School Description and Mission Statement 

This section provides information about the school’s goals and programs. 

This is the nineteenth year of the School Accountability Report Card that was established by Proposition 98, an initiative passed by California voters.  As you read this Report Card, you will gain a better understanding of Wayside as a school with a record for improvement, a faculty that is professionally skilled, Highly Qualified, and personally committed to meeting the individual learning needs of all students.  We are also proud of a student body which is enthusiastic and motivated to succeed.

 

Our goals are:

 

·          To improve teaching and learning to enhance the academic achievement of all students.

·          To improve staff, parent and community participation in the educational process.

·          To enhance community trust

·          To maintain a school environment that is safe, secure and attractive.

·          To maximize the efficiency of school site operations.

·          To value individuals and recognize their contributions.

 

It is the Mission of Wayside Elementary School, with the support of parents and the community, to provide a strong academic program for all students where they will acquire knowledge and the skills that will enable them to lead productive lives.

 

Opportunities for Parental Involvement 

This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.  

We believe that parents are an extremely important and integral part of student learning at Wayside School.  Wayside parents participate in a number of organizations including: School Site Council, District Advisory Committee, District English Learners Advisory Committee, District Parent Liaison Committee, and the PTA. Even Start during school hours and Parent University in the evenings provide a variety of classes for our parents:  English-as-a-Second Language, GED, Parenting Skills.  Other meetings for parents cover such topics as: child discipline, nutrition, developmental growth, and child abuse prevention.

 

Our PTA organizes and sponsors many major fund raising activities and after school snack sales.  They fund/attend many events including:  Back-to-School Night, the Fall and Spring Carnivals, the Valentine’s Day Dance, quarterly awards ceremonies, and end-of-year programs.

 

We are fortunate to have a full-time Community Relations Liaison, and a 3-hr. Community Relations Liaison, and a full-time Safe Schools/Healthy Students Grant Counselor to coordinate many services for our students and parents.  Some of these services are referrals for clothing/uniforms, emergency food, medical treatment, other links for families to services in the community, and transportation to such services.  Specifically, our children and parents have participated in the Elks Lodge luncheon, Toys for Tots, Operation School Bell, and Volunteer Center for food baskets at Christmas.

 

We have a three hour After School Program that serves over 100 students each school day.  Many opportunities occur each month for parents to actively participate in such as assemblies on health, transportation, motivation, behavior, and character building.  The ASP also holds fun activities like dances and field trips.

 

We also have various businesses and clubs that support or sponsor our school such as Kiwanis, Lions’ Club, Southwest Lanes, Hometown Buffet, Churches Chicken, Bakersfield Blaze, Dave Coffey, Sizzler Restaurant, Golden Empire Transit, State Farm Insurance, and Bakersfield Condors.  Typically, these community organizations provide student incentives for excellent behavior, attendance, and academic achievement.
