VISIT FROM CA STATE SUPERINTENDENT JACK O'CONNELL

On Wednesday, February 24, 2010, Bates Elementary School received a special visit from California's State Superintendent of Instruction, Mr. Jack O'Connell.  Mr. O'Connell came to congratulate the students, staff, parents, and community members for their hard work in achieving the Title I Academic Achievement Award (see below).  The visit was very well-received by all, as Mr. O'Connell was very gracious in his praise of the students, staff, and administration.  He even gave some great advice to the students.  The gymnasium bleachers were full of proud parents and family members and Mr. O'Connell even got his picture taken with the February Students of the Month.  While the special visit was unexpected, it certainly gave validity to all the hard work that has been and continues to be put in by the students and school staff.

TITLE I ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Bates Elementary School is one of only 238 schools in California to be awarded the 2009-2010 Title I Academic Achievement Award.  We are very excited about this award as it acknowledges the intense commitment to learning.  This award recognizes the great efforts of all staff members, parents, and of course, the wonderful Bates students. 

To meet the criteria for this distinction, the school must demonstrate that all students are making significant progress toward proficiency on California's academic content standards. Additionally, the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged students must have doubled the achievement targets set for them for two consecutive years. For more information about the Title I Academic Achievement Awards please visit the CDE Web page at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/sr/aa/index.asp.
CALIFORNIA BUSINESS FOR EDUCATION EXCELLENCE AWARD
In addition to the Title I Academic Achievement Award, Bates Elementary School is one of only 400 schools in California to be awarded the 2009 Star School Honor Roll by the California Business for Education Excellence.  We are proud of the significance of this award, as it demonstrates our commitment to  consistent high student academic achievement making significant progress toward closing achievement gaps among all students.

To be awarded the Star School Award indicates that Bates Elementary is among those 400 schools with significant populations of socioeconomically disadvantaged students that have shown a significant increase in
grade-level proficiency and achievement gap reduction over four years.  For more information, please visit the CBEE website at: http://www.cbeefoundation.org.
