2015-16 School Accountability Report Card for Upland High School Page 2 of 10

About the SARC By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). 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 and 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 an 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 Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.

• For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.

• For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office.

B. Pupil Outcomes

State Priority: Pupil Achievement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4): • Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student

Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students in the general education population and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. The CAAs have replaced the California Alternate Performance Assessment [CAPA] for ELA and mathematics, which were eliminated in 2015. Only eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. CAA items are aligned with alternate achievement standards, which are linked with the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students with significant cognitive disabilities); and

• The percentage of students 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

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 schoolsite. Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2016-17) Parents are actively involved in Upland High School. Parents participate in and attend school events and support booster organizations for athletics and performing arts. Participants provided advice and governance through participation in advisory councils such as the School Site Council, English Language Learners Advisory Committee, Parent Teacher Student Association, and the Highlander Education Foundation. The school website serves as a source of information for parents, students, and the community to learn more about the school and opportunities for involvement and assistance. The school uses direct mail and ConnectEd messaging to inform parents about school activities, and the school newspaper is distributed monthly to parents, community members, staff, and students. Parent emails are available to staff through SchoolLoop, and teachers and parents communicate by phone or email when there is a question or concern. Many staff members maintain web pages with specific information about their courses and programs. Parent volunteers actively participate in registration, Back-to-School Night, freshman orientation, testing, and other workshops. State Priority: School Climate The SARC provides the following information relevant to the School Climate State Priority (Priority 6): • Pupil suspension rates; • Pupil expulsion rates; and • Other local measures on the sense of safety. School Safety Plan Upland High School fosters an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Upland Unified School District has clear safety guidelines and provides ongoing training for students and staff. I August 2016, the district participate in active shooter training in coordination with the Upland PD, fire department, and the first responders from neighboring cities. The high school staff responds immediately to parent or community safety concerns. The most common offenses are disruption and defiance, and UHS has a zero tolerance policy for drugs and weapons. Efforts to maintain a safe campus environment are evidenced by regular disaster drills, the strategic placement of surveillance cameras, the presence of a School Resource Officer on campus, visitor sign in/sign out procedures, a professionally staffed health office, and safety standards in science, industrial arts, athletics, and other appropriate courses. Clear procedures and policies are documented in a parent-student handbook and online at the school’s website. ConnectEd, an automated phone system provides families with up-to-date announcements and information. The comprehensive school plan is available at the school site in the Office of Student Services.

Professional Development provided for Teachers The Upland Unified School District believes that high quality, research-based professional development is essential to continuous improvement of teaching skills and concepts. The District provides or coordinates on-going training based on needs identified through student performance indicators, including results of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, the California English Language Development Test, district and site based assessments, and input from sites regarding specific needs. Professional development is aligned with our Local Control Accountability Plan and District Strategic Plan, teachers, paraprofessionals and administrators participate in workshops and conferences that allow them to grow professionally and provide opportunities for collegial sharing. Regular meetings of teacher leaders in literacy, mathematics, reading intervention and technology as well as follow-up coaching support full implementation of training. Additionally, each school provides time for teacher collaboration on instructional pedagogy, student achievement data, curriculum development, and review of classroom-based performance measures. Examples of workshops and coaching implemented as the result of analysis of student achievement include: Effective Teaching, Classroom Management, Curriculum Alignment and Mapping, Project GLAD, Project IMPACT, AVID, Thinking Maps, Positive Behavior Intervention Support, 21st Century Classroom Technology, Common Core State Standards, Modeling Academic Language and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. Staff members participate in professional development in all-day workshops, after-school workshops and meetings, individual coaching/mentoring, and off-site conferences. The

Career Technical Education Programs Upland High School offers a full range of CTE courses in the following industry sectors: Arts, Media, & Entertainment, Building Trades, Engineering, Fashion, Hospitality, Marketing Services, and Transportation. Articulation agreements with the community college and the California State University are reviewed and renewed each year. These courses are offered in conjunction with our regular curriculum, Regional Occupation Program, Project Lead the Way, and the National Academy Foundation. Grants and a local bond measure have provided equipment and infrastructure upgrades to support and enhance the programs. Several courses such as video production, multimedia design, and Introduction to Engineering Design meet the UC/CSU VPA requirement and several others meet the elective requirement. A Pathways Advisory Council meets at least twice a year to review the courses, provide technical guidance and industry tours, and offer internships and hands-on opportunities.
