Nesbit School, located in the City of Belmont on the peninsula south of San Francisco, is one of five elementary schools in the Belmont- Redwood Shores School District. Students are promoted to the 6th grade at Ralston Middle School, the only middle school in the District. The Nesbit School community consists of families
for whom education is a priority. The school is the hub of the community
for many of these parents. Families enthusiastically support the Parent
Teacher Association, School Site Council and countless volunteer activities
and projects. Pride in Nesbit’s distinguished school recognition was reflected
from all members of the school community. Nesbit School's mission is to create educational opportunities with high standards in a nurturing, respectful environment and to develop the full potential of each student in our diverse community. |

Course of Study
Instruction and Support for Special Needs Support for special needs of students begins with Student Success Teams comprised of parents, teachers, specialists, and administrators, who meet regularly to develop strategies to help students become more successful in school. They coordinate school resources and services which may include:
School Site Leadership Nesbit teachers have been recognized by the San Mateo County Kent awards for special achievement. Paul Ternullo, June Irhazy, Sally Burgess, and John DaBaldo have been recognized for their integrated activities in the arts. Gina O’Neal was cited for her exceptional work with inclusion students. Teachers also serve on district wide curriculum committees, as mentor teachers responsible for staff training, and as master teachers for college students. Instructional Staff Qualifications All teachers are credentialed by the State of California. All Nesbit teachers have completed graduate work. All substitutes used by Nesbit School have passed a qualifying examination administered by the State of California. When a teacher is absent from class, a qualified substitute teacher teaches the class. If a substitute is not available, the class is taught by a credentialed district administrator or a teacher without a regular class assignment. Last year, teachers averaged about 1 day of absence per month. This included illness, in-service training, and other leaves. Student/Teacher Ratio Classrooms have a maximum class size of 20 students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade. During 2000-2001, K - 3rd grades were staffed at a ratio of 18.5 to 1. With rare exceptions, classes do not exceed 28 students in grades 4 and 5. Through SIP and Title I funds, instructional assistants were provided for all classrooms. Further assistance is provided by parent volunteers in the classroom. They help with small group and individual instruction in various content areas. Three tutors from the College of Notre Dame also work with small groups of students through the America Reads program. |
|
Staff development activities are determined through a process which begins with the staff identifying needs that are related to the goals identified in the School Improvement Plan. District-wide needs identified through the “Futures” planning process are also incorporated into the plans for staff development. The calendar and topics for staff development conducted on non-student days are identified in the School Improvement Plan each year. Nesbit School’s teachers participate in one day of staff development before the students return to school. Two additional staff development days were conducted during the school year. Students are dismissed early on Wednesdays to provide teachers with opportunities for collaborative planning, grade level articulation, and other training. During staff development times, teachers received training in:
Individual staff members also participated in
off-site workshops and training of their choice in order to keep abreast
of educational research and increase knowledge and skill in curricular
areas. |

The District has adopted the following textbooks in accordance with State standards.
The State and District provide regular classroom materials to support our program goals. Enrichment and supplemental materials are purchased through SIP funds and with the help of the Parent Teacher Association. Additionally, the PTA gives money directly to teachers to use for classroom enrichment. Every classroom at Nesbit School is equipped with a television, VCR, and 1 to 6 Internet connected student computers and printers. There are three scanners, five digital cameras, a multimedia presentation projector, and one video camera available on campus for student and teacher use. Each teacher has a computer workstation as well. Eleven classrooms are equipped with an FM amplification system.

The entire school library collection of 6,760
books is electronically catalogued. In addition, the library contains
