Mission Statement:
Pacific School's mission is to prepare children for life through experiential learning that addresses the needs of the whole child. We create a safe and secure school environment that promotes social and academic growth and develops an enthusiasm for learning, a positive self-image and cross-cultural understanding.
Vision:
The staff of Pacific School is dedicated to addressing the needs of the whole child by creating a school environment wherein every child may experience success in social and academic growth, as well as develop enthusiasm for learning. Children learn to cooperate and take responsibility for their actions. They learn to function with a sense of community while maintaining individuality and creative self-expression. They are treated with kindness and respect, and learn to respect others. The multi-graded classroom environments allow children to become active participants in their own learning process.
School Accountabiltiy Report Card (SARC)
What is a School Accountability Report Card (SARC)?
Since November 1988, state law has required all public schools receiving state funding to prepare and distribute a SARC. The purpose of the report card is to provide parents and the community with important information about each public school.
The SARC begins with a profile that provides background information about the school and students. The profile summarizes the schoo''s mission, goals, and accomplishments. State law requires that the SARC contain all of the following:
- Demographic data
- School safety and climate for learning information
- Academic data
- School completion rates
- Class sizes
- Teacher and staff information
- Curriculum and instruction descriptions
- Postsecondary preparation information
- Fiscal and expenditure data
In addition, NCLB requires that SARCs contain reports concerning the "adequate yearly progress" of students in achieving state academic achievement standards, and, the extent to which "highly qualified" teachers are teaching core academic subjects.
School report cards must be updated annually.
