Letter to Parents - AYP

Dear East Valley High School parent/guardian:

As part of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, school districts are required to notify parents/guardians when schools that their children attend have not made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). AYP is determined by: 1) the percentage of students participating in the WASL; 2) the percentage of students meeting the standards in reading and math; and 3) unexcused absence rate for Grades K-8 or graduation rate for secondary students.

East Valley High School was identified as not making AYP. Assessment information is available at www.evsd.org.

Parent Involvement
As a parent/guardian your input is valued and encouraged. There are many ways that you can be involved in helping us to address the issues around school improvement. Some of those include participating in our parent group, conferences, and family activities.

In closing, all of us here at East Valley High School are committed to the success of our school and to serving all of our students. We are taking intentional and innovative steps to address each student’s academic performance. For example, we have created small classes for math instruction. We are not alone in our efforts; our district is working very hard to assist us. One of the ways that we are being supported by the central office is through professional development for teachers.

We are excited and optimistic about the future and we hope that you will join us in this important effort.

Sincerely,

Jeff Miller, Principal
