Principal's Message

 

Dear Eagle Families,

El Camino is dedicated to preparing students to be confident and successful community members. With this in mind, we have committed to helping our students graduate College & Career Ready. There are six ways at El Camino that students can demonstrate College & Career Readiness:

  • Scores of 3 or higher on both the Smarter Balanced ELA and math assessments

  • Scores of 3 or higher on 2 Advanced Placement Exams

  • Two terms of college coursework with a grade of C- or better in an academic/CTE education subject where college credits are awarded

  • State Seal of Biliteracy and a score of 3 or higher on the Smarter Balanced ELA assessment

  • Completion of a CTE pathway with a C- or better in the capstone course plus one of the following:

    • A score of 3 or higher on either the Smarter Balanced ELA or math assessment and a score of 2 in the other area

    • Two terms of college coursework with a grade of C- or better in an academic/CTE education subject where college credits are awarded

  • Completion of UC/CSU A-G requirements with a grade of C- or better plus one of the following:

    •  A score of 3 or higher on either the Smarter Balanced ELA or math assessment and a score of 2 in the other area

    • Two terms of college coursework with a grade of C- or better in an academic/CTE education subject where college credits are awarded

    • A score of 3 on one Advanced Placement exam

    • Completion of a CTE pathway

This year, teachers and staff will utilize Smarter Balanced assessments and the California Common Core State Standards to align instruction, create common assessments, and analyze data to improve student learning outcomes. This work aligns with the San Juan Unified School District's new Strategic Plan.  

We appreciate your partnership with us in your student's education, and we encourage you to check academic progress regularly via the Q Parent Portal, support positive attendance, encourage appropriate behavior at school, and actively participate in parent/family organizations such as Boosters, PTSA, Site Council, and ELAC.  

I look forward to continuing our work to help students reach their goals. 2024 - 2025 is going to be a fantastic year!

Take care and Go Eagles!
