2 Every school in California is required by state law to publish a (SARC), by February 1 of each year. The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page at that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district, the county, and the state. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., state Academic Performance Index [API], federal Adequate Yearly Progress [AYP]), test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners. Internet Access I. Data and Access Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents. Additional Information For further information regarding the data elements and terms used in the SARC see the Academic Performance Index Reports Information Guide located on the CDE API Web page at District Contact Information - Most Recent Year II.

3 School Description and Mission Statement Most Recent Year San Martin/Gwinn School is a unique place that began in 1895 as a small country school in the southern end of the Coyote Valley. The plaza oak trees remind students, parents, and staff that no matter how many faces come through our school, the goal remains the same: to teach our children skills and strategies that will help them develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, prepare them for college, and and keep them safe. Our goal is to close the achievement gap in 21st century skills reading, writing, science, and math between the widely diverse student groups that populate SMG while simultaneously raising the academic performance of every student in the school. We believe that all of our students have the ability and right to learn and that students learn best in an emotionally and physically safe environment where each child is respected, valued, and included. We believe that all children can learn if we, their teachers and school staff, identify what students know and use that knowledge as the basis for planning instruction. Our goal is to prepare each child for success in secondary and postsecondary academic institutes both in the classroom and in their interpersonal relationships so they can grow academically and socially into productive members of our society. SMG is included in the After School Education and Safety (A.S.E.S.) Program which partners our school and the local Y.M.C.A. to provide literacy, academic enrichment, and safe after school alternatives for our students. Each year, 90 students attend our after-school YMCA program which includes a dinner, home work assistance, academic enrichment lessons and physical exercise, and games. The program runs from directly after school until 6:00 pm each day and is free of charge to the families. The core curriculum is differentiated and based on Common Core Standards. Teachers receive regular Professional Development utilizing research based strategies to enhance program delivery. The San Martin/Gwinn staff is also trained in interactive strategies from Guided Language Acquisition Design, systematic ELD, TCI science curriculum, and CCSS teaching strategies. Services are an integral part of the school day and may be augmented by a pullout program for special activities outside the classroom, afterschool enrichment, or independent study projects. All students work weekly in the computer and science labs where they conduct research and science experiments. K-2 students reading below grade level receive additional daily reading services through an onsite teacher trained in reading interventions. Students 3-6 grade reading below grade level attend Read 180/System 44 interventions on a daily basis. Students who excel academically in kindergarten through grade two are served within the classroom program even though they are not formally identified as G.A.T.E. until the fourth grade. Teachers work with the GATE site coordinator to offer resources for advanced-level work and extensions to the core curriculum in 4th through 6th grades. Focused English Language Development (ELD) instruction is provided for all English learners 40 minutes four days a week. All teachers at San Martin/Gwinn are certified to teach English learners and are either in the process of completing or have competed Cross cultural, Language, and Academic Development (CLAD) training and are trained in Guided English Language Acquisition. San Martin/Gwinn offers K-3 students a unique opportunity to participate in Dual Immersion Instruction through the DIME Program. Additional grade levels will be added annually until we have a full K-8 Dual Immersion strand within the San Martin/Gwinn Program.

To help with the noise in the classrooms on the Gwinn side of the campus, the folding walls were removed and permanent walls installed. The Maintenance, Grounds and Custodial staff continue to work together to provide a safe, clean and well maintained learning environment to help support student achievement. As part of Measure G Bond, San Martin/Gwinn received a technology infrastructure upgrade which included campus wide WiFi, a new phone system and clock/public address system. During the summer of 2014 the restrooms at Gwinn were renovated, transformed two classrooms into science labs and a new shade structure was installed to provide for a outdoor learning area. The interior and exterior of the campus was also painted. Funds are allocated to provide for a new administration office and student drop off and some additional outdoor learning areas for the school year.

14 Professional Development Most Recent Three Years This section provides information on the annual number of school days dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period. San Martin/Gwinn teachers continue to focus on common core literacy and mathematics for staff development. We also spend time looking for ways to improve our ELD instruction. By the end of the school year all teachers will be trained in GLAD and CCSS. Systematic ELD coaches provided four days of coaching for SMG staff during year to enhance development of interactive strategies in the classroom. Systematic ELD and interactive GLAD strategies are infused throughout the day making learning fun for all students. Additionally, teachers have been trained in the School City Data Management System. It is used to analyze student performance on quarterly Benchmarks in order to guide instruction. Teachers meet weekly to collaborate. Weekly collaborative meetings include discussions focused on current instructional strategies. K-3 teachers received 4 days of training in the Dynamic Indicators Basic Early Literacy Skills DIBELS assessment. In order to meet the early literacy skills of kinder thru third grade students. Teachers at San Martin Gwinn are encouraged to try new instructional models and find solid examples of research-based practice to help us close our achievement gap. 1/20/2015 Powered by SchoolCity, Inc Page 14 of 14
