SARC ELITE Public Schools 2 President/CEO's Message ELITE Public Schools is a TK-12 charter public school located within the boundaries of Vallejo City Unified School District (VCUSD). ELITE stands for Equipping Leaders through Innovation, Technology and Engineer- ing. The educational experience for students in ELITE Public Schools is designed to ensure that students meet rig- orous academic standards while being exposed to curricular and extracurricular offerings that prepare them to enter prestigious four-year colleges and universities and become global leaders. ELITE is comprised of four design elements that form the foundation of our success: entrepreneurial skill development, language development, a dual immersion pathway, and the African Amer- ican and Latino cultural heritage program. These elements provide students with the opportunity to invent, discover and develop themselves to achieve the necessary skills to be successful as they move forward in their lives and careers. ELITE offers additional features that include: • Full-day transitional kindergarten (TK) and kindergarten (K) • Sports programs School Accountability • Cognitive development activities Report Card • Warriors for Social Justice program In accordance with state and federal requirements, the School Accountability • Access to, and effective use of, technology Report Card (SARC) is put forth annually • Engineering pathway by all public schools as a tool for parents ELITE will be located within the boundaries of VCUSD and will serve students in grades TK-12. The school and interested parties to stay informed of opened in fall 2019 with an initial total enrollment of 548 students, growing to 821 students in year two, 1,063 the school’s progress, test scores students in year three and reach full enrollment of 1,212 students in year four. and achievements. ELITE’s program is designed to meet the individual needs of students. Students who are at or above grade level will participate in skill enhancement and enrichment activities throughout the day. Students who are below grade level standards will participate in skill-building activities and receive support to make acceler- ated progress toward meeting standards. ELITE staff members will focus on accelerating the achievement of all students and eliminate the opportunity gap.
