III. School Climate
School Safety Plan (School Year 2009-10)
This section provides information about the school's comprehensive safety plan.
Cipriani holds regular fire and earthquake drills as well as a campus evacuation drill and a lock down drill. Visitors to the school campus are required to register in the office and wear a visitor's badge while on campus. Parent volunteers are required to wear volunteer badges.
In the event of an emergency such as earthquake, fire, power failure or any event that interrupts school, Cipriani School staff will respond as follows:
- If police or firemen require children to be relocated for safety reasons, regular announcements will be made on Bay Area radio stations and TV. A public information line will also be maintained at the District Office, (650) 637-4800. The staff and PTA will initiate a telephone tree.
- Staff requests that parents PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL. We must have lines open for emergency calls.
- Parents are encouraged to pick up their child and any other children for whom you are the emergency designee.
- Staff requests that when picking up children, drivers LEAVE DRIVEWAYS CLEAR FOR. EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
Each child will be released only to a parent, relative, or other persons designated on the emergency card.
Our School Safety Plan is posted on our website at cipriani.brssd.org

IV. School Facilities
School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (School Year 2010-11)
This section provides information about the condition of the school’s grounds, buildings, and restrooms, and a description of any planned or recently completed facility improvements.
Age of Buildings:This school has 16 classrooms, a library, a multipurpose room, and administrative offices (in 2008-2009). The main buildings were constructed in 1954, and modernized between 1994 and 2004.
Cleaning Standards:The District has adopted cleaning standards for each school, and a copy of these is available in the principal’s office. The principal works daily with the custodial staff to develop and implement cleaning practices that ensure a clean and safe school campus.
Maintenance and Repair:District maintenance staff, assisted as necessary by outside contractors, keep the school in good repair. Work orders are completed in a timely manner, and tracked on a computerized system of record keeping, which also allows priority to be assigned to emergency repairs.
Complaints and Reports of Conditions Requiring Remedy:Each classroom contains a notice regarding the availability of complaint or report of unsafe condition forms, which can be found in the principal’s office. The District uses the Uniform Complaint Process (per Board Policy) in responding to all filed complaints.
Of the 16 classrooms at Cipriani in the 2008-2009 school year, 14 are used for regular instruction. Another is used for the Learning Center. There are two small rooms for the Speech and Language Pathologist, the School Psychologist, and the Reading Specialist. A portable and an additional small group instruction room within the school have been made available for childcare services provided by a nonprofit agency. Before and after school care includes supervision for students in K-5, five days per week. In addition, full day care is available for participating students on non-student days as well as some holiday periods.
Every teacher uses a computer for both instruction and classroom management. Additional student computers are available. Every staff member received mandated technology training. Every staff member was provided a telephone number and voice mailbox.

IX. Student Performance
Standardized Testing and Reporting Program
The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including the California Standards Tests (CSTs); the California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). The CSTs show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. The CSTs include English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and ten through eleven. The CAPA includes ELA, mathematics, and science in grades two through eleven, and for science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The CMA includes ELA and mathematics for grades three through eight and science in grade five and is an alternate assessment that is based on modifiedachievement standards. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. Student scores are reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, can be found on the CDE Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results Web site. Program information regarding the STAR Program can be found in the Explaining 2008 STAR Program Summary Results to the Public guide. Note: Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy. In no case shall any group score be reported that would deliberately or inadvertently make public the score or performance of any individual student.

X. Accountability
Academic Performance Index
The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can be found on the CDE Academic Performance Index (API) Web page.
Academic Performance Index Ranks – Three-Year Comparison
This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from one to ten. A statewide rank of one means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of ten means that the school has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “similar schools.” A similar schools rank of one means that the school’s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of ten means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

means this is either an LEA or an Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school. Schools participating in the ASAM do not currently receive growth, target information, or statewide or similar schools rankings on this report in recognition of their markedly different educational missions and populations served. ASAM schools are covered under the Alternative Accountability system as required by Education Code Section 52052 and not the API accountability system. However, API information is needed to comply with the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. Growth, target and rank information are not applicable to LEAs.

|
means this API is calculated for a small school or a small LEA, defined as having between 11 and 99 valid STAR Program test scores included in the API. APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and therefore should be carefully interpreted. Similar schools ranks are not calculated for small schools.

Adequate Yearly Progress
The federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria:
-
Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and mathematics
-
Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and mathematics
-
API as an additional indicator
-
Graduation rate (for secondary schools)
Detailed information about AYP, including participation rates and percent proficient results by student group, can be found on the CDE Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Web page.
Adequate Yearly Progress Overall and by Criteria (School Year 2009-10)

Federal Intervention Program (School Year 2010-11)
Schools and districts receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (ELA or mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Detailed information about PI identification can be found on the CDE Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Web page.

Professional Development
This section provides information on the annual number of school days dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period.
2007-2008: 1 day dedicated to staff development
2008-2009: 1 day dedicated to staff development
2009-2010: 1 day dedicated to staff development
Staff development activities are determined through a process that begins with the staff identifying needs that are related to the goals identified in the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). 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 Single Plan for Student Achievement.
Cipriani School’s teachers participate in two days of staff development before the students return to school. One additional staff development day was conducted during the school year. A shortened day every Wednesday provided additional time for district and site grade level planning, staff development, and student conferences.
During these staff development days, teachers received training in:
- English Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Grade Level Teaming
- Curriculum Planning for the Year
- Curriculum and Instructional Practices
- Visual and Performing Arts
Individual staff members also participated in additional off-site workshops and training according to needs outlined in the SPSA.
XIII. National Assessment of Educational Progress
National Assessment of Educational Progress
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities and English language learners is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress Web page (Outside Source).
Note: Only a sample group of California's schools and districts participate in the NAEP testing cycle. Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. Comparisons of student performance on the NAEP and student performance on the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program assessments cannot be made without an understanding of the key differences between the two assessment programs. For example, the NAEP only assesses grades four, eight and twelve and for long-term trends assesses grades nine, thirteen, and seventeen. Additionally, the NAEP only provides state test results for grades four and eight. The California Standards Tests (CSTs) are based on a different set of standards than the NAEP assessments. For example, the NAEP is not aligned with California academic content and achievement standards and, therefore, does not necessarily reflect the curriculum and instruction to which students are exposed in the classroom. The NAEP assesses reading and writing separately, while the CSTs assess English-language arts (ELA), encompassing reading as well as writing conventions, spelling, and grammar. Scores on the CSTs and other assessments are not directly comparable to those on NAEP. The averages and percentages presented are estimates based on samples of students rather than on entire populations. Finally, the questions students respond to are only a sample of the knowledge and skills covered by the NAEP frameworks. Information on the differences between NAEP and CST can be found on the CDE National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Web page.
