The Pre-School
In 2007 McClave
operated a district pre-school. Children
attended classes in a separate building with a privacy fenced play area and
large sunshade. Parents had the option
for after-school care for any child enrolled as well.
The Elementary School
The
Art, music, and physical
education were offered to all grade levels in addition to the standard
curricular areas of reading, writing, spelling, phonics, math, science, and
social studies.
The Junior High and High School
Both the junior high and high
school were housed in the same facility.
Teachers were shared between all grade levels in grades 6 through
12. McClave also incorporated a
traditional schedule where students met with the same order of classes
everyday. Students were offered eight
classes every day. The schedule for the junior high and high school is on the next
page of this report. Course offering
information as well as teachers per subject information can be gleaned from
this matrix.

reunions, school barbecues, dinners, dances, shows, displays, health fairs,

Teachers will use and be
evaluated on classroom practices based on data driven instruction and
individual student growth. The District
will provide a testing service such as NWEA to test all children in grades pre
through 11th every year. Individual students tested will show growth every year
as proven by the District test.
McClave will administer the
Colorado CSAP tests as scheduled.
Individual Learning Plans will
be developed for all students in jeopardy of being found not proficient or
partially proficient in all grades. Dibels will be used to determine struggling readers
throughout the Elementary School.
ACT scores and their
relationship to the school program will be evaluated throughout the first
accreditation period by the accreditation team as outlined later in this
contract and the team’s findings will be published locally.
The District will continue to
offer distance learning classes and study the relationship to specialized and
on line instruction over traditional classroom methods. The District will also
develop kindergarten and 1st grade local level testing as well as comprehensive
screening and identification procedures to be used in the pre-school and
kindergarten through third grades. The accreditation team will publish their
findings locally.

District Review of Schools and Local Accreditation of those
Schools
The schools recognized in the
local district review process by the District Accreditation Team will be the
McClave Accountability Committee
plus one parent and one teacher from the elementary, junior high and high
school and will serve as the assessment team.
The team will meet during both parent teacher conference days and
analyze each schools results and progress.
The team will generate a report on each of the schools and submit that
report to the McClave Board of Education with recommendations for actions. The team developed a comprehensive assessment
rubric for the district during the 2003-2004 school year for each school based
on the goals stated in this contract.
The McClave School Board will award local accreditation status to each
school based on that report and in turn report all findings to the Colorado
Department of Education for further review and action. The McClave Accreditation Team will recommend
one of the following levels of accreditation for each of the schools,
elementary, junior high or high school based on the team-developed rubric.
·
The school is advanced
– that school will be recognized as advanced and exemplary in the community.
·
The school is
proficient – that school will be recognized as such in the community.
·
The school is
partially proficient – a written improvement plan will be submitted by the
staff of any school in this category to the superintendent with specific goals
and timelines for implementation. The
school will be evaluated semi-annually thereafter until the school is
determined to be proficient. If a school
is found only partially proficient for more than one year it may be subject to
unsatisfactory status.
·
The school is
unsatisfactory- that school will be put on probation and the Board of Education
with guidance from the superintendent and the McClave Accreditation Team will
develop an improvement plan for that school.
This school will receive priority for district resources and be subject
to substantial change.
Teachers in schools found to be
unsatisfactory will have their educational benefits specifically assigned to
further the goals of the
