Big Messages
From our analysis of current school context, the following BIG messages were identified:From the SQR, the following strengths were identified:What the School Does Well
• There are good systems in place to ensure that the school runs very smoothly on a daytoday basis.
• The school’s learning environment is safe and welcoming; students feel secure and ready to learn.
• Students respond positively to the school’s high expectations of their behavior; they are very aware of the school rules and behave well in lessons and around the campus.
• The school provides a stimulating music program which engages students and enriches their learning experience.
• The principal and staff have worked well to establish positive and productive links with parents and the community which benefit students’ learning and personal development.
And the areas for improvement were:• Further improve learning and teaching by:• using assessment data more effectively to ensure that students with different needs and abilities are consistently challenged in lessons;• ensuring that students understand the learning objectives of lessons and involving them more directly in assessing their success in achieving them;• providing more opportunities for students to reflect upon their learning and assess their own and others’ work, so they have a clearer understanding about
what they have to do to improve;• extending teachers’ questioning strategies to promote higher order thinking and problem solving.
• Providing more opportunities for students to work collaboratively to extend their skills of teamwork and leadership.
• Set challenging goals for student outcomes at all levels including schoolwide, gradelevel, teacher and individual students and interim benchmarks to judge progress towards them.

Parent Engagement and Partnership ActivitiesTo Reach School Priority Goal
To directly support school priority goals (academic, non-academic, climate) in the School Development and Improvement Plan (SDIP), the plan should include a Parent Engagement and Partnership component. The component develops programs, training, and activities in the six Epstein areas below to support the school improvement goal.
Parenting
To reach school priority goal, strategies should be developed to help parents understand how they can assist their children. If the priority goal is to increase reading scores, the school should offer parenting workshops to help instill in children a love of reading, or workshops to help parents understand the content standards in the area of reading and how they can help.
Communication
To reach school priority goal, strategies should be developed to help parents with the information and the vision of the benefits of the improvement goal. If the improvement goal is to increase math scores, a communication strategy may include stories about the importance of learning math in the school’s newsletter or an awareness campaign that culminates in recognition awards.
Home Learning
To reach school priority goal, strategies should be developed that improve the teacher-parent relationship, and that helps the parent to know how to more effectively collaborate and support classroom learning.
Volunteering
To reach school priority goal, strategies should be developed that solicit the assistance of parents in areas that will help the school reach their priority goal. If the school improvement goal is to improve safety in the campus, parent volunteers could be solicited to be hall monitors.
Decision Making
To reach school priority goal, strategies should be developed to strengthen and involve parent and community leaders to partner with the school to achieve all goal. Parent leaders should assist the school in encouraging other parents to provide needed support
Community
To reach school priority goal, strategies should be developed to solicit support from community organizations, local businesses, etc. Partnering with a local business, for example, could provide the school with needed money for projects, resources or volunteers with special kinds of expertise.

Parent Engagement and Partnership ActivitiesTo Reach School Priority Goal
Communication - Each month, the school publishes a Parent Newsletter with information about school events and other important information. In addition, the school sends out Connect Ed messages to parents on a regular basis. Each trimester, a Parent Coffee Chat is organized to communicate progress toward our priorities, as well as discuss safety and other concerns.
Home Learning - Bret Harte teachers conference with parents in the fall and spring and as needed through the school year. Some teachers and staff also participate in the Home Visit Project to build better connections between home and the school. Family Nights have will be held to help families understand how to help their students be more successful academically.
Parent Committees- Bret Harte has an active School Site Council, PTA and English Learner's Advisory Committee.
Volunteers-Parents are encouraged not only to volunteer on school committees but also in the classroom, in the garden, and with yard supervision and safety.
Community Partnerships - Bret Harte has partnerships with several community based agencies who provide additional supports and services to our students and families:• Reading Partners (SCE$7500) recruit, train and organize parent and community volunteers to support our struggling readers.• Healthy Start (SCE$25,000) provides family support services including basic needs assistance, mental health services, and small group and oneone
