Core Program

All students recieve instruction in grade level standards - everyday. Teachers work diligently to ensure learning by working collaboratively, sharing and creating best practices and common formative assessments (CFAs).

Response to Intervention (RTI)

In efforts to meet every learner's academic level, we implement a daily- 30 minute Response to Intervention Program. Teachers work with students to enrich and extend, reteach, or provide other structural lessons to increase student achievement.

English Language Development (ELD)

Everyday, our English Learners (ELs) receive structured instruction in key English skills for at least 30 minutes. Students are determined to be English Learners by the responses of questions on the Home Language Survey that is on the District's Registration Card. Annually, students that are EL take a test called CELDT (California English Language Development Test) that assesses the student's English Language Skills. The goal of this program is for students to master English skills such as Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. Once students have gained mastery, they may be Redesignated.

Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)

In 2012-2013, the district moved one of its two Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) programs to Burbank. The district aims to fill these classrooms (1-2nd grade class, 1 - 3rd, 1 - 4th, 1 - 5th) with students that qualify for the GATE program through the OLSAT (Otis-Lennon School Ability Test) that our district administers in the Spring of each year. While our district has the students to fill these classrooms with GATE identified students, often times, and for many different reasons, students that qualify for the program do not enroll in it. Therefore, we attempt to identify other students that show high achievement on our campus and enroll them in the GATE program as "Cluster Students".
