San Juan USD’s Local Control andAccountability Plan (LCAP)
Please join us Thursday 11/16/17 for an upcoming forum tohear about our LCAP and to provide input on what is most
important to you as we consider annual revisions
The LCAP is a state requirement as part of the historic LocalControl Funding Formula (LCFF). Every school district inCalifornia must create an LCAP that describes how the needsof all students and especially the targeted students groups(low income students, foster youth, homeless youth andEnglish Learners) are being addressed and are tied to studentoutcomes.
Our goals are to:
1. close achievement gaps and ensure all students graduatecollege and career ready
2. foster a respectful and collaborative school district cultureto ensure academic and social-emotional well-being for eachstudent.

Note from Counselors:
Students, please be sure all your common application colleges arelinked to Naviance by your first application due date. Keep in mindyour applications do not need to be completed or submitted until thespecific college actual due date. If you do choose to apply elsewhere, please send a curtesy email toyour counselor. Further, we will like to remind you that we will beout of the office from December 23rd until January 9th, and will notbe able to submit documentation until after we return. If you have any questions, please contact the counseling office.
1) It is never too early to start visiting college campuses.
Take advantage of colleges that are near a summer vacation spot; or Use it as an excuse to plan a family trip to Northern and/or SouthernCalifornia. Take the opportunity to visit college campuses, even if yourchild is not interested in attending that particular school. The opportunity tovisit different campuses can help your child narrow down a final decisionduring their senior year. You can narrow your choices and enhance yourvisits during the Junior and Senior years, but in advance of that – don’thesitate to step on as many college campuses as possible. You may besurprised at the wealth of information your child obtains.
2) It is never too early to start preparing for SAT and ACT tests.
We know our kids will be taking one or both of these tests to get intocollege. There is no reason to wait until your Sophomore or Junior year tostart studying, or to wait until your sign up for the test to start studying.There are many resources and free test study sights, including KahnAcademy, that provide practice questions. Take advantage of timeavailable, starting the Freshman Year, to become familiar with differenttypes of questions used on the test, the format of questions, the timeframe to answer questions, the areas where your student needs the mostwork, etc. By preparing early and not trying to cram just before the test –your student can come in better prepared and relaxed.
3) Spend some time figuring our what interests your child.
This effort will go a long way in making the college applicationdecisions easier. Your child doesn’t have to know what specific job theywant to do after college, but understanding if they love language, or can’tstand statistics, or love working with animals, or kids…. This can helpdrive discussions about professions that include their interests, which canlead to developing some ideas of college majors/minors that could lead tosuch jobs. You may consider researching summer camps that givechildren an opportunity to learn about interests outside of theirclassrooms. There are some incredible camps offered that touch onengineering, space, art, language, international travel, etc. Take the timeto research camps in case there is something that would benefit your childin determining their future direction.
Start early. This is a long process and there are so many differentcomponents. Do yourself a favor and start researching the process early.Gain familiarity with some extremely helpful, expansive websites –Naviance and Family Connection offer tools and a wealth of information.To really get the most from these sites – give yourself plenty of time tobecome familiar with all they have to offer. This can really help cut downon the chaos of the college application fervor.
5) Relax.
Do what you can do, and then relax. The process is arduous and tryingat times, but in the end, it is best to trust the process. Our children areresilient – there are opportunities to learn from a variety of schools andthere is no one answer for everyone.
