School staff recognizes that parents/guardians are their children’s first and most influential teachers and that continued parental involvement in their child’s life can contribute greatly to student achievement and conduct. Parent involvement in the Court School setting is limited due to the fact that students are incarcerated. Parent visitation is allowed according to court order and facility visitation schedules. Appointments may be made to visit the court school with appropriate clearance. Parents may access the School Accountability Report Card at the Trinity County Office of Education website. Parents are notified of STAR and CAHSEE test results.

III. School Safety and Climate for Learning School Safety Plan Information about the currency and contents of the school's comprehensive safety plan.
Date of Last Review/Update
Date Last Discussed with Staff
2/1/06 5/17/06 A Safe School Plan is annually reviewed, modified, and approved by the advisory group and the board; students are provided with information about community resources and violence prevention; and, the school participates in safety drills each month conducted by Probation staff. Safety and security are extremely important at the Trinity County Court School. Staff and students are expected to model appropriate behavior at all times.
The 2006-2007 Safety Plan has a goal of providing a safe learning environment for students and include the following objectives:
1. Provide necessary supports for students to gain self control, improve self esteem, and prevent escalated behaviors as measured by no incidents of violence or disciplinary actions within the classroom; and,
2. Prevent accidents in the classroom as measured by no staff or student injuries.
See Safety Plan for details.
School Programs and Practices That Promote a Positive Learning Environment Information about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive learning environment, including the use of disciplinary strategies.
Every student is individually assessed upon entry. This allows us to quickly establish a personal relationship with students and provide them with an educational plan. We work very hard to see that all students receive the assistance they need to be successful. Numerous opportunities are provided on a daily basis to improve self-esteem and model appropriate behavior. We enjoy our students and focus a good deal of effort on helping them understand their personal strengths. Drug and alcohol counseling and health services are provided by Probation. A reward system is used to promote positive behaviors. Time outs are used as a way to allow a student to get their emotions under control. Suspension is an available option, but is rarely needed.
Suspensions and Expulsions Data reported are the number of suspensions and expulsions (i.e., the total number of incidents that resulted in a suspension or expulsion). The rate of suspensions and expulsions is the total number of incidents divided by the school's total enrollment as reported by CBEDS for the given year.

V. Academic Data Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, students in grades 2 through 11 are tested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests (CST) and a norm-referenced test (NRT). The CST tests English-language arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11, science in grades 5, 9, 10, and 11, and history-social science in grades 8, 10, and 11. Prior to 2005, the NRT tested reading/language arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11, spelling in grades 2 through 8, and science in grades 9 through 11. Beginning in 2005, the NRT tests reading/language arts, spelling, and mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only, and no longer tests science in any grade. California Standards Tests (CST) The California Standards Tests (CST) show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets state standards), Basic (approaching state standards), Below Basic (below state standards), and Far Below Basic (well below state standards). Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level meet state standards in that content area. Students with significant cognitive disabilities who are unable to take the CST are tested using the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). Detailed information regarding CST and CAPA results for each grade and proficiency level can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov/ or by speaking with the school principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less. CST -- All Students Data reported are the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards).

School results are compared to results at the district and state levels. Beginning in 2005, the NRT tests reading/language arts, spelling, and mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only and no longer tests science in any grade. Detailed information regarding results for each grade level can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov/ or by speaking with the school principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.
