Bordered by a large neighborhood park, Evergreen Elementary School is one of six elementary schools in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District. Our current K-5 enrollment is xxx students. Our declining school population is growing in its cultural diversity providing enrichment through involvement with families from many cultures.
“Evergreen is the best school; Evergreen teachers are really cool; Evergreen has the number one principal; Evergreen kids are invincible.” This is the first verse of our school song written by our fourth grade students. It represents the pride our students have for their school as the song carries words of appreciation and respect for all of the people who make Evergreen School a great place to learn.
Students are encouraged to do their best. Life skills are promoted, taught, and reinforced. The school climate is secure, calm, and caring. Expectations are clear and attainable. Rewards and recognitions are plentiful. Evergreen’s students feel safe, happy, and ready to learn. With the assistance of our many intervention programs, all children are supported academically, physically, socially, and emotionally. Evergreen Elementary School is proud of our traditions, our reputation, our skills, our programs, and our partnerships with parents, community, and businesses.
Evergreen is known for its strong community support. As a school and a family we continually strive to improve our relationships, recognizing that the effort of the whole team is needed to help every child be successful. Parents are viewed as partners and encouraged to take active roles in our school program. Every school day parents are on campus making bulletin boards, hanging posters, tutoring children, organizing fundraisers, participating in committees, and meeting formally and informally with the principal. Our close proximity to Sonoma State University offers an opportunity to benefit from student teacher placements, a university supported after school homework program, and a planned noontime activity program.
To ensure that Evergreen students develop and maintain their enthusiasm for learning and curiosity for life, we nurture opportunities for students to actively incorporate what they are studying into their own experiences, concepts, and understandings of how the world works.
School effectiveness is monitored using a variety of informational sources. Evergreen staff focuses on continuous improvement in student achievement, using multiple indicators to monitor progress toward meeting specific targeted objectives addressing student needs at all grade levels and in all subjects. The cornerstone of our accountability plan asks the question, “How are students performing on the multiple measures and how do we meet the challenge of improving student performance on those specific measures?”
Indicative of our highly professional district, teacher representatives from all schools have attended workshops and trainings on assessment and accountability. The Evergreen staff and principal have participated in numerous professional trainings to identify standards and implement best teaching practices that support the curriculum using data to guide instruction. Teachers use standards-aligned assessments to match curriculum being used in instruction. The direct correlation between standards and state approved curriculum materials have contributed to the increase in our API scores. Since the beginning of the state accountability reporting, Evergreen School has worked to raise student achievement. Our efforts are demonstrated in our API scores indicating amazing growth.
At Evergreen, we strive to ensure the continuous growth of academic achievement for all students, to ensure a safe, secure, and disciplined teaching and learning environment, and to ensure that parents, businesses, and community members are actively engaged in the educational process.
Evergreen school is where children and learning come first. We are quite proud of our beautiful campus where high expectations for learning are maintained. We are working together to build a strong community of learners with a shared vision of empowering our students with the skills and abilities necessary for 21st century living. Students are given many support systems to assist them in achieving the rigorous state and district standards.
