About This School Mary Putnam Henck Intermediate (MPH) School is located in beautiful Lake Arrowhead and is named after Mary Putnam Henck (1882-1963). She was the first teacher in Lake Arrowhead that formed our current school district. Our school opened in 1970 and remains the only intermediate school in the Rim of the World Unified School. MPH School presently serves approximately 786 seventh and eighth graders from twenty-two mountain communities within the district. We are part of the Rim of the World Unified School. The MPH staff believes each child is unique and deserving of a rich educational environment. Each student has access to a rigorous core curriculum in language arts, mathematics, science, and social science. Additionally, all students take physical education and up to two elective classes each year. Our hard working staff is both skilled and dedicated to the success of our students. We are fortunate to have many experienced and knowledgeable teachers eager to make a difference for our students. We believe in a student-centered approach, which provides an atmosphere in which a child s social, emotional, and intellectual needs are equally important. All students have special talents and are given the opportunity to develop those talents. Mission Statement Our mission is to touch the future today by assisting students to be motivated learners, productive citizens, and healthy human beings. Parent Involvement Rim of the World Unified School and MPH realize that effective schools and productive students are a direct result of parent and community involvement. We encourage parents to visit our school and to become active in their child s education. Parents and community play a very important role in the school. Understanding the school s educational program, student achievement, and curriculum assist both the school and community in ongoing program improvement. MPH parents are encouraged to participate in the school governance, Parent Teacher Association, School Site Council, and volunteer to assist in classrooms, office, and playground activities..

A copy of the plan is available for inspection by the public at each school. Safety of students and staff is a primary concern at our school. The school and district complies with all the laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to hazardous materials and state earthquake standards. The Rim of the World Unified School Safety Plan was designed to assist in preparing for emergencies, managing emergency response efforts, and maintaining a safe school environment. The plan requires identification of security needs, development prevention and intervention techniques, evaluation of the physical facilities, and communication with staff and students. Components of the Safe School Plan include strategies and programs that will provide and maintain a high level of school safety, assess current school crime occurring on campus and at school functions, and address procedures related to the compliance of existing laws as they affect school safety. The staff of MPH developed and implemented a school safety plan that includes steps for ensuring student and staff safety. The school safety plan incorporates the key elements of our Safety Plan. The current school safety plan has been in place for two years and is reviewed and updated annually. Fire and disaster drills are conducted on a regular basis throughout the school year. School safety efforts are coordinated with the, San Bernardino County, and community safety groups. The current fire hazard, blackouts, school violence, and evacuation plans are the primary concern for beginning the school year. School Discipline Practices The following table displays the rate of suspensions and expulsions (the total number of incidents divided by the total enrollment) at the school and district levels for the most recent three-year period: School Facilities: School 05-06 06-07 07-08 05-06 06-07 07-08 Suspensions 17.7 27.0 20.1 10.0 10.9 10.9 Expulsions 0.9 2.2 1.4 1.1 1.6 1.3 Cleaning Process and Schedule A team of four custodians ensures classrooms, restrooms, and campus grounds are kept clean and safe. The Rim of the World Unified School ensures that all classrooms and facilities promote and support the learning program. The district administers a scheduled maintenance and grounds program. The 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 or at the district office. Maintenance and Repair maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. Regular and corrective maintenance is handled on a priority basis and emergencies are handled immediately.

This table displays the results of that resolution. Core Curriculum Areas Textbooks for K-8 classes are approved at the state level. Local Boards of Education are then given the list of approved books the state has identified. Local Education Agencies then review the state materials and adopt the book most appropriate for local use. The following books have undergone that process, were adopted by Rim of the World Unified School 's Board of Trustees. All students in all Rim of the World Unified School have a currently adopted, state approved textbook that they can take home. Before school opens in August each year, each school is surveyed to determine if the books on hand are sufficient to meet the projected enrollment. Throughout the year, when shifts in enrollment or other events create a need for additional textbooks, orders are placed immediately. Furthermore, schools maintain extra copies of most textbooks and can borrow from each other when temporary shortages occur.

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 API 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.
