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 the Report Card, you will gain a better understanding of William Penn as a school with a record for improvement, a faculty that is professionally skilled and personally committed to meeting the learning needs of students and a student body which is enthusiastic and motivated to perform to the best of their ability.

 

Our mission is to provide a positive and effective integrated learning environment.  This will give students successful experiences that promote high achievement and will create respect and appreciation for self and others.

 

Opportunities for Parental Involvement 

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

As part of William Penn’s effort to improve and strengthen parental involvement, we have provided a description of organized opportunities where parents have a voice in the decisions that affect the school and ultimately the lives of their children.  Parents would provide input in the following areas:

(1) District policies and decisions regarding their implementation

(2) School Site Council – opportunities to serve on a board with teachers and the principal.  DELAC, SAC, and DAC representatives.

(3) Parent Liaison – An appointed parent who works on behalf of the school, keeping the community informed and providing information where and when it is needed.
