The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in a LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC webpage at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. View this SARC online at the school and/or LEA websites. For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Webpage at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school principal or the district office.

Pupil Outcomes The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Pupil Achievement State Priority (Priority 4): Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress and its predecessor the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program); The percentage of pupils who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University, or career technical education sequences or programs of study. California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress California EC Section 60640 authorized the replacement of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program with a new assessment program, referred to as the CAASPP. All students in grades three through eight and eleven were assessed using computer-based tests in English/Language Arts and ; students in grades five, eight, and ten were also tested in Science. Science assessments were paper-based and included California Standards Tests (CSTs), California Modified Assessment (CMA), and California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). Students receive an overall score for each subject, ranging from 2,000 to 3,000. Overall scores are reported within one of four levels: Performance Level 1: Standard not met - Needs substantial improvement for success in future coursework. Performance Level 2: Standard nearly met - May require further development for success in future coursework. Performance Level 3: Standard met - Demonstrates progress toward mastery. Performance Level 4: Standard exceeded - Demonstrates advanced progress toward mastery. ELA results include information about the students performance in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and research. Reports of mathematics results include information about students performance in problem solving, using concepts and procedures, and communicating mathematical reasoning. The table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards) in English Language Arts/Literacy (grades 3-8) and math (grades 3-8).

C. Engagement State Priority: Parental Involvement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Parental Involvement State Priority (Priority 3): Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each school site. Contact Information Parents or community members who wish to participate in leadership teams, school committees, school activities, or become a volunteer may contact Livermore Valley Charter School at (925) 443-1690. Parent Involvement (School Year 2015-16) LVCS believes, and research demonstrates, a child s success in school dramatically increases when parents or family members are involved at school in the education of their child. LVCS seeks to create a school environment that invites family participation and involvement. At LVCS we work as a community united in a common purpose. In order to create a strong school community where every child can reach his or her full potential, each family must be involved at the school. Just as we view each child as a unique individual, so we, at LVCS, see each family as a unique partner in their child s education. Just as each child has his or her strengths and challenges, so does each family. With this belief, LVCS has several ways for families to be involved. LVCS Support Organizations & Fundraising To support programs and student events, the LVCS Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and the Choice for Children Educational Foundation (CCEF) raise the majority of their funding through donations and fundraising activities. As members of the LVCS community, you are not required to fundraise or make donations in order for your child to attend LVCS. Volunteering at the school is an excellent way to be involved in the education of your child. Please partner with LVCS to make this the best school that it can be for your child. Volunteers can do a range of work from helping in the classroom, tutoring small groups, teaching a specialty class, or joining a volunteer committee. LVCS would not exist without the work of parent volunteers. In order for LVCS to succeed we need this strong partnership to continue. Ideally, each family will invest 60 hours per year (or approx. 2 hours per week) to help the school achieve its mission and vision. We recognize that each family will contribute in different ways. We welcome the participation of all parents. We have many jobs that can be undertaken during non-school hours. At LVCS we do not want our families to view involvement as a burden, but rather as an opportunity and privilege. Your support is important to LVCS and we truly depend on family participation to accomplish our goals. Parent Teacher Organization The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) at LVCS is a nonprofit parent-teacher organization whose membership includes all parents or legal guardians and staff at LVCS. The PTO is actively involved in providing extracurricular activities, family events, and volunteer opportunities to create and promote a strong community environment at the school. The PTO mission is to establish a close relationship between home and school by advancing opportunities for all parents to become involved in the LVCS community. The PTO provides financial assistance to the LVCS classroom teachers by raising funds for supplemental educational materials. The PTO also provides a non-biased forum for sharing information on issues that impact our children. The LVCS PTO believes that the team effort of a parent-teacher organization offers the best possible learning environment for our children. Choice for Children Education Foundation The Choice for Children Education Foundation (CCEF) is a non-profit, public benefit corporation created to be a supporting foundation to LVCS.
