The Western Association of Schools and Colleges has reaffirmed the six-year accreditation of Koblerville Elementary School after a thorough on-site review conducted by WASC committee members last April 13, 2000.<\/p>\n
WASC officials Harvey Buenconsejo and Joanne Nakashima, retired school administrators from the state of Hawaii, validated KES’s midterm progress report listing several areas of strengths.<\/p>\n
First, it commended the Parent Teacher Association for its “close working relationship” with the administration and staff.<\/p>\n
The report praised the shared decision making and consensus building efforts.<\/p>\n
One of the committee members also expressed admiration for the notable “community spirit” among students, teachers, and staff in the school.<\/p>\n
Another area of strength was KES’s keen follow-up in its mid-term self study.<\/p>\n
The WASC team also commended the school for its involvement in the community by developing the expected schoolwide learning results.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, KES was also successful in planning fun activities for its staff, according to committee members.<\/p>\n
The accreditation committee also enumerated four areas for the school to focus on during the next three years.<\/p>\n
WASC listed the alignment of the expected schoolwide learning results with curriculum and instruction and the PSS standards and benchmarks; the development of a variety of performance assessments, the alignment of technology to curriculum and instruction; and better communication of the financial management system to teachers as some of the areas which need further work.
