That our students will respect one another, the diversity of our surrounding community and will come to desire life-long learning through modern strategies and resources together with enthusiastic staff members, involved parents and a supportive community. The vision of Palos Verdes Intermediate School is to provide our youth with an educational environment that challenges all students to develop their social, emotional, and academic potentials. Our students, together with enthusiastic staff members, involved parents, and the community, will respect one another, will appreciate the diversity of our surrounding community, and will come to desire life-long learning. Palos Verdes Intermediate School is in a picturesque setting, nestled in the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Palos Verdes Intermediate School campus provides a rich environment for its students and staff. The efforts of the community, parents, teachers, staff, and students have created a tradition of excellence at PVIS. Since inception, Palos Verdes Intermediate School has been a high achieving school. Through programs especially tailored to meet the developmental needs of early adolescence, Palos Verdes Intermediate School is committed to providing all students with the academic and personal foundations needed to be prepared for a challenging high school curriculum and to participate positively as members of the local and global community. To encourage achievement and personal development, PVIS offers a supportive social and emotional atmosphere. The school has adopted a unique model in the District, providing an additional school counselor along with a school assistant principal. The additional counselor offers more support to students so our Safe Schools Counselor can focus her attention on student s personal growth and character development. Creating a rich physical, academic, social, and emotional environment at PVIS is clearly a team effort. The dedication and commitment of all stakeholders demonstrates a deep pride in the school and places a high value on ensuring that every student reaches his or her potential. We have also completely restructured our Special Education department and implemented a model that includes full inclusion for most of our resource students. Collaboration is occurring in these classrooms with a Direct Study Instructor available at all times. With the generous support of all district stakeholders, we have piloted our STEM program and plan to expand the program in the coming years. It is with all of these assets in place that we were proud to accept a California Distinguished School award for the year 2011-12 Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2012-13) Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2012-13) Last updated: 1/14/2014 Page 3 of 34
Palos Verdes Intermediate School parents are a very important part of our school. The time and efforts of our parents have and continue to be an important part of our school s overall success. The Parent Teacher Student Association along with the Booster Club offers every parent ample opportunity to get involved in the day to-day activities and running of our school. There are multiple opportunities for parents to participate at the committee level. One of the most popular committees is Parents on Campus. The POC helps supervise during lunchtime. They walk around the school and talk with the students helping to maintain a safe, caring environment for everyone. Also, we have parents who help us chaperone dances, field trips and assist in the Library. Through our school newsletters, the PTSA, Booster Club and school administration continually encourage all parents to become involved in their student s education. Our English Language Advisory Committee along with our various community cultural support groups help assure every parent has an avenue to access and get involved with their child s school.

Student Performance Standardized Testing and Reporting Program The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including: California Standards Tests (CSTs), which include English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and nine through eleven. California Modified Assessment (CMA), an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards in ELA for grades three through eleven; mathematics for grades three through seven, Algebra I, and Geometry; and science in grades five and eight, and Life Science in grade ten. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), includes ELA and mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The assessments under the STAR Program show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. On each of these assessments, student scores are reported as performance levels. For detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, see the CDE STAR Results Web site.

Accountability Academic Performance Index The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of state academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. For detailed information about the API, see the CDE API Web page. Academic Performance Index Ranks Three-Year Comparison Academic Performance Index 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 ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest ten 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 ten 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.

School Facilities School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (School Year 2013-14) School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (School Year 2013-14) The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean safe, and functional. To assist in this effort, the district uses a facility survey instrument developed by the State of California Office of Public School Construction. The results of this survey are available at the school office, at the District office, or on the Internet at WWW.pvpusd.k12.ca.us. Below is more specific information on the condition of the school and the efforts made to ensure that students are provided with a clean, safe, and functional learning environment. Age of School Buildings This school has 31 classrooms, a multipurpose room, a library, and an administration building. The main campus was built in 12964. At that time is was called Margate Intermediate School. Due to declining enrollment the school was closed in 1991 and then, because of increased enrollment District-wide, reopened in 2002 as Palos Verdes Intermediate School. Between 2002 and 2004 portables were added to the campus. Seven are used as classrooms and two are used for lockers. Maintenance and Repair District maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. An online work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. Cleaning Process and Schedule The District Board of Education has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office, at the District office, or on the Internet at www.pvpusd.k12.ca.us. The principal works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Deferred Maintenance Budget The District participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides state matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement to existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems School Facility Good Repair Status (School Year 2013-14) Last updated: 1/17/2014 System Inspected Systems: Gas Leaks, Mechanical/HVAC, Sewer Interior: Interior Surfaces Cleanliness: Overall Cleanliness, Pest/ Vermin Infestation Electrical: Electrical Restrooms/Fountains: Restrooms, Sinks/ Fountains Safety: Fire Safety, Hazardous Materials Structural: Structural Damage, Roofs External: Playground/School Grounds, Windows/ Doors/Gates/Fences Repair Status Fair Fair Fair Fair Fair Fair Fair Fair Repair Needed and Action Taken or Planned Overall Facility Rate (School Year 2012-13) Page 17 of 34

School Completion and Postsecondary Preparation Admission Requirements for California s Public Universities University of California Admission requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state s high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college course work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work. For general admissions requirements, please visit the UC Admissions Information Web page. California State University Eligibility for admission to the California State University (CSU) is determined by three factors: Specific high school courses Grades in specified courses and test scores Graduation from high school Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses have local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For admission, application, and fee information see the CSU Web page.

Instructional Planning and Scheduling Professional Development Professional Development This section provides information on the annual number of school days dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period. Professional Development for the 2012-2013 school year was focused on the awareness and then the transition to the Common Core State Standards. The academic achievement of all students through a rigorous and balanced curriculum has been the primary concern as we transitioned to the K-12 implementation of the Common Core State Standards. All teachers received information and training in the areas of critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. Professional development has included an understanding of the major shifts of the CCSS as well as the integration of these shifts into the instructional program. Teachers have learned common language and strategies for implementation of the Common Core. All PVPUSD educators understand the timeline for the assessments and technology implementation related to the Common Core State Standards. During the 2013-2014 school year Curriculum-Instruction-Assessment teams have been created at every grade level with representation from all of the school sites. Teachers have been able to share strategies, research, lessons, assessments, etc. with their implementation of the Common Core. Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSAs) have demonstrated lessons at sites and have provided additional support by conferencing and being available to answer questions.
