MISSION STATEMENT Palisade Glacier High School (PGHS) is dedicated to providing an opportunity for all students, including credit deficient students and those who desire an accelerated graduation track, to learn in a safe, rigorous, yet caring learning environment that incorporates and values differentiated/individualized instruction to address the learning styles and needs of every student.

SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY Palisade Glacier High School provides an alternative program by which high school students may earn their diplomas. The program primarily addresses the students’ academic needs, but it also provides a setting where individual needs can be more readily addressed. By developing an interactive relationship between staff and each young adult, we help each student establish attainable goals and a positive purpose in life. Accountability for success lies with the individual student. The staff encourages responsibility through positive reinforcement of academic achievement, positive social interaction and personal growth and accomplishment. We feel that a responsible student will acquire the attitudes and abilities necessary to become a positive and productive member of the community and the larger society.
SCHOOL PROFILE Palisade Glacier High School is located west of the Eastern Sierra town of Big Pine and serves students in grades nine through twelve following a traditional calendar. The majority of our students are 11th and 12th graders with a spectrum of credit deficiencies. In addition, we also have students who are on track to graduate on time or sometimes even up to a year early. Focus on individual progress and achievement and excellence in learning is a hallmark of our school. We do not accept work for credit below C quality. In addition to core academic classes, we offer vocational and fine arts courses such as Digital Media, Culinary/Greenhouse, guitar and Paiute language.

About the SARC
A. Conditions of Learning
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.
State Priority: Basic The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Basic State Priority (Priority 1): • Degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned and fully credentialed in the subject area and for the pupils they are teaching; • Pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials; and • School facilities are maintained in good repair.
•
• • •
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/.

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2014-15) All textbooks used in the core curriculum at Bishop Union High School are aligned to the California Content Standards and Frameworks. Standards-based instructional materials are approved by the district's Board of Trustees. The district follows the State Board of Education's six-year adoption cycle for core content materials and the eight-year cycle for textbook adoptions in foreign language, visual and performing arts, and health. On Thursday, September 18, 2014 the Bishop Unified School District's Board of Trustees held a public hearing to certify the extent to which textbooks and instructional materials have been provided to students. The Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 9/18/14 which certifies as required by Education Code §60119 (1) that textbooks and instructional materials were provided to all students, including English learners, in the district to the extent that each pupil has a textbook or instructional materials, or both, to use in class and to take home, (2) sufficient textbooks and instructional materials were provided to each student, including English learners, that are aligned to the academic content standards and consistent with the cycles and content of the curriculum frameworks in math, science, history-social science, and English/language arts, (3) sufficient textbooks or instructional materials were provided to each pupil enrolled in foreign language or health classes, and (4) In addition to core subject areas, districts are required to disclose in their SARCs the sufficiency of instructional materials used for their visual/performing arts curricula. During the 2013-2014 school year, Bishop Unified School District did not offer visual/performing arts classes and therefore did not require the distribution of respective textbooks and instructional materials.

School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (Most Recent Year) The district takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional through proper facilities maintenance and campus supervision. Palisade Glacier High School's original facilities were built in 1992 and ongoing maintenance and campus improvements ensure facilities remain up to date and provide adequate space for students and staff. District maintenance and site custodial staff ensure that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good condition are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used by school and district staff to communicate non-routine maintenance requests. Every morning before school begins, the custodian inspects the facilities for safety hazards or other conditions that need attention prior to students and staff entering school grounds. One day custodian and no evening custodians are assigned to Palisade Glacier High School. The day custodian is responsible for: • Classroom cleaning • Office area cleaning • Restroom cleaning Restrooms are checked frequently throughout the day for cleanliness and subsequently cleaned as needed. The principal communicates with the custodial staff daily concerning maintenance and school safety issues. Campus Description Year Built 1992 Acreage 2 Square Footage Quantity Permanent Classrooms 0 Portable Classrooms 4 Restrooms (sets) 1 Library 1 Administrative Building 1 Computer Labs 1 Shop Area 1 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE PROJECTS During the 2013-2014 school year the District spent $407,000 to renovate the front elevation and remodel restrooms at Home Street Middle School, as well as modernize the Health Office at Bishop Union High School. A renovation of the library at Bishop Union High School is planned for the 2014-2015 school year at an estimated cost of $800,000. Facilities Inspection The district's maintenance department inspects Palisade Glacier High School on an annual basis in accordance with Education Code §17592.72(c)(1). Palisade Glacier High School uses a school site inspection survey to identify unsafe or hazardous conditions and facility improvement needs. The most recent school inspection took place in December 2014. Deficiencies noted in the school inspection survey were corrected immediately by the district's maintenance department. During fiscal year 2013-14, all restrooms were fully functional and available for student use.

In addition, PGHS is committed to providing stellar support services and strategies to address and negate at-risk behaviors and support our goal of sending our students equipped to compete and succeed in the global society of the 21st Century.

SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY Palisade Glacier High School provides an alternative program by which high school students may earn their diplomas. The program primarily addresses the students’ academic needs, but it also provides a setting where individual needs can be more readily addressed. By developing an interactive relationship between staff and each young adult, we help each student establish attainable goals and a positive purpose in life. Accountability for success lies with the individual student. The staff encourages responsibility through positive reinforcement of academic achievement, positive social interaction and personal growth and accomplishment. We feel that a responsible student will acquire the attitudes and abilities necessary to become a positive and productive member of the community and the larger society.
SCHOOL PROFILE Palisade Glacier High School is located west of the Eastern Sierra town of Big Pine and serves students in grades nine through twelve following a traditional calendar. The majority of our students are 11th and 12th graders with a spectrum of credit deficiencies. In addition, we also have students who are on track to graduate on time or sometimes even up to a year early. Focus on individual progress and achievement and excellence in learning is a hallmark of our school. We do not accept work for credit below C quality. In addition to core academic classes, we offer vocational and fine arts courses such as Digital Media, Culinary/Greenhouse, guitar and Paiute language.

About the SARC
A. Conditions of Learning
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.
State Priority: Basic The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Basic State Priority (Priority 1): • Degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned and fully credentialed in the subject area and for the pupils they are teaching; • Pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials; and • School facilities are maintained in good repair.
•
• • •
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 at (760) 938-2001. 2013-14 Student Enrollment by Grade Level Grade Level

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2014-15) All textbooks used in the core curriculum at Bishop Union High School are aligned to the California Content Standards and Frameworks. Standards-based instructional materials are approved by the district's Board of Trustees. The district follows the State Board of Education's six-year adoption cycle for core content materials and the eight-year cycle for textbook adoptions in foreign language, visual and performing arts, and health. On Thursday, September 18, 2014 the Bishop Unified School District's Board of Trustees held a public hearing to certify the extent to which textbooks and instructional materials have been provided to students. The Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 9/18/14 which certifies as required by Education Code §60119 (1) that textbooks and instructional materials were provided to all students, including English learners, in the district to the extent that each pupil has a textbook or instructional materials, or both, to use in class and to take home, (2) sufficient textbooks and instructional materials were provided to each student, including English learners, that are aligned to the academic content standards and consistent with the cycles and content of the curriculum frameworks in math, science, history-social science, and English/language arts, (3) sufficient textbooks or instructional materials were provided to each pupil enrolled in foreign language or health classes, and (4) In addition to core subject areas, districts are required to disclose in their SARCs the sufficiency of instructional materials used for their visual/performing arts curricula. During the 2013-2014 school year, Bishop Unified School District did not offer visual/performing arts classes and therefore did not require the distribution of respective textbooks and instructional materials.

School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (Most Recent Year) The district takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional through proper facilities maintenance and campus supervision. Palisade Glacier High School's original facilities were built in 1992 and ongoing maintenance and campus improvements ensure facilities remain up to date and provide adequate space for students and staff. District maintenance and site custodial staff ensure that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good condition are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used by school and district staff to communicate non-routine maintenance requests. Every morning before school begins, the custodian inspects the facilities for safety hazards or other conditions that need attention prior to students and staff entering school grounds. One day custodian and no evening custodians are assigned to Palisade Glacier High School. The day custodian is responsible for: • Classroom cleaning • Office area cleaning • Restroom cleaning Restrooms are checked frequently throughout the day for cleanliness and subsequently cleaned as needed. The principal communicates with the custodial staff daily concerning maintenance and school safety issues. Campus Description Year Built 1992 Acreage 2 Square Footage Quantity Permanent Classrooms 0 Portable Classrooms 4 Restrooms (sets) 1 Library 1 Administrative Building 1 Computer Labs 1 Shop Area 1 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE PROJECTS During the 2013-2014 school year the District spent $407,000 to renovate the front elevation and remodel restrooms at Home Street Middle School, as well as modernize the Health Office at Bishop Union High School. A renovation of the library at Bishop Union High School is planned for the 2014-2015 school year at an estimated cost of $800,000. Facilities Inspection The district's maintenance department inspects Palisade Glacier High School on an annual basis in accordance with Education Code §17592.72(c)(1). Palisade Glacier High School uses a school site inspection survey to identify unsafe or hazardous conditions and facility improvement needs. The most recent school inspection took place in December 2014. Deficiencies noted in the school inspection survey were corrected immediately by the district's maintenance department. During fiscal year 2013-14, all restrooms were fully functional and available for student use.
