ASSURANCES FOR SCHOOL PLAN


Act 135 Assurances

Assurances, checked by the principal, attest that the district complies with all applicable Act 135

requirements.

__X___ Academic Assistance, PreK–3

The school makes special efforts to assist children in PreK–3 who demonstrate a need

for extra or alternative instructional attention (e.g., after-school homework help centers,

individual tutoring, and group remediation).

__X___ Academic Assistance, Grades 4–12

The school makes special efforts to assist children in grades 4–12 who demonstrate a

need for extra or alternative instructional attention (e.g., after-school homework help

centers, individual tutoring, and group remediation).

__X___ Parent Involvement The school encourages and assists parents in becoming more involved in their

children’s education. Some examples of parent involvement initiatives include making

special efforts to meet with parents at times more convenient for them, providing

parents with their child’s individual test results and an interpretation of the results,

providing parents with information on the district’s curriculum and assessment

program, providing frequent, two-way communication between home and school,

providing parents an opportunity to participate on decision-making groups, designating

space in schools for parents to access educational resource materials, including parent

involvement expectations as part of the principal’s and superintendent’s

EVALUATION/EVIDENCEs, and providing parents with information pertaining to

expectations held for them by the school system, such as ensuring attendance and

punctuality of their children.

__X___ Staff Development The school provides staff development training for teachers and administrators in the

teaching techniques and strategies needed to implement the school/district plan for the

improvement of student academic performance. The staff development program reflects

requirements of Act 135, the EAA, and the National Staff Development Council’s

revised Standards for Staff Development.

__X___ Technology

The school integrates technology into professional development, curriculum

development, and classroom instruction to improve teaching and learning.

__X___ Innovation The school uses innovation funds for innovative activities to improve student learning

and accelerate the performance of all students. Provide a good example of the use of

innovation funds.

__X___ Recruitment

4

The district makes special and intensive efforts to recruit and give priority to serving

those parents or guardians of children, ages birth through five years, who are considered

at-risk of school failure. “At-risk children are defined as those whose school readiness

is jeopardized by any of, but no limited to, the following personal or family situation(s):

Educational level of parent below high school graduation, poverty, limited English

proficiency, significant developmental delays, instability or inadequate basic capacity

within the home and/or family, poor health (physical, mental, emotional) and/or child

abuse and neglect.

__X___ Collaboration The school (regardless of the grades served) collaborates with health and human

services agencies (e.g., county health departments, social services departments, mental

health departments, First Steps, and the family court system).

__X___ Developmental Screening The school ensures that the young child receives all services necessary for growth and

development. Instruments are used to assess physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and

cognitive developmental levels. This program normally is appropriate at primary and

elementary schools, although screening efforts could take place at any location.

__X___ Half-Day Child Development The school provides half-day child development programs for four-year-olds (some

districts fund full-day programs). The programs usually function at primary and

elementary schools, although they may be housed at locations with other grade levels or

completely separate from schools.

__X___ Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum for PreK–3 The school ensures that the scope and sequence of the curriculum for PreK–3 are

appropriate for the maturation levels of students. Instructional practices accommodate

individual differences in maturation level and take into account the student's social and

cultural context.

__X___ Parenting and Family Literacy The school provides a four component program that integrates all of the following

activities: interactive literacy activities between parents and their children (Interactive

Literacy Activities); training for parents regarding how to be the primary teachers for

their children and full partners in the education of their children (parenting skills for

adults, parent education); parent literacy training that leads to economic self-sufficiency

(adult education); and an age-appropriated education to prepare children for success in

school and life experiences (early childhood education). Family Literacy is not grade

specific, but generally is most appropriate for parents of children at the primary and

elementary school levels and below, and for secondary school students who are parents.

Family Literacy program goals are to strengthen parent involvement in the learning

process of preschool children ages birth through five years; promote school readiness of

preschool children; offer parents special opportunities to improve their literacy skills

and education, a chance to recover from dropping out of school; and identify potential

developmental delays in preschool children by offering developmental screening.

__X___ Coordination of Act 135 Initiatives with Other Federal, State, and District

Programs

5

The district ensures as much program effectiveness as possible by developing a district-

wide/school-wide coordinated effort among all programs and funding. Act 135

initiatives are coordinated with programs such as Head Start, First Steps, Title I, and

programs for students with disabilities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF NEEDS ASSESSMENT FINDINGS


Data referenced is from Hilton Head Island Elementary School for the Creative Arts and

Satellite Daufuskie Island Elementary School

Hilton Head Island and neighboring Daufuskie Island S.C., assumed by some to be affluent

resorts and retirement areas, are home to 1,650 public school students in grades one through five.

800 attend Hilton Head Island Elementary School for the Creative Arts. Because of their age

and the fact that Daufuskie is only accessible by a 40 minute ferry ride, eleven students in grades

prekindergarten to grade five attend Daufuskie Island Elementary School. Because of the small

number of students Daufuskie Island Elementary became a satellite school to Creative Arts

during the 2010-11 school year. Again, because of the small number of enrolled students,

enrollment, attendance and reporting of Daufuskie students is through the School for the Creative

Arts.

Wikipedia states, “Hilton Head Island or simply Hilton Head is a Low-country resort town located on an

island of the same name in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States. It is 20 miles (32 km)

northeast of Savannah, Georgia, and 95 miles (153 km) southwest of Charleston. The island gets its name

from Captain William Hilton. In 1663, Hilton identified a headland near the entrance to Port Royal

Sound, which he named "Hilton's Head" after himself. The island features 12 miles (19 km) of beachfront

on the Atlantic Ocean and is a popular vacation destination. ... The year-round population was 37,099 at

the 2010 census, although during the peak of summer vacation season the population can swell to

275,000. Over the past decade, the island's population growth rate was 32%. Hilton Head Island is a

primary city within the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Beaufort Metropolitan Statistical Area”. (Wikipedia,

2014)

Wikipedia also states “Daufuskie Island is a residential “Sea Island” between Savannah Georgia and

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It is about 2.75 miles (4.43 km) offshore. The total island surface is

just 8 square miles (21 km2) within the maximum length of 5 miles (8.0 km) and maximum width of 2.5

miles (4.0 km). Daufuskie has a full-time population of around 250. There are two resorts, a private

residential community, and a large undeveloped tract of lands identified as residential property”.

(Wikipedia, 2014)

The data presents a clear, factual case that Hilton Head Island and Daufuskie Island are

dichotomous communities with one part having financial stability, traditional two-parent family

structures, access to enrichment opportunities and higher academic performing students. In

contrast, another segment of the population served by Creative Arts and Daufuskie has

predominantly single parent families or parents that have to hold multiple jobs, significant

language and communication problems, high illiteracy rates and poor academic success. Below

are selected findings from a needs assessment that support these conclusions:

20% of the children live in single-parent homes

5% of the children in single-parent homes have only the mother as the provider and

caretaker

64.50% State reported Poverty Index for 2013 for the student population, up from 51% in

2007

over 250 second-language learners from 16 Spanish-speaking countries

65% non and/or limited English-speaking parents, are unable to provide academic

support including homework help.

This year’s enrollment data indicates that where the majority, 54% (440 of the 811 students), are

from ethnic minorities. Hilton Head’s 42 square miles are home to the third largest population of

Hispanics in the state, up from tenth largest in 2008. The S.C. Department of Education lists the

10

2013 Poverty Index for Creative Arts as 64.5%, up from 58.63% in 2007. Within our school

community, 241 second- language learners from 16 Spanish speaking countries face many

challenges educationally and socially, including the fact that our 65% non and/or limited English

speaking parents are often working several jobs and unable to provide homework support.

Among these parents there is a 75% illiteracy rate in English and Spanish which makes it nearly

impossible for them to provide their children with any academic support. Another compelling

indicator of need is that 21% of these children live in single parent homes, and in 75% of those

homes the mother is the primary provider/care giver. Single-parent families experience

challenges not only in homework support, but in the need for after-school care.

PASS Trends - Analysis

Social Studies - Historically our strongest area when compared to local and state averages

at all grades. Met or exceeded local and state averages for past five years. We missed

exceeding the state average last year at grade 5.

Science 2013 Exceeded local and state averages in Grades 3, 4, 5.

Math 2013 exceeded local and state averages in math at all grades.

ELA 2013 exceeded district averages in all areas at grade 3 with 82.5% meeting or

exceeding expectations and only .4 of a point from exceeding the state average.

Historically, Creative Arts has not met or exceeded the local or state percentages.

Writing was tested for the past five years. HHSCA exceeded district percentage four of

the last five years missing if in 2011. At grades three and four positive growth is seen

from 2009 to 2013. AT grade three SCA is off the state average by .4 of a percentage

point. At grade four Creative Arts has made 12.7% points growth since 2009. On the

2013 grade four PASS writing test students at Creative Arts exceeded the state average

and missed the district average by .7 of a percentage point.

Performance by Group data indicates that achievement gap of 40 or more points exits

between white students and all minorities. It also exits for Limited English Proficient

students when compared to white students and between white students and disabled, and

students with free and reduced lunch status.

MAP Testing Analysis – Fall to Spring On Grade Level Analysis and Fall to Spring Mean

Score Analysis

Implementation of the Everyday Math Curriculum and a laser focus on increasing the mean score

of a class’s performance on MAP seems to have a positive impact on the Math program at

Creative Arts. Analysis is difficult because of the changes made to the MAP assessment in the

past few years with the introduction of the Common Core Standards and format changes to the

MAP assessment.

Data does indicate that Creative Arts students perform better on the MAP Math test than they do

on the Reading assessment.

Documented academic and social deficiencies exist among high-risk students attending the

Creative Arts School, including the achievement gap between minority and white students,

disabled vs non-disabled and LEP vs non LEP students. The significant increase in the Hispanic

population and second-language learners, the high poverty index and percentages of free and

reduced lunch students, the low rate of family literacy, the substantial number of single- parent

homes is related to the high number of students needing assistance because of poor PASS or

MAP test performance.

These factors demonstrate the compelling need for a well thought out and developed School

Plan. With a strong academic educational program that includes intervention, support and

enrichment increases the chances of all Creative Arts and Satellite Daufuskie Island Elementary

children being able to graduate from high school and be college and/or career ready and able to

move forward for a productive life.
