Principals Message

Grace Yokley Middle School enjoys a proud history of academic excellence and high expectations for all students. What makes our school successful is the tremendous support and dedication of our staff, students and
parents. We believe knowledge is keyknowledge of the workplace, knowledge of our resources, knowledge
of our audience and knowledge of ourselves provide the perspective necessary as we collaborate to meet
the needs of our students.
The staff at Grace Yokley Middle School continues to be committed to providing the best educational program
possible for our students. The excellent qualities of our academic and enrichment programs are a reflection
of our highly talented and capable faculty. They are dedicated to ensuring Grace Yokley Middle School is a
welcoming, stimulating environment, actively involving students through academic instruction as well as helping students form positive values, make analytical judgments, and think critically and creatively. Through hard
work and high expectations, our students are challenged to reach their maximum potential.
Our parents are the backbone of our students success. They enthusiastically encourage the academic excellence of their children and help with our many activities throughout the year.
Our students not only excel academically, but also grow in the areas of respect, responsibility, positive relationships and leadership. Our students understand that their success is measured by the depth of their
character as much as it is by their grades and test scores.

School Safety
The Emergency Preparedness Plan is sent home to parents at the beginning of each school year. The plan
includes steps for ensuring student and staff safety during a disaster. Campus safety is top priority. The
school principal conducts earthquake, fire, lockdown and civil-defense emergency drills on a regular basis
in accordance with the site disaster plan. The school contains emergency supplies, food, water and rescue
equipment.
The School Site Safety Plan was adopted and implemented in December 1998. It is reviewed and revised
annually and is approved at the February/March board meeting every year; it was most recently reviewed,
updated and discussed with school faculty in August 2015.
The School Site Safety Plan was designed to assist in preparing for emergencies, managing emergency
response efforts and maintaining a safe school environment. The plan requires identification of security needs,
development of prevention and intervention techniques, evaluation of physical facilities, and communication
with staff and students. Components of the School Site Safety Plan include strategies and programs that will
provide and maintain a high level of school safety, assess current school crime occurring on campus and at
school functions, and address procedures related to the compliance of existing laws as they affect school
safety.
In 2010, Grace Yokley Middle School implemented the Safe School Ambassadors Program, a bystander
education program that harnesses the power of students to prevent and stop bullying and violence. The
program, sponsored by Community Matters, is research-based and field-tested and proven to reduce
incidents of bullying and cyberbullying, promote academic excellence, and improve the overall school climate.

Professional Development
All training for curriculum development at Mountain View School District revolves around the California State
Standards and Frameworks. Topics for training are determined by teacher need and feedback from teachers
and administrators and focus on priorities indicated in the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and
the Local Educational Agency Plan (LEAP).
The major focus for the 2014-15 school year was to support teachers in the implementation of state-adopted
Common Core State Standards. Three days of professional development were offered to all credentialed staff.
Training in the area of mathematics and technology was provided, and teachers had time to collaborate with
their colleagues regarding curriculum, instruction and assessment. Teachers were also provided with one day
of cooperative learning and student engagement structures, provided by Kagan Publishing & Professional
Development. During the 2015-16 school year, two additional days of training were provided by Kagan to
build upon training provided during the prior year. The training focused on cooperative learning and student
engagement structures for all, with a focus on the needs of the English learner.
The principal provides site-based staff development during monthly staff development meetings based on
site need and priorities as determined in the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Funding sources
include: Title II, Common Core Funding and Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Other educational opportunities, including conferences and workshops, are afforded to teachers and grade levels/departments based
on need. Many teachers improve their skills and knowledge of the curriculum by continuing their education
through workshops, conferences and university courses.

Adequate Yearly Progress


The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires all schools and districts meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements. California public schools and districts are required to meet or
exceed criteria in the following four target areas:
Participation rate on statewide assessments in English language arts and mathematics
Percentage of students scoring proficient on statewide assessments in English language arts and
mathematics
Attendance rates
Graduation rate for high schools
The table displays whether or not the school, district, and state met each of the AYP criteria and made overall
AYP for 2014-15. For more information, visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay.

California Physical
Fitness Test
Each spring, all students in grades 5,
7 and 9 are required to participate in the
California Physical Fitness Test (PFT). The
Fitnessgram is the designated PFT for
students in California public schools put
forth by the State Board of Education. The
PFT measures six key fitness areas:
1. Aerobic Capacity
2. Body Composition

Federal Intervention Program

3. Flexibility

Schools and districts receiving Title I funding that fail to meet AYP over two consecutive years in the same
content area (English language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator enter into Program Improvement (PI). Each additional year that the district or school(s) do not meet AYP results in advancement to the
next level of intervention. The percentage of schools identified for Program Improvement is calculated by
taking the number of schools currently in PI within the district and dividing it by the total number of Title I
schools within the district.
This table displays the 2015-16 Program Improvement status for the school and district. For detailed information about PI identification, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp.

California Assessment of
Student Performance and
Progress/Standardized
Testing and Reporting
Results
Beginning in the 2013-14 school year,
the Standardized Testing and Reporting
(STAR) Program was eliminated and
replaced by a new set of assessments
called the California Assessment of
Student Performance and Progress
(CAASPP).
For the 2015 school year, the CAASSP
included a mix of online and paper-pencil
assessments. The online component
contained the Smarter Balanced English
language arts/literacy and mathematics
tests. The paper-pencil science
assessments of CAASPP included
the California Standards Test (CST),
California Modified Assessment (CMA)
and California Alternate Performance
Assessment (CAPA). There was also the
optional Standards-based tests in Spanish
for reading/language arts.
The CST is a multiple-choice test in
science for varying grade levels. The CMA
is a modified assessment for students with
disabilities who have an Individualized
Education Plan (IEP). The CAPA is
an alternate assessment for students
with significant cognitive disabilities
who are unable to take the CST with
accommodations or modifications or the
CMA with accommodations.
For more information on the
CAASPP assessments, please visit
www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca.

Textbooks and Instructional Materials

Mountain View School District sets a high priority upon ensuring sufficient and current textbooks and materials are available to support our schools instructional program and on providing our students with textbooks
in the core subject areas.
The district held a public hearing on September 21, 2015, and determined that each school within the district
has sufficient, good quality textbooks and instructional materials pursuant to the settlement of Williams v. the
State of California. All students, including English learners, are given their own individual standards-aligned
textbooks or instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home. All
textbooks and instructional materials in the core subjects are aligned with the California State Content Standards and Frameworks and are selected from the states most recent list of adopted materials. A committee
consisting of administrators and teachers establishes selection criteria based on state standards, reviews
instructional materials on the state list, and makes recommendations to the board of trustees for final adoption. The district affords teachers the opportunity to carefully review the available textbook options. Mountain
View School District is in compliance with the State Instructional Materials Adoption Cycle and reviews instructional materials in each curricular area within a seven-year cycle.
