Public School Choice Letter

 

Dear Hilton Elementary School parent/guardian:

 

Your child is eligible to move to a school in our district that has met adequate yearly progress (AYP).  Although the Zillah School District only has one elementary school we are still required to notify you of your choice options. The reason that he/she is eligible is because he/she is attending a Title I school that has not made AYP for two consecutive years and in Step 1 of School Improvement. This option is called Public School Choice.

 

As part of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, Title I schools in Step 1 must provide parents the opportunity to move their child/children into a school that has made AYP. AYP is determined by the WASL scores of the school’s students and the (graduation rate/unexcused absence rate). Transportation is free.

 

Hilton Elementary School has not met Federal improvement standards in math and reading.  Zillah Elementary School will remain in improvement until the students meet improvement standards for two years.

 

Hilton Elementary School and Zillah School District staff is committed to the success of our school and to provide a quality education for each of our students. We are taking these steps to improve:

                        Curriculum alignment with state standards

                        Using student data to improve instruction

                        Attending professional development sessions

                        Meeting as professional learning communities

                        Mentoring and tutoring individual students

 

Because the school has moved into Step 1 of School Improvement, you have the option of requesting Public School Choice. To sign your child up for Public School Choice please contact the Zillah School District Administration Office at 213 4^th Ave, Zillah WA 98953 or call 829-5911.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin McKay, Superintendent
