LCAP Actions and Services Update is provided under Information/Discussion. We have been addressing virtually all and are making sufficient progress on them. The State Board of Education at the November meeting last week adopted the new Science materials. We have been in communication with El Dorado County Office of Education who invited us to participate in their process for reviewing materials. We welcomed two new students to Bear Valley last week. We have a total of 4 now. The ski resort in Bear Valley (Skyline Bear Valley Mountain Resort) and the school have been in communication to discuss options for students to be able to have some snow sport field trips. The CA Dashboard results should be ready for next Board meeting and we hope to be presenting these results at the December meeting. As you know, our school facilities bond measure, Measure B, passed. Our next step is to form a budget oversight committee to review expenditures. This can happen after the County certifies the election and our Board passes a resolution certifying the election as well. Klaus will be presenting more on this during his business managers’ report. Trustee Mecak and I will be providing an update on involving the community in the selection of the new principal for DVES

During the 2017-18 school year, Diamond Valley Elementary School utilized a variety of positive behavioral interventions and supports to help contribute to an effective learning environment. These strategies included: - Warning
- Reset Time/Reflection
- Conference with student
- Administrator intervention/counseling
- Counselor intervention/counseling
- Counseling during non-instruction time
- Restitution
- Intensive Supervision
- In-school interventions (classroom or office)
- Parent informed (email/phone/in-person)
- Referral to/Collaboration w/ Law Enforcement
Based on teacher feedback, Diamond Valley Elementary School instituted an Alternative Instructional Setting opportunity for those students who were struggling academically and/or behaviorally within the traditional classroom setting. Diamond Valley Elementary School also instituted an Alternative Recess setting for those students who struggled behaviorally during the traditional playground setting. Moving forward, Diamond Valley Elementary School has implemented a number of strategies to further increase communication with parents/guardians and staff regarding discipline. These strategies have been based on stakeholder input, both in person conversations and through the LCAP process. Some of these strategies include the utilization of the Remind App and administration maintaining a communication log. In addition, Diamond Valley Elementary School has implemented a structured recess and staggered recesses to help increase the yard personnel to student ration. It is believed by the MTSS team this will help reduce the number of incidents on the playground.
