NEW LOGO, WEBSITE GREET NEW SCHOOL YEAR
Design hails every student as star
SAN DIEGO The San Diego Unified School District will celebrate the start
of the school year on Sept. 8 with a new look and logo.
The district Communications Department has been working over the summer with
the local graphic design firm Greenhaus (http://greenhaus.com/), which
donated its services, to design a modern, updated logo. With the endorsement
of the Board of Education, the new logo was unveiled this morning at the
annual Administrators Back-to-School Meeting.
The new logo highlights the district¹s theme: ³San Diego Unified School
District &lsqauo; Where Every Student is a Star.²
The new look will also transform the new district website that will be
launched on September 8 at the first Board of Education meeting of the new
school year. The new website will bring the latest web technology to the
district; expanding online communications with school communities, employees
and the general public.
Designed by Schoolwires (http://www.schoolwires.com), the website will allow
departments and school sites to manage their own web presence with a full
content management system. The Communications and Information Technology
departments will be working during the coming months to phase in the new
website and provide training for staff to manage their own web content.
For more information, please contact Chief District Relations Office Bernie
Rhinerson at (619) 725-5578 or brhinerson@sandi.net .

"The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives." - Robert M. Hutchins
Today, Superintendent Grier was identified as the final candidate for the
Superintendent position in the Houston Independent School District. Under
Texas state law, this begins a 21-day period before a final selection can be
made. Our board will be meeting with Dr. Grier as soon as possible to better
understand this situation and to review our options.
Dr. Grier has provided positive leadership to our district during the last
18 months and we have made significant progress for our students during that
time. He has put an excellent leadership team in place who will continue to
work hard for to support our schools and boost student achievement.
I want to assure our school community and each and every member of our
district team, that during this period the Board of Education remains
committed to our focus on our students and to supporting our teachers,
principals and our support staff to accomplish our goals. As we get ready
for the new school year, we all need to celebrate our accomplishments and
use the progress we have made together to help us continue to improve our
district.
I also want to encourage all of our staff to continue to work hard to
prepare for the best ever school year in our history. Our students depend on
all of us to help them prepare for successful futures and that is our
primary focus.
I remain positive and optimistic about our future. We can all look back at
the 2008/09 school year with great pride in what we have accomplished for
our students. This week we announced the most significant gains in STAR test
results that we have seen in years. We can also be proud of the decline in
our district dropout rate, the increases in students taking AP courses, and
several other initiatives we have launched to improve student achievement.
We will keep you closely informed of any developments with this matter in
the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Shelia Jackson

San Diego Unified STAR Test Results Reach All Time High
Test Scores Improve at Every Grade Level
SAN DIEGO - Overall San Diego Unified results from the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program in math, English language arts and science for students in grades 2-11 showed significant increases in 2009, according to results released today by the California Department of Education.
In English language arts and mathematics, district scores improved at a rate higher than the last three years progress combined. Students meeting state standards in English language arts now total 52 percent, with math 46 percent and science 49 percent. Among California's nine largest school districts, San Diego's science scores are tops; only San Francisco and Garden Grove exceed San Diego's math and English language arts scores.
"Despite record budget cuts, our students and staff have continued to excel and continued to improve," said Superintendent Terry Grier. "This is a great example of the kind of hard work going on in our district and our shared focus on student achievement."
Grier pointed to several bright spots in the test score results for the district. Achievement gains for students in grades 2-5 were significant ranging from 6 to 8 percent. Grade 4 showed the most significant progress and the highest achievement levels with 64 percent proficient in English language arts and 68 percent proficient in math. Math scores continue to show significant gains in all elementary grades but achievement levels drop off at the middle and high school level. And, the persistent "achievement gap" between African-American and Latino students compared to white and other groups showed a slight one-percent improvement district-wide in English language arts.
"San Diego Unified is on the right path to improve student achievement levels and we should celebrate these results," said Grier. "Our teachers' focus on teaching California standards, the implementation of SMART Goals for our schools, the efforts of our principals to support our teachers and expanded use of student data have all combined to help us realize these test score increases."
Several schools had individual successes, with Correia Middle School in Pt. Loma narrowing its achievement gap, Edison Elementary School in City Heights increasing the number of English language arts and math-proficient students by 20 percent, and Kearny High School of International Business raising the percent proficient in English language arts and math by more than 14 percent.
"As we celebrate these results, we also need to recommit this district to maintaining our focus on student achievement," said Grier. "Our low achievement levels in our high schools and the wide achievement gap between students of color and our white student population remain unacceptable and will be our focus as we move forward."
San Diego's full results are posted on the district's website at www.sandi.net. Statewide results are available on the California Department of Education's website at http://star.cde.ca.gov/ <http://star.cde.ca.gov/> .
