California Distinguished School Award, 2004

The Merlinda Elementary school community has been hard at work to achieve its goal of raising student achievement.

We continue to increase our emphasis on literacy through the on-going implementation of strong results-based Success for All (SFA) reading program. We continue serving ALL students by offering intensive tutoring for first through fourth graders who are not meeting grade level standards in reading through providing after school classes. Our well-received Family Support Team which helps parents and teachers work together for the success of our children has also been a major help for all of us. We are proud to say that through these efforts we have 85 percent of our students reading at or above grade level!

We believe that it takes the entire community to achieve success, and that includes parents. We welcome you to join us in this noble effort.

Our school staff is committed to serving the community and welcomes any questions and comments.  We would love to hear from you.
