2017-20 Plan Summary

The Story

Describe the students and community and how the LEA serves them.

Describe the students and community and how the LEA serves them.

Union Hill School District is located approximately 1 mile southeast of Grass Valley, Nevada County, California on Highway 174 across from Empire Mine State Park. Union Hill began as a one room school just 20 years after California became a state and will be celebrating our 150th anniversary in 2018.

Union Hill School District consists of the Bearcat Discovery Center - serving preschool students (ages 3-4) with both fee based and subsidized programs, Union Hill Elementary School - a transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade charter school, and Union Hill Middle School - serving 7th and 8th grade students. Our enrollment in 2018-19 was approximately 711 students with 40% of our students living within the district boundaries and 60% of our students living in the surrounding school districts and attending through the charter agreement or an inter-district agreement. Demographics show 45% low-income students, 11% of our student with disabilities, and 11.4% of our students are Hispanic/Latino with the majority (82.6%) being white/non Hispanic.

We have a tradition of excellence in academics and family engagement. At any given time 4 generations may be present on campus engaged in learning and supporting learning. Each year approximately 25% of the 8th grade graduates celebrate having been a student in UHSD since preschool.

We focus on our students. Every conference, meeting, exchange, problem/solution is characterized by the quality of genuine caring about what is best for our students. Our success is measured by the success of our students. To support their success the district has invested in student support with a full time Director of Student Services and Special Education, a full time psychologist, full time

counselor, a full time speech and language teacher, full time Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and 3 full time Registered Behavior Technicians. Because of a strong Physical Education program we enjoy celebrating highly successful after school athletics featuring teams in cross country running, track, nordic skiing, volleyball and basketball for boys and girls. Our teachers also work as a team and know that issues often have more than one side. We handle controversy, deliberations, teaching, problem solving and future thinking with real care for the students and each other.

We recognize and celebrate the talents and contributions of our staff. We observe and appreciate the hard work of our teachers, support staff, custodians, office personnel, and administrators.

We are a welcoming, friendly, and open community. We take pride in our entire learning environment from classrooms and student safety to buildings and grounds. We value our parents and community as essential partners in the learning processes necessary for student success.

LCAP Highlights

Identify and briefly summarize the key features of this year's LCAP. In 2019-20 our focus is on providing support for staff and students. It is still a high priority to support our new staff as they become assimilated and learn Union Hill standards and practices. We have now New Employee Orientation Day in August and have provided all staff continued training in new curriculum adoptions and behavioral intervention strategies. We will continue to develop a deeper understanding of our continuous improvement cycle through 18 early release days and 2 staff development days

We have set two goals: 1. Increase the percentage of 7th-8th grade students performing at or above grade level in mathematics and English language arts.

2. Improve the academic performance of students, the school climate, and student attendance by engaging all students and staff in regular activities offered through the Union Hill Bearcat of Character Program, and by support and intervention services offered on a school wide basis.

Since we are a K-8 district high school metrics will not be used to monitor the progress of our goals. We have begun collecting information on chronic absenteeism even though that metric is not in place currently at the state level. We will focus on identifying student needs and attending to those needs through expanded intervention opportunities.

Review of Performance

Based on a review of performance on the state indicators and local performance indicators included in the California School Dashboard, progress toward LCAP goals, local self-assessment tools, stakeholder input, or other information, what progress is the LEA most proud of and how does the LEA plan to maintain or build upon that success? This may include identifying any specific examples of how past increases or improvements in services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth have led to improved performance for these students.

Greatest Progress

The greatest progress was made in math. The overall status is 7.2 points below the standard but we increased 40.9%. White students increased 41.6% to a status just 5.7 points below standard. In
