CSC Minutes

Dear Sandoval Parent Constituents:

We are thinking strategically about how we engage parents, share your perspectives, and ensure your voices are heard. Thus, we have implemented the following:

  • This CSC Open Forum Survey to add agenda item(s) to be considered and provide feedback. You will find this link in the principal’s message. 
  • We will also now be introducing the “Parent Constituent Section” into the Principal’s message following our CSC meetings to share a summary of what we are discussing along with the CSC Minute Notes.

At the most recent CSC meeting, we discussed the following:

  • Our school’s Unified Improvement Plan:
    • 25-26 UIP #1: Major Improvement StrategyStandards-Based Instruction within the Montessori/Dual Language/Public sector provides all students the best opportunity to learn standards-based, grade level content and learning skills the first time they receive instruction.  Through the intentionality of adding a fourth period to the three period lesson this will allow for an additional measure in which to drive students’ cognitive lift. This combines CRE teaching practices, practice-based teacher learning and the implementation of high quality academic standards and curriculum. Effective standards-based instruction builds relationships, meets the needs of all students, creates relevancy and fosters an intersection of content knowledge, experiences and skills needed to demonstrate understanding through the ability to read, write, communicate and think critically relative to a specific discipline.
    • 24-25-UIP #2 Major Improvement StrategyData-Driven instruction within the Montessori/Dual Language/Public Sector provides instruction that is focused on the needs of our students through evidence-based practices both at the classroom and schoolwide levels with a priority focus on our Multilingual Learner (MLL) and students with disabilities populations.
  • Our latest SPF rating (School Performance Framework-Colorado Department of Education school report card): Green. We will continue to discuss potential impacts of this rating to our school enrollment, as many parents consider this when they are looking for a school for their child and family. 
  • Lastly, we discussed current enrollment and the impact of projections and actuals to the school budget. Annual budgets are based on projected enrollment numbers shared with the school in January of the current school year. This year’s budget was based on projected enrollment of 323 students for Kinder through sixth grade. Unfortunately, this year we did not meet our goal with a total K-6 enrollment of 314. So, please spread the good word about Sandoval and help us support a robust enrollment. 

In community and education,

Parent CSC Representatives
