School Description and Mission Statement
This section provides information about the school's goals and programs.
 The mission statement of the K-12 Independent Study Center of Paso Robles Public Schools is to provide a safe and supportive  learning environment for all our students and staff; to give instruction based on student need, state curriculum, state standards, and educational research; and, to encourage students to become productive members of their community.
 

Opportunities for Parental Involvement
This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.
Because of the unique nature of the K-12 Independent Study Center, parents do take a very active and direct role and responsibility in the school. At the K-8 Independent Study/Home School, all parents work directly with the teacher to ensure educational success at heir weekly instructional meetings. Parental input and involvement is the hallmark of K-8 school’s academic success. At the 9-12 High School level, we have a work experience program for students working in the community. These employers provide valuable work experience for students during the school year. In addition, students may receive job training services through the Private Industry Council (PIC). The Private Industry Council provides up to 500 hours of job training at each site and pays the salary of the student with the understanding the student will be hired on after their training period. K-12 Independent Study Center has a School Site Council which provides feedback on needed changes in curriculum and instructional practices. Moreover, the majority of our community is beginning to view the K-12 Independent Study Center as a viable alternative to the more mainstream schools for students whose educational needs are not being achieved at the more traditional school. For information on volunteering at our school, contact the coordinator at 237-3370.

II. School Climate

School Safety Plan
This section provides information about the school's comprehensive safety plan.
 

There are two main components of safe and effective schools. Component one focuses on people and programs, while component two focuses on places or the physical environment of the school each component addresses the overall safety of the school.

Component One: People and Programs: In this component, schools develop strategies which promote a caring school community and create a safe school climate by providing an atmosphere where students feel they belong.

Programs that reinforce a caring and safe school are as follows:

  • Positive behavior support
  • Bullying-prevention programs
  • Drug and alcohol prevention programs

Component Two: Physical Environment: In this component, schools develop strategies to create a safe physical environment that is cheerful, comfortable, and free of dirty, dreary, or graffiti-filled buildings.
Classrooms and furnishing should have:

  • Adequate lighting
  • Positive posters, bulletins, and signs displayed
  • Crisis response procedures in place
  • Law enforcement partners
  • Graffiti removal and vandalism repair
  • Safe and clean restrooms

School Discipline Practices
This section provides information about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive learning environment, including the school's use of disciplinary strategies.

 
As an Independent Study School , the vast majority of our students and parents meet individually with teachers during their weekly scheduled meeting. While on our campus, all students are subject to the guidelines of our Behavior Code agreement and a Rights and Responsibility contract that they sign upon enrollment. While using the resources of our study hall, Distance Learning Lab or Career Center , students are supervised and maintain appropriate behaviors. On a quarterly basis, high school students are recognized for perfect attendance and academic excellence with our Student Recognition Program Wall Plaques. Elementary students receive awards and recognition for solid attendance and personal achievement. Our nurturing and supportive trained educators have created an environment at the elementary and secondary levels that are governed by the following:

● Community of Caring philosophy
● Individualized educational plans for each student
● Direct parent involvement in educational process
● Commitment to challenging education
● Use of technology to enhance curriculum offerings
● Special counseling/advisory services

Substitute Teacher Availability
This section provides information about the availability of qualified substitute teachers and the impact of any difficulties in this area on the school's instructional program.
The district has a pool of substitute teachers available for assignment when a classroom
teacher is absent. By State law, credentialed teachers may substitute at any grade level and in
any subject. We try to place substitute teachers in their area of expertise. On rare occasions
when substitutes are unavailable, administrators and other properly credentialed staff are assigned to cover classes. 
 

Teacher Evaluation Process
This section provides information about the procedures and the criteria for teacher evaluations.
 
Providing high quality instruction is crucial. Our teachers are recognized throughout the
county for their knowledge and expertise. Our staff is fully credentialed to teach within their
subject or specialty areas. More than thirty percent of our teaching staff holds education
credentials of a master’s degree or above. To honor our outstanding teaching professionals, our
elementary schools have been named after former educators in the community. Many of these
educators continue to remain active volunteers at their "namesake" schools.

Teachers and administration collaborate through an established evaluation system. The
principal formally evaluates tenured teachers every two years. Temporary and probationary
teachers are evaluated yearly. All teachers are observed frequently. The evaluation may include
instructional techniques, adherence to the curriculum, the learning and environments, and other
assigned professional duties, as well as monitoring student progress. A formal evaluation
includes teacher/administrator conferences, goal setting, classroom observations, and a written
evaluation. If a teacher’s performance is not effective, the principal identifies areas requiring
improvement and develops a program for improvements with the teacher. The principal is
evaluated every year by a central office supervisor.

IX. Accountability

Academic Performance Index

The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/.

API Ranks -- Three-Year Comparison
This table displays the school's statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest 10 percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest 10 percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched "similar schools." A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school's academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing 10 schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school's academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

Adequate Yearly Progress
The federal NCLB act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria: Detailed information about AYP, including participation rates and percent proficient results by student group, can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/.

AYP Overall and by Criteria
This table displays an indication of whether the school and the district made AYP overall and whether the school and the district met each of the AYP criteria.

Federal Intervention Program
Schools and districts receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English-language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Detailed information about PI identification can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/.
