Marshall Lane Presents Plans for Addressing Learning Gaps for ELLs
​
Principal Amy Vanderbosch and Assistant Principal Michelle Beddo presented an overview of the school's continuous improvement work and how the work is aligned to the district's core values, pillars, and Local
Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals. The presentation was candid and focused on the strategies being used to address the learning gap among students who are English Language Learners (ELL).

​
Transparency and Progress in Student Achievement Data
​
Dr. Pamela Cheng, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning, and Emalie McGinnis, Director of Data Analysis and Accountability, presented the district's 2024 CAASPP results, offering a yearly snapshot of student performance. Although overall data shows little change, key strategies like Common Formative Assessments (CFA) analyzed in the Professional Learning Communities (PLC) are allowing for more frequent and targeted response to address skill gaps. The district plans to expand these efforts across all schools. See the PDF of the slides or visit Board agenda Item 10.6.

You have control over how and when you receive ParentSquare notifications from your child's school and district. The attached handout in both English and Spanish can tell you how.

It can be especially helpful for families who have several students, because it gives you one place to get all messages from your child's teachers,  the school office, and the district. 

You can choose to receive notices by email, text and/or the free ParentSquare app.
