our school
is an independent Charter School be we became
an independent Charter School in 2003 prior
to that we were part of LAUSD our
main goal here is to
Vidor students with a quality education so
that they can be successful when they go to middle
school high school and then College and Career
95% of our kids are
Latino Or Hispanic and
4% are black or African
American and the 1%
left is that other ethnicity 90%
of our kids are
economically disadvantaged so
we are one of those schools at the 90%
that are free or reduced lunch
I'm there's a lot of practices that I think
I'm contribute to our school Success but I think
the main one is the highly qualified staff
our teachers
are paraprofessionals our support
Personnel they're all highly qualified and I'm
in the most important thing is that
they are very dedicated most of the people
here are from this community and they simply care
about the children the families so
I think that's one of our major strength is
that that they are the weak are and
when vested in this community
my teacher said they help they help
us out a lot and they worry
about it really good way
of teaching students as
a good with educating
I have a nice safe
rules for everyone to follow
IMD technology
integration start trouble, charter school
and I teach robotics
team-based is Project based its Hands
On Learning the kids absolutely loved
it they learn coding 3D
design
I also helped run
a couple of clubs including the
Wildcat News Network the ideas
to report a news in the school and in
the community
I enjoy robotics
the most because in robotics
you get to build and learn about technology
and all this other
stuff with helping the Earth and space
and when I grow up I want to be an
engineer for NASA so that really helps
you poop
cuz I get to Salem moose everybody I
got to write stories and I get to pick you up
hello Mimi
cooking
classes
provide all organic produce
for them we try to show
them different aspects of the of the corner if you don't
expose them to different things that
are you still at home that's our main goal here at this
early stage and in their in their life
they just need to be exposed to different things for when they
grow up they can be accustomed to
the more option especially on
low-income areas where there they might
have the option at home are providing them a full
breakfast and Trish is best in the morning gives them energy that
they need to move on to the day
and focus on their classrooms through their their projects
and not have to worry about that throughout the day
so they're not your stomach is not hurting their
and I can focus on on on their learning
projects
in our program we do
to the ring with lightning Squad and
our Intervention Program focuses
on helping students that are below grade
level and if they are reading at grade level
we help them attain their reading level as
well so in our classroom we
do 30 minutes of reading tutoring
tutors in here also do I activate
and in our tutoring
group we are hoping that they can reach grade
level by the end of the quarter
because I seen the difference between
LUSD and a tartar
and I just stay in that the ones I were coming here
to Pacoima Charter or help more
and were more their grade level than
the one until you see Charter
has a doctor on site everyday a
nurse on site everyday they have
counselors where I could talk to I
have my son that's in second grade and
