (Israeli dodge ball) pit, which students advocated for, designed according to geometric principles, and then built during math classes. Oak Knoll is a big school of over 700 students that feels small, personal and focused on its mission: every child an exemplary scholar, a valued friend, and a courageous citizen. Smart is not something you are; smart is something you get through hard work. This slogan epitomizes the school’s Mindset philosophy. We teach Dr. Carol Dweck’s “Mindset” research to our students and parents. They understand that intelligence is not an asset determined at birth, and that the brain is pliable and capable of amazing accomplishments with practice and perseverance. Oak Knoll believes in the power of relationships. We have implemented specific strategies for building long-term student/ teacher relationships. Teachers tutor every student in the classroom who has not yet reached proficiency. Tutoring is designed around academic goals and is also used as a critical time to deepen relationships. Developing exemplary scholars may be impossible without focusing on the whole child. We also emphasize students becoming valued friends and courageous citizens as part of our school mission. We keep rules to a minimum, emphasize self-directedness and creativity, and dig deeply into yearly school themes designed to build citizenship. We believe in restorative discipline and work together with our students to find solutions and strategies that work in rebuilding relationships. Our fervent belief in inclusion for students with disabilities has helped create an appreciation and celebration of unique differences. As we take our students on this educational journey, we emphasize strategies that develop a deep sense of compassion and confidence.

Oak Knoll School has 36 classrooms, a mult ipurpose room, a library, music and art facilit ies and an administrat ion building. The main campus is approximately 50years old. A major renovat ion of the facility was completed in 2010. 12 new classrooms and a new mult ipurpose facility opened in September 2010. The field,playground, and parking lots were all replaced during the modernizat ion work. W indows, door and hardware were replaced throughout the exist ing school. Mostrecent ly, Oak Knoll School had the roof replaced on the original buildings. In the summer of 2015, the District performed a seismic improvement project on all theolder classrooms built in the 1950s and 1960s. In addit ion, classroom flooring was replaced throughout the school which had flooring that was about 15 yearsold. Interior and exterior finishes were painted as needed. Roofing was also replaced on the older sect ions of the school in the summer of 2015 and 2016.

The District takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and funct ional. To assist in this effort, the Director of Maintenance and Operat ions andthe site Principal conduct an annual walk-through to ident ify and priorit ize necessary maintenance projects.

The District maintenance staff keeps the school in good repair and working order by complet ing necessary tasks in a t imely manner. A work order process is usedto ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. Cleaning standards for all schools in the district have been established. Theprincipal and Director of Maintenance and Operat ions work closely w ith the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school.

B. Pupil Outcomes

State Priority: Pupil Achievement

The SARC provides the follow ing information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4):

Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the Smarter Balanced SummativeAssessments for students in the general educat ion populat ion and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] andmathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. The CAAs have replaced the California Alternate Performance Assessment [CAPA] for ELA andmathematics, which were eliminated in 2015. Only eligible students may part icipate in the administrat ion of the CAAs. CAA items are aligned w ith alternateachievement standards, which are linked w ith the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students w ith significant cognit ive disabilit ies); and

The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that sat isfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the CaliforniaState University, or career technical educat ion sequences or programs of study.

Note: Percentages are not calculated when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small forstat ist ical accuracy or to protect student privacy.

Note: ELA test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the CAA. The “Percent Met or Exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number ofstudents who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard on the CAAsdivided by the total number of students who part icipated in both assessments.

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 stat ist icalaccuracy or to protect student privacy.

Note: The number of students tested includes all students who part icipated in the test whether they received a score or not; however, the number of students testedis not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement level percentages are calculated using only students who receivedscores.
