North Davis Elementary School
School Accountability Report Card
Reported Using Data from the 2013-14 School Year
Published During 2014-15
Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC), by February 1 of each year.
The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding
Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes
how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities.
Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.
•
For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
•
View this SARC online at the school and/or LEA Web sites.
•
For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.

For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school principal or the district
office.

School Description and Mission Statement (Most Recent Year)
The mission of North Davis Elementary School is to provide a working and learning environment in which every member of the school
community thrives academically, socially and emotionally. Mutual respect, high expectations and joy for working and learning are the
foundation for all we do. Students, parents, school staff, and community members work together, at school and at home, to achieve
maximum growth and development for each child. We value a school setting in which all members demonstrate awareness and caring
for the well-being of each individual, our school, our community and the world beyond, now and in the future. North Davis Elementary
School is characterized by a strong feeling of community. All school staff, parents, and children enjoy working, learning, and playing
together in an atmosphere of trust, mutual respect, and support.
Our site is located in the heart of Davis near the University of California, the county library, the Veterans’ Memorial Building, Davis
Senior High School, the Davis Art Center, Community Park, and Rainbow City Play Park. These nearby facilities provide enrichment
opportunities for students. Our facilities are attractive and clean and were modernized in 2004–2005. Ramon Cusi has been the
principal of North Davis Elementary for 5 years. He has 19 years of experience as an administrator, teacher and coach. Our school
leadership team includes teacher representatives from each grade level. This group meets monthly to discuss concerns and to plan
meeting agendas.
The teaching staff is talented and dedicated and makes sure classrooms are nurturing and academically challenging. Parents are an
integral part of the school program. We attempt to involve all families in our school and we celebrate the diversity of our school
population. Teachers on our site participate in school decision making on a regular basis. The School Site Council (SSC) and the Parent
Teacher Association (PTA) meet regularly on a monthly basis. Our English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) meets twice a year.
We keep parent leaders informed about the school in person and via the school newsletter. We openly welcome input and ideas from
parents, staff, students, and community members. The school’s annual plan is reviewed and approved by our SSC, a group composed
of five parents and five school staff members.
The PTA organizes activities to unify the school community and support students’ educational experiences. The group raises funds to
enrich the educational program for all students. More than 50 percent of North Davis families are members of PTA. The ELAC advises
the district and school sites on matters pertaining to the instruction of English learners. Parents and are highly visible on our campus
and participate in every facet of our programs.
The district tests all third graders to determine eligibility for the GATE program. A GATE program for fourth through sixth grade
students is available at regional school sites. For GATE students who remain in neighborhood schools, classroom teachers provide
individualized instruction through open-ended assignments, grouping within and across classrooms, and individual assignments. These
strategies provide greater challenge, depth, and complexity.
To become more involved in our school, please contact our principal, Ramon Cusi, at (530) 757-5475.

Davis schools strongly emphasize student and staff safety. The School Site Council (SSC) reviews, updates, and approves our emergency
plan annually. We place crossing guards at nearby crosswalks. We hold regular fire, earthquake, and disaster drills. Students have
access to clean, safe facilities, and staff members check playground equipment for safety on a regular basis. Our maintenance staff
uses a preventive program to offset costly repairs. The school nurse instructs the staff in ways to support children with allergies and
asthma. Committees of parents and staff ensure that we are maintaining a positive school climate. Our school climate committee
meets prior to our SSC meeting which consists mainly of our SSC membership.

Professional Development
Davis Joint Unified School District focuses our professional growth system on our mission and objectives with priority given to social
emotional intelligence, differentiated instruction, inquiry based learning, implementation of the Common Core State Standards and
the formative assessment process. These focus areas were developed through the Strategic Plan process along with teacher surveys
to ensure relevancy and meaningfulness.
Davis Joint Unified School District uses a variety of professional learning models to engage staff in their continued growth. Built on the
foundation of internal expertise and consultants from outside DJUSD, staff has opportunities during the school year and summer to
complete professional development activities. These activities are supported by federal, state, and local funding and generous local
parcel taxes. The professional development within Davis Joint Unified School District has a heavy emphasis on collaboration where
time is reserved weekly for staff collaboration by sites in grade level or departmental teams under the direction of site administrators,
staff also has the opportunity to collaborate with grade level/content peers through the Common Core Collaboration Grants, and
collaboration opportunities are built in to all of the professional development sessions. Examples of recent DJUSD professional learning
activities include:
