School Info

To ensure a smooth transition from Early Childhood Education (ECE) to Kindergarten, one Kindergarten teacher from each elementary school will meet three times each year with ECE teachers to discuss the necessary skills needed for a successful ECE to Kindergarten transition. These meetings will be held at the District Office or virtually and facilitated by the ECE Principal who shall gather input from the elementary school principals and/or Kindergarten department leads. The incoming ECE students will also have the opportunity to visit the Kindergarten classrooms. Each year, the parents of incoming kindergarten students will have the opportunity to attend an informational Kindergarten meeting at the elementary school to meet the elementary school principal and Kindergarten teachers. The parents will be provided with instructional materials and supplies to assist their students over the summer. These articulation efforts and meetings will be supported through centralized Title I funds.

The following school plan (SPSA) is generated based off of an analysis of student achievement data completed by staff and the School Site Council. The actions and expenditures are adjusted to address the needs of the students. The SPSA is reviewed and monitored in the fall and the spring.

Students are assessed utilizing probes selected from the core curriculum, Imagine Learning, STAR interim assessments, and common grade level created assessments. This data is used to target tier I instruction including small teacher-led groups and to develop/monitor tier II intervention groups.

Cathedral City Elementary School worked cooperatively with the District Office to revise this school plan. The plan is developed according to specific guidelines established by the California Department of Education and Education Code.
