DESERT MEADOWS │ 6855 W. Meadows Loop East │602-304-2020 │Computer Science Desert Meadows’ vision is to have all students reach their academic and social potentials, with technology serving as a catalyst to learning. Meadows has created a computer science-focused learning environment where technology is used along with traditional learning strategies to keep students fully engaged. Teachers use Google Classroom to build assignments, ask questions, and create discussions for their students to access online. This also allows them to create a “flipped classroom” where students review the lesson online at home and complete projects and exercises in class with their peers. Desert Meadows students take notes digitally with Chromebooks and have access to safe email accounts. Middle school students use digital portfolios to set goals and show academic growth to their fami-lies. Technology is not only found in the core academic areas, but has been integrated in elective classes as well. Stu-dents are offered a technology class focused on using technology in the classroom and at home, iPads are used in music and art, and there are coding and media clubs that further promote the use of technology.

CHEATHAM │ 4725 W. South Mountain │602-237-7040 │College Prep Dedicated to preparing students to be high school and college ready, Cheatham offers Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). AVID accelerates student learning by using research-based instruction and providing motiva-tional learning. AVID is a philosophy that promotes the belief, “Hold students accountable to the highest standards, provide academic and social support, and they will rise to the challenge.” AVID teaches skills and behaviors for aca-demic success, provides intensive support utilizing tutorials and strong student/teacher relationships, creates a posi-tive peer group for students, and develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained through hard work and determination. Students who are part of AVID learn specific organizational skills and experience increased rigor in their core academic areas. They also participate in a variety of community service activities.

MAURICE C. CASH │ 3851 W. Roeser │602-237-9120 │Blended Learning & Kids at Hope Using a blended learning model, M.C. Cash combines teacher directed instruction and computer based instruction to address the needs of all students. As part of this model, students have access to a variety of additional digital pro-grams including Stride Academy — an engaging online learning program customized to accelerate learning in English Language Arts and Math by providing supplemental online practice, tutoring help, and intensive intervention. Addi-tionally, students in Grades 3-7 participate in Achieve3000, a cloud-based, literacy program that provides daily in-struction for non-fiction reading and writing that is individualized for each student’s reading level. M.C. Cash has also adopted Kids at Hope, a framework designed to engage entire communities to support success for all children, no exceptions. It is a belief system based on the following three universal truths: Children succeed when they are surrounded by adults who believe they can succeed, no exceptions; when they have meaningful and sustainable relationships with caring adults; and when they can articulate their future in four domains: Home and Family, Education and Career, Community and Service, and Hobbies and Recreation. The entire Cash campus works together to create an incredible environment to ensure students are successful.

Laveen Elementary School District

Signature Programs

Each Laveen school offers a signature program that enhances the educational offerings by providing courses that not only pique students’ interests

but prepare them for high school and beyond.

5001 W. Dobbins │ 602-237-9100 │ www.laveeneld.org

LAVEEN SCHOOL │ 4141 W. McNeil │602-237-9110 │ Leadership Academy Laveen Elementary School is a leadership academy that strives to educate and empower all of its students to do their personal best by making positive, effective, and responsible choices. They do this through providing leadership opportunities in all aspects of academics and activities. Laveen Elementary uses the “Leader in Me” program to sup-port that mission and also to help realize their vision of creating lifelong learners that are equipped and prepared to better the world around them. This program helps improve academic engagement, comprehension, and perfor-mance by strengthening individual work habits and improving social interactions. It improves student performance and supports academic success by fostering the qualities of independence, interdependence, and renewal.

TRAILSIDE POINT PERFORMING ARTS ACADEMY │ 7275 W. Vineyard │602-605-8540 │ Performing Arts Studies show that students who are involved in the performing arts tend to be better students and achieve better academically. For this reason, Trailside Point has created a number of performing arts classes from which students may choose. More than 50% of their students are involved in a specific performing arts class besides general mu-sic. Classes offered include: ukulele, choir, percussion ensemble, beginning and advanced guitar, beginning and ad-vanced orchestra, beginning and advanced band, drama, set design and production, Readers Theatre, broadcasting, and speech and debate. Since implementing the performing arts classes, the school has seen students shine. Stu-dents who are otherwise quiet or withdrawn have opened up and gained confidence from being on stage.

PASEO POINTE │ 8800 S. 55th Ave. │602-304-2040 │ Dual Language Immersion Paseo Pointe School offers a dual language immersion (DLI) program in Spanish. Students receive instruction in two languages following a 50/50 model in which participating students spend half of their day in a classroom where teaching and learning are done in English, while the other half of the day is done in Spanish. Research shows stu-dents who develop two or more languages have certain cognitive advantages. They do as well or better than their peers in English-only programs. DLI is offered in Grades preschool– third for the 2018-19 school year. Students entering preschool, kindergarten, and first grade are required to participate in the DL program. This program will expand a grade level each year until the school is 100% DLI through the eighth grade. Students in other grade levels receive Spanish language instruction.

Preschool is tuition-based.

ROGERS RANCH │ 6735 S. 47th Ave. │602-304-2030 │STEM STEM education focuses on academic programs that combine science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in meaningful, hands-on, inquiry-based learning environments. Rogers Ranch students are immersed in learning activi-ties that incorporate these concepts as they foster 21st Century skills such as critical thinking, information literacy, and collaboration and investigate solutions to real-world problems. STEM topics are integrated into all subject areas including social studies, art, music, and physical education. While Rogers Ranch is STEM-focused, students will con-tinue to develop literacy skills, frequently writing and utilizing informational text related to STEM topics. Rogers Ranch School’s facilities feature a fully equipped Paxton—Patterson Action Lab. Here, students rotate through different modules of STEM activities such as aerodynamics, clean energy mechanisms, and forensics. Les-sons are computer-based, hands-on, open-ended, and focus on problem solving.

VISTA DEL SUR ACCELERATED ACADEMY │ 3908 W. South Mountain │602-237-3046 │ Accelerated Pace Vista is an accelerated school where students work a grade level ahead in mathematics and English language arts. Science and social studies are on level, but accelerated at a faster pace as well. Students who demonstrate academic aptitude in mathematics are able to take high school level algebra and geometry. Middle school students also take high school level Spanish. Students taking high school level courses have an opportunity to take Phoenix Union High School District’s qualifying test which determines their placement for the following year. Because of its accelerated pace, students must take an assessment prior to enrolling. Parent involvement at Vista is high as parents are ex-pected to volunteer a minimum of seven hours each year.

Annual Notification to Parents Regarding Confidentiality of Student Education Records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education

records. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the

student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights

have transferred are "eligible students."

• Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school

within 45 days of a request made to the school administrator. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless

it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records without copies. Schools may charge a fee for copies.

• Parents or eligible students have the right to request in writing that a school correct records that they believe to be

inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to

a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has

the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

• Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information

from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the

following parties or under the following conditions:

o School officials with legitimate educational interest

� A school official is a person employed or contracted by the school to serve as an administrator, supervisor,

teacher, or support staff member (including health staff, law enforcement personnel, attorney, auditor, or other

similar roles); a person serving on the school board; or a parent or student serving on an official committee or

assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks;

� A legitimate educational interest means the review of records is necessary to fulfill a professional responsibility

for the school;

o Other schools to which a student is seeking to enroll;

o Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;

o Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;

o Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;

o Accrediting organizations;

o To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;

o Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and

o State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and

place of birth, honors and awards, sports participation (including height and weight of athletes) and dates of attendance unless

notified by the parents or eligible student that the school is not to disclose the information without consent.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that protects the rights of students with disabilities.

In addition to standard school records, for children with disabilities education records could include evaluation and testing

materials, medical and health information, Individualized Education Programs and related notices and consents, progress

reports, materials related to disciplinary actions, and mediation agreements. Such information is gathered from a number of

sources, including the student's parents and staff of the school of attendance. Also, with parental permission, information may

be gathered from additional pertinent sources, such as doctors and other health care providers. This information is collected to

assure the child is identified, evaluated, and provided a Free Appropriate Public Education in accordance with state and federal

special education laws.

Each agency participating under Part B of IDEA must assure that at all stages of gathering, storing, retaining and disclosing

education records to third parties that it complies with the federal confidentiality laws. In addition, the destruction of any

education records of a child with a disability must be in accordance with IDEA regulatory requirements.

For additional information or to file a complaint, you may call the federal government at (202) 260-3887 (voice) or 1-800-877-

8339 (TDD) OR the Arizona Department of Education (ADE/ESS) at (602) 542-4013. Or you may contact:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ED 506 FORM

FOR APPLICANTS:

PURPOSE: To comply with the requirements in 20 USC 7427(a), which provides that: “The Secretary shall require that, as part of an application for a grant under this subpart, each applicant shall maintain a file, with respect to each Indian child for whom the local educational agency provides a free public education, that contains a form that sets forth information establishing the status of the child as an Indian child eligible for assistance under this subpart, and that otherwise meets the requirements of subsection (b)”. MAINTENANCE: A separate ED 506 form is required for each Indian child that was enrolled during the count period. A new ED 506 form does NOT have to be completed each year. All documentation must be maintained in a manner that allows the LEA to be able to discern, for any given year, which students were enrolled in the LEA’s school(s) and counted during the count period indicated in the application.

FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS:

DEFINITION: Indian means an individual who is (1) A member of an Indian tribe or band, as membership is defined by the Indian tribe or band, including any tribe or band terminated since 1940, and any tribe or band recognized by the State in which the tribe or band resides; (2) A descendant of a parent or grandparent who meets the requirements described in paragraph (1) of this definition; (3) Considered by the Secretary of the Interior to be an Indian for any purpose; (4) An Eskimo, Aleut, or other Alaska Native; or (5) A member of an organized Indian group that received a grant under the Indian Education Act of 1988 as it was in effect on October 19, 1994. STUDENT INFORMATION: Write the name of the child, date of birth and school name and grade level. TRIBAL ENROLLMENT INFORMATION: Write the name of the individual with the tribal membership. Only one name is needed for this section, even though multiple persons may have tribal membership. Select only one name: either the child, child’s parent or grandparent, for whom you can provide membership information. Write the name of the tribe or band of Indians to which the child claims membership. The name does not need to be the official name as it appears exactly on the Department of Interior’s list of federally-recognized tribes, but the name must be recognizable and be of sufficient detail to permit verification of the eligibility of the tribe. Check only one box indicated whether it is a Federally Recognized, State Recognized, Terminated Tribe or Organized Indian Group. If Terminated Tribe or Organized Indian Group is elected, additional documentation is required and must be attached to this form.

Federally Recognized- an American Indian or Alaska Native tribal entity limited to those indigenous to the U.S. The Department of Interior maintains a list of federally-recognized tribes, which OIE can provide you upon request.

State Recognized- an American Indian or Alaska Native tribal entity that has recognized status by a State. The U.S. Department of Education does not maintain a master list. It is recommended that you use official state websites only.

Terminated Tribe-a tribal entity that once had a federally recognized status from the United States Department of Interior and had that designation terminated.

Organized Indian Group- Member of an organized Indian group that received a grant under the Indian Education Act of 1988 as it was in effect October 19, 1994.

Write the enrollment number establishing the membership of the child, if readily available, or other evidence of membership. If the child is not a member of the tribe and the child’s eligibility is through a parent or grandparent, either write the enrollment number of the parent or grandparent, or provide other proof of membership. Some examples of other proof of membership may include: affidavit from tribe, CDIB card or birth certificate. Write the name and address of the organization that maintains updated and accurate membership data for such tribe or band of Indians. ATTESTATION STATEMENT: Provide the name, address and email of the parent or guardian of the child. The signature of the parent or guardian of the child verifies the accuracy of the information supplied.

The Department of Education will safeguard personal privacy in its collection, maintenance, use and dissemination of information about individuals and make such information available to the individual in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act.

POLICY ON MEAL BALANCES

The Child Nutrition Services Department strives to provide nutritious meals to students each school day. While there are circumstances that occur from time to time in which students do not have adequate funds to cover the price of lunch, unpaid meal charges place a large financial burden on the school district. The purpose of this policy is to es-tablish formal procedures surrounding outstanding meal balances and to communicate those procedures to families within the district.

When a student’s account balance drops to the equivalent of two lunches remaining, the cafeteria manager will pro-vide a verbal reminder to the student to bring more lunch money. This amounts to $0.80 for a reduced-price student and $4.40 for a full-paid student. Students who forget to bring lunch money or do not have sufficient funds to cover the price of the lunch will be able to accrue up to two charges; thereafter, students will be provided a meal at no cost that consists of a cheese sandwich, fruits, vegetables, and white milk. This meal still meets all USDA meal re-quirements. Students will never be denied nourishment due to lack of lunch money.

Students may not purchase a la carte items if a balance exists on their account. During the month of May, students will not be permitted to charge meals. Parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring that their students' lunch balance is paid in full before the end of each school year. Cafeteria Managers will send periodic letters home to par-ents when accounts become negative. Parents and guardians may also create an account to monitor their students' lunch balances and set low balance alerts atwww.EZSchoolPay.com.

Families may apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits at any time during the school year at www.EZMealApp.com. Adults and visitors may not charge meals. As a reminder, Laveen Elementary School District offers free breakfast to all students, regardless of their eligibility status. Please join us in the cafeteria 30 minutes prior to the start of school for a healthy start to the school day.

Breakfast — Always free. Every day.

This non-refundable donation is eligible for the Arizona State Income Tax Credit as allowed by ARS §43-1089.01.

Please consult with your personal tax preparer to determine the application of this credit.

Donations must be received by April 15, 2019 to be eligible for a 2018 Tax Credit.

Arizona allows taxpayers to dedicate dollars to education while reducing the amount you owe on your 2018 taxes through the tax credit program. For every dollar you donate, the amount you owe on your Arizona taxes will be that much less. If you do not owe taxes, the amount you donate may be carried forward for up to five years to offset future tax liabilities. For example, if a single person owes $300 on their state taxes for 2018 and donates the maximum amount of $200, they will then only owe the state $100. Couples filing jointly may donate any amount up to $400. Individuals may contribute up to $200. Anyone can participate, married or single, with or without children.
