Indicator+6.2

Has formal channels to listen to and communicate with stakeholders.

Mrs. Hand's input from Parent Questionnaire: "The weekly newsletter, Dragon Tales, provides us with the most recent events and details for upcoming activities. The School Advisory Council meets regularly and parents are encouraged to participate as members, officers and welcome to attend. Parents are also invited to participate in the SAC, the School Improvement Leadership Team, Booster Club, and always invited to contact the teachers, counselor, and/or administration with any concerns accordingly. (Effective)" Mr. and Mrs. Maltais' input from Parent Questionnaire: "The formal channels that the school has to communicate with stakeholders are the Parent Teacher Association and the Booster Club. These channels are basically effective however due to the low participation level of parents in these organizations the minority voice is the only one heard and more often than not the ideas that are generated are not representative of the majority of parents." Mrs. Stein's comments: "Dragon Tales, a weekly school newspaper delivered by email, keeps parents aware of events and activities at school. Parents also have access to the school website, as well as a list of all the teacher’s email addresses. The school can also use AFN to release emergency messages to parents. I feel that these methods of communication are effective." Mrs. Repetski's comments:


 * 1) Please list formal channels the school has to listen to and communicate with stakeholders. Are these effective? If not, how could they be improved?

The school does a good job of keeping parents informed with the weekly Dragon Tales. Teachers are usually good about contacting parents directly if they need to speak about a student’s progress.

There is also the SAC & SAB for community members to attend if they wish. Members of these boards are listed in Dragon Tales so that if someone does have a concern, they know who to contact.

I feel these are effective.

Mrs. Loren Malcolm's comments: 1. I know that they have a mentoring program and a tutoring program where they invite community members to work w/ students in need. I think their effectiveness varies & depends on the individuales involved. _If community stakeholder is a parent(?) I know there is communication via email, student planners & telephone. There are also parent/teacher conferences. All of these are effective. 2. email, student palnners, telephone, conferences _ I believe these are effective. 3. email, dragon tales, word of mouth, base commander or SLO to announce @ staff meetings. These are effective. 4. parents, class orientation & syllabus, email, conferences if neccessary. These are effective. 5. Dragon Tales & email. These are effective.

 * Indicator:** 6.2 Has formal channels to listen to and communicate with stakeholders
 * Question:** What process is in place to communicate information and gather feedback, from all stakeholders about students, their performance, and school effectiveness?

Our supporting evidence indicates that Alconbury Middle/Huigh School is functioning at an operational level with regard to parent, student and community stakeholders for sharing information, gathering feedback from all stakeholders about students, their performance, and school effectiveness. One major example of this was the ballot for the school's Vision Statement that was sent to parents via the Dragon Tales Newsletter, and the ballot that was distributed to students in seminar classes last year. //"Quality Not Quantity"// was the motto voted upon.
 * __Observations__**

Communication is ongoing among the administration, faculty, parents, students and the community. Utilizing our Homepage, the school's common drive, Parent Newsletters (Dragon Tales), Parent Questionnaire, teacher syllabi, email correspondence, tutors, volunteers and mentors, to name a few vehicles of communication, I believe that Alconbury M/H School has a strong partnership with all of these stakeholders.

Operational the selection of the rubric level is based on the artifacts and evidence produced.

Received from Mr. henry Gonzalez, Parent of AVID Student CSI Standard 6 Parent Questionnaire Please answer the following to the best of your ability. The Alconbury School encourages parents to visit their child’s classrooms and sit in class sessions. This allows parents the opportunity to see firsthand what is being taught within the classrooms. The school also allows base personal volunteer opportunities like tutoring. I feel that these are effective tools. The Alconbury School has several avenues available for parents to voice their concerns to base and school leadership. The school also provides parents with every teacher’s email address, so parents can contact their child’s teacher. Several teachers also encourage parents to stop by during school and sit in on a class or two. I feel that these are effective tools. The school plans several events throughout the school year that invites base populace to participate in organizing, working or judging such events. Again, school allows for parents to sit in on classes to see what is being taught. I feel that these are effective tools. The school emails out weekly newsletters with information concerning the latest happenings. Important information concerning the school is also sent via email to parents work and personnel emails. I feel that these are effective tools. Grade speed is an excellent tool provided by the school. It allows parents to see up to the minute grades and progress reports. I feel that these are effective tools. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND INPUT! - from the CSI Standard 6 Committee
