William G. Jehue Middle School
Principal’s Message
Jehue Middle School is unique in many ways, including being the only Rialto
Unified school to serve families from three distinct communities; Rialto, San
Bernardino, and Colton. Currently in our twelfth year of operation, we serve
approximately 1,420 students in grades six through eight. Our physical plant consists
of 45 permanent classrooms, ten portable classrooms, a parent center, a cafeteria/
multipurpose room, a spectacular library, three computer labs, an air-conditioned
gymnasium, large athletic field, and administrative offices. We use these superb facilities
to provide our students with the very best educational experience in Southern California.
Jehue offers specialized educational programs in Gifted and Talented Education (GATE),
English Language Development (ELD), Special Education, and Advancement via Individual
Determination (AVID). We value and encourage parent/community involvement through our
School Site Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), Band Boosters, and
Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA). All our educators pride themselves on providing their
students rigorous, standards-based instruction in all academic areas, while offering every student
access to divergent educational experiences in the arts and music, career-technical education, and
athletics. Doing all of these things allows us to live up to our motto: Giving our best, never settling
for less.

Discipline & Climate for Learning
Class Size
The goal of Jehue Middle School’s progressive discipline program is to
provide students with opportunities to learn self-discipline through a
system of consistent rewards and consequences for their behavior. The
school-wide discipline plan, which reflects the district’s behavior code,
is implemented in a consistent and positive manner. Well-managed
classrooms, and clearly defined expectations and consequences have
resulted in an environment where learning flourishes.
The chart shows the average class size by subject area, as well as the
number of classes offered in reference to their enrollment.

Attendance, tardy, and truancy policies are clearly stated, consistently
enforced, and consequences are fairly administered. Parents/Guardians
are advised of their responsibilities, including proper notification of when
and why students are absent. The school staff makes daily phone calls
to parents/guardians when children are absent. When a student has
repeated tardies or unexcused absences a letter is mailed home, and a
parent/guardian conference may be scheduled.
Student Recognition
Positive recognition creates a learning environment that fosters respect for
the individual and promotes self-esteem. In addition to classroom prizes
and verbal praise, the following awards and recognition programs are
ongoing at Jehue Middle School:
In the event of habitual truancy, students may be referred to the District’s
School Attendance Review Board (SARB). The SARB is utilized when
students have persistent attendance and behavior problems in school,
and when the normal avenues

School districts receive financial support from the state for the education
of the students they serve based on how many students attend each day.
Most importantly, attendance is critical to academic achievement. Student
attendance is carefully monitored to identify those students exhibiting
excessive absences.

Counseling & Support Staff
Teacher Evaluation & Professional Development
In addition to academics, the staff strives to assist students in their social
and personal development. Staff members are trained to recognize at-risk
behavior in all students. The school values the importance of on-site
counseling and has procedures in place to insure that students receive the
services they need. Staff members are devoted to helping students deal
with problems and assisting them to reach positive goals. The counselorto-pupil ratio is 1:473. The chart displays a list of support services that are
offered to students.
A constructive evaluation process promotes quality instruction and is a
fundamental element in a sound educational program. Evaluations and
formal observations are designed to encourage common goals and to
comply with the state’s evaluation criteria and district policies. Temporary
and probationary teachers are evaluated twice a year and tenured teachers
are evaluated every other year.
Evaluations are conducted by the principal, who has been trained and
certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluations
are based on the “California Standards for the Teaching Profession,”
which include the following: Engaging and Supporting all Students in
Learning; Understanding and Organizing Subject Matter for Student
Learning; Assessing Student Learning; Creating and Maintaining Effective
Environments for Student Learning; Planning Instruction and Designing
Learning Experiences for all Students; and Developing as a Professional
Educator.

Due to the state fiscal crisis, additional funding from the State of California
that would provide an opportunity to offer district-wide professional
development through “Buy Back Days” has not been available for the
past three years. Rialto Unified School District (RUSD) has worked
within the state fiscal crisis to provide an alternative plan of action for
staff development, and has established a comprehensive District-wide
Professional Development Center (PDC). The PDC provides ongoing
staff development in a variety of formats throughout the school year (i.e.
after school, on-site, weekends, and during instructional breaks). In
addition to the PDC, teachers have access to online materials as another
alternative professional development format. Finally, with district and union
collaboration, early release/collaboration days have been established
at secondary schools to support RUSD’s commitment to on-going
professional development.
For additional support in their profession, teachers may enlist the services
of the District’s Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA)
support provider and/or the Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) Program.
At-Risk Interventions
Teacher Assignment
Students who score “Below Basic” in English/language arts on standardized
tests are served through the Language! Intervention Program throughout
the school day. Math/English tutoring is also provided on an “as-needed”
basis.
Rialto Unified School District recruits and employs only the most qualified
credentialed teachers. During the 2010-11 school year, Jehue Middle
School staffed 59 fully certificated teachers who met all credential
requirements in accordance with the state guidelines.
English Learners (EL)
Teacher Credential Status
English Learner (EL) students designated as “Beginning,” “EarlyIntermediate,” and “Intermediate” are assigned to appropriately credentialed
teachers and offered a Structured English Immersion Program. English
Language Development (ELD) instructors, instructional aides, and English
language support teachers provide additional assistance within these
classrooms. “Early-Advanced” and “Advanced” EL students are placed
within mainstream classrooms.

Teacher misassignments reflect the number of placements within a school
for which the certificated employee in the teaching or services position
(including positions that involve teaching English Learners) does not hold
a legally recognized certificate or credential.
The Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Program is offered to students
in grades six through eight who have been identified through testing
and teacher recommendation. Jehue’s GATE students are offered an
accelerated academic program that provides in-depth and rigorous coursework. Students are tested for the GATE Program at the beginning and the
middle of the year, however teachers can recommend a student to the
program at any time during the school year.
Teacher vacancies reflect the number of positions to which a single
designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning
of the year for an entire year. For the 2011-12 school year, the most current
available data are reported.
Special Education
Misassignments/Vacancies
Students with special education needs are accommodated with a variety
of options and in the least restrictive environment possible. An Individual
Education Plan (IEP) is developed for any student with emotional, social,
and/or developmental disabilities. The IEP defines the individualized
instruction a special needs student will receive, which may include
placement in a Special Day Class, the Resource Specialist Program, and/
or sessions with other members of the support staff.

Student Achievement & Testing
Rialto Unified School District has developed a comprehensive assessment and
accountability plan to ensure that information regarding student performance is used
to continuously improve the instructional program and to communicate with parents/
guardians about their child’s achievement. In addition to the Standardized Testing
and Reporting (STAR) Program, teachers utilize district Benchmark Assessments,
classroom observations, class work, homework, report cards, and Renaissance
Learning Solutions reports to determine whether each student is performing below,
at, or above grade level standards.
English Learner (EL) students take the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) every year until they have been re-classified as “English
proficient.” Some learning-disabled students take the California Alternative Performance Assessment (CAPA) in lieu of the California Standards Test
(CST).
California Standards Test (CST)
The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance
in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets
standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards).
The first table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards) in English/
language arts, mathematics, social science, and science, for the most recent three-year period.
The second table displays the percent of students, by
group, achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level
(meeting or exceeding the state standards) for the
most recent testing period.

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It
mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have
limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for mathematics and English/language arts (ELA) by 2014.
Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts
meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements:
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
• Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in
ELA and mathematics.
• Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in
ELA and mathematics.
• API as an additional indicator.
• Graduation rate (for secondary schools).
There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the
AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff.
Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their
district) that have met their AYP, and the former school would be
required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of
school and district performance are displayed in the table.

Academic Performance Index (API)
The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually
measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. The state
has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to achieve.
Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories from 1 (lowest)
to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school).
Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other
schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score
from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar
schools.
The first table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools’ API ranks and API point changes
by student group. “C” means the school had significant demographic changes and will not have
any growth or target information.
The second table displays, by student group, the 2011 Growth API at the school, district, and state
level.

Physical Fitness
In the spring of each year, the school is required by the state to administer a
physical fitness test to all seventh grade students. The physical fitness test
measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas:
Aerobic Capacity, Body Composition, Abdominal Strength, Trunk Extension
Strength, Upper Body Strength, and Flexibility. Students who either meet or
exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or
in the “healthy fitness zone” (HFZ).

Textbooks & Instructional Materials
Pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California, Rialto
Unified School District held a public hearing to determine whether or
not each school had sufficient and good quality textbooks, instructional
materials, and/or science laboratory equipment. The date of the most
recent resolution of the sufficiency of textbooks is August 24, 2011.
District-Adopted Textbooks
All students, including English Learners, are required to be given their
own individual textbooks and/or instructional materials (in core subjects),
for use in the classroom and to take home if necessary. Additionally, all
textbooks and instructional materials used within the district must be
aligned with the California State Content Standards and frameworks, with
final approval by the Board of Education. The table displays information
collected in September 2011 about the quality, currency, and availability
of the standards-aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used

Library Information & Computer Resources
The school’s library, staffed by a full-time library media technician, is stocked with thousands of educational and recreational books, video- and audiotapes, periodicals, and reference materials. Students visit the library on a regular basis with their classes and are encouraged to visit before school and
during breaks. Five computer workstations within the library are connected to the Internet so students are able to access resources and information
online.
Computer skills and concepts integrated throughout standard curriculum prepare students for technological growth and opportunities. Each classroom
contains an average of six Internet-connected computers. Students also have weekly access to three computer labs, which house a combined total of
102 workstations. Students receive computer-assisted instruction on Accelerated Math, as well as software that helps to develop critical thinking skills,
mathematical proficiency, and word processing abilities.
Science Laboratory Equipment
Jehue Middle School stocks an adequate supply of Science Laboratory Equipment for its students. Inventory includes, but is not limited to, microscopes,
slides, ring stands, clamps, support rings, utility clamps, test tubes, test tube holders, test tube brushes, crucible tongs, flasks, beakers, and Bunsen
burners. Specific equipment exists for the Earth Science, Life Science, and Physical Science courses. Software for labs and lab demonstrations has
also been provided for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade courses. Every science teacher has also been provided a laptop and projector to utilize in the science
classroom from grant monies. For a complete listing of inventory, please contact the school office at (909) 421-7377.
Curriculum Improvement
Jehue Middle School’s curriculum is written in compliance with the state framework and model curriculum standards dictated by the California Department
of Education. The District’s Curriculum Committee is the primary leadership team responsible for monitoring and evaluating the curriculum. Decisions
concerning curriculum improvement are then made through a collaborative effort among school representatives, ensuring that all changes are schoolwide, not isolated to a single class or grade.

School Facilities
Jehue Middle School, originally constructed in 1998, is currently
comprised of 45 permanent classrooms, ten portable classrooms,
a parent center, a cafeteria/multipurpose room, a library, three
computer labs, a staff room, a gymnasium, an athletic field, and
administrative offices. The chart displays the results of the most
recent school facilities inspection as of November 2011. Any
deficiencies listed in the chart are added to the work order process
when time and funding is available.
School Safety
The safety of students and staff is a primary concern of William G.
Jehue Middle School. All visitors to the campus must sign in at the
office and wear a visitor’s pass at all times. Supervision is provided
to ensure the safety of each student before school, during breaks, at
lunch, and after school. Supervision is a responsibility shared among
parent/guardian volunteers, teachers, and administrators.
To further safeguard the well-being of students and staff, a
comprehensive School Site Safety Plan has been developed by the
School Site Council. The Safety Plan was most recently updated in
March 2011; any revisions and updates are reviewed immediately
with the staff. Key elements of the Safety Plan focus on the
following:
• School rules & procedures
• Disaster procedures/routine & emergency drills
• Current status of school crime
• Notification to teachers
• Child abuse reporting procedures
• School-wide dress code
• Policies related to suspension/expulsion
• Sexual harassment policy
• Safe ingress & egress of pupils, parents/guardians, & school
employees
The school is always in compliance with the laws, rules, and
regulations pertaining to hazardous materials and State earthquake
standards. Safety drills, including fire, earthquake, and code yellow,
are held monthly.
Cleaning Process
The school provides a safe and clean environment for students,
staff, and volunteers. The district’s Board of Education has adopted
cleaning standards for all schools in the district.

Basic cleaning operations are performed on a daily basis throughout the school year with emphasis on classrooms and restrooms. A joint effort between
students and staff helps keep the campus clean and litter-free. The principal works daily with the school’s custodial staff to develop sanitation schedules
that ensure a clean, safe, and functional learning environment.
Maintenance & Repair
A scheduled maintenance program is administered by the school’s custodial staff on a regular basis, with heavy maintenance functions occurring during
vacation periods. Additionally, a scheduled maintenance program is administered by Rialto Unified School District to ensure that school grounds and
facilities remain in excellent repair. A work order process is used when issues arise that require immediate attention. Emergency repairs are given the
highest priority; repair requests are completed efficiently and in the order in which they are received.
Deferred Maintenance Budget
The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, designed to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or
replacement of existing school building components. Typically this includes roofing, plumbing, heating electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and
floor systems. In 2011-2012, the district did not allocate additional funds towards the deferred maintenance budget as allowed per statue revisions made
by the state legislature at the beginning of the 2009-2010 fiscal year. During the 2011-2012 school year, the district’s governing board approved deferred
maintenance projects for the school, including asphalt/concrete repairs and replacement and phone/intercom equipment upgrade.
