Unity

At Elk 魅影直播 Unified, we are proud of our diversity.  We celebrate our diversity through numerous programs, activities and events designed to promote unity throughout our district. We provide our 7-12 schools with many leadership programs, such as Link Crew that trains members of the junior and senior classes to be Link Leaders who are seen as positive role models to motivate, lead, teach and guide freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful in high school.
 
We also care about school climate and provide the Safe School Ambassadors Program and Conflict Management where students receive training in critical skills, such as observation, communication, deflection, distraction, negotiation and referral. They are trained to notice negative behaviors and intervene and stop them before they escalate into more harmful forms of violence and create a sense of fear on campus. Safe School Ambassadors model tolerance and respect in their own interaction and are seen as role models for their peers. Many middle and high schools train conflict managers to assist in solving conflicts among their peers. Conflict managers assist in dispute resolution and facilitate activities throughout the school year to promote unity.
 
To celebrate the cultural diversity of our students, we also provide Multicultural Assemblies all grade levels to raise awareness of the many cultures and ethnicities represented in Elk 魅影直播 Unified.

English Learners (EL)

The goal of the Elk 魅影直播 Unified School District is to prepare all students for success in college, 魅影直播 and life experience after high school graduation. To support the unique needs of English learners (EL) toward this goal,  English Language Development (ELD) instruction is provided to all EL students attending school in EGUSD. The focus of the instruction is on language acquisition through the use of the CA English Language Development Standards and research-based instructional strategies proven to be successful with students who are still acquiring English.  While developing fluent English language skills, all EL students receive instructional support in learning the core content of their particular grade level. Parents or students who would like more information regarding their school’s ELD program may contact their school administrative office.

Harriet Eddy International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme

The Middle Years programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11 to 16. It provides a framework of learning that encourages students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers. The MYP emphasizes intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and the real world.

Honors/Advanced Placement Classes/International Baccalaureate Programme

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is a cooperative educational endeavor of the College Board and high schools. Based on the fact that many young people can complete college-level studies in their secondary schools, it represents a desire of schools and colleges to foster such experiences. Advanced Placement serves three groups: students who wish to pursue college-level studies while still in secondary school, schools that desire to offer these opportunities, and colleges that wish to encourage and recognize such achievement. Students will be notified about the honors/AP application process and timeline during the course registration process. For more information please visit .
