Community – Background and History
General population characteristics
Wailuku Elementary School, established in 1904, is the home of the Wildcats. Our school has a legacy of educational excellence for over a century, and has built upon years of tradition to prepare our students for the future. We are located on a main thoroughfare, at the edge of the commercial center, business and government offices. The school is surrounded by established neighborhoods and new housing developments. The town of Wailuku is the county seat of Maui’s government, with State and Federal offices nearby. Wailuku town includes wooden storefronts around Market Street, many of which are family businesses in continuous operation for generations. Historical sites are located near and on the school campus. Growth in the Wailuku area prompted the opening of another elementary school nearby in July 2013. Redistricted school boundaries took effect school year 2013-2014. Student enrollment then dropped from over 1000 students, down to 705. By Fall of 2014, our enrollment had reached 726. Wailuku Elementary is part of the Baldwin Complex, which serves 3,823 students in five schools: three elementary (K-5), one intermediate (6-8) and one high school (9-12).
Family and community trends/education levels
According to the 2010 Census, 15,313 residents live in the Wailuku area. There are over 5,300 families. The average family size is 2.91.

State/federal program mandates
The Hawaii Department of Education has mandated that all elementary schools adopt the McGraw-Hill Wonders Reading Program for English Language Arts instruction and the Stepping Stones for math instruction. The Wonders Reading Program was adopted at the beginning of school year 2014-2015. The Stepping Stones curriculum has been adapted school year 2015-2016. Our state has also created a 6 priority strategy model for our school to adhere to. One of the strategies, Comprehensive Student Support System/Response to Intervention, requires our school to have a system that supports student’s behavior and academic needs. We have developed a system that identifies and provides support to students in the area of attendance, behavior, and reading. Our reading support program gives specific tiered instruction. This program screens students and delivers instruction during a daily sacred block in each grade level to target student’s specific needs. We have 4 full time teachers and 5 part time teachers that are dedicated Response to Intervention Teachers.
Parent/community organizations
Our school has an active Parent Teachers Student Association (PTSA). We have a Parent Community Network Communicator that works closely with the PTSA. This position directly impacts students by laying the foundation for our future community leaders, helping our students succeed, so that they may give back to our community. The PTSA has fundraisers that directly impact our school. The PCNC also organizes volunteers to help at our school. These volunteers not only spend their time assisting with office support, but also classroom support.
All of our activities are open to the entire school, with the exception of our 5th Grade Ohana Celebration. The PTSA holds an annual movie night that is always a huge success. There is an average of approximately 300 in attendance. The PTSA rents a high-definition projector and plays family friendly movies such as "Despicable Me 2" and “Big Hero 6,” on the May Day field, with free popcorn being served for the families. In October, Pumpkin Patch is a fun yearly event which involves families carving pumpkins together in the cafeteria. After a wonderful parade of costumes, the jack-o-lanterns are lit up on the stage as the lights are turned down for a wonderful display! In December, the annual Santa's Workshop has about 300 people attending each year.

Wailuku Elementary School HIDOE/ACS WASC Self-Study ReportSome school and community clubs and organizations, who use our school cafeteria, host a craft table for the families to enjoy. This year we had Cub Scouts Pack 68, Kama`aina Kids, WES student council, and PTSA provide crafts for the families to do while they waited for Santa to arrive. Picture taking with Santa and his elf is always the highlight of the night. Students and families can also enjoy cookie decorating. The Book Fair runs for 10 days in the school library and anyone can shop from 8:00 am-3:00 pm. In addition, we are holding two family events, one on Feb 4th, the Book Fair Parent Night and the other on Feb 7th, Story-time with Wally Amos in the cafeteria, with free pizza being served before the big event. After Wally Amos, families can also visit the library for the Book Fair. Furthermore, Magician Brenton Keith will return to perform in the cafeteria since he was a huge success last year. The biggest annual event of the year is May Day which features performances from every grade level at Wailuku Elementary School.
Since this is the first year that Stepping Stones is being implemented Wailuku Elementary and our PTSA put together an Origo/Stepping stones Math night. At this math night parents were invited to come and learn more about Stepping Stones and their math strategies. Two Origo math presenters were on hand to conduct a presentation and answer questions from parents.
Our school participates on The Food Bank program called “Backpack Buddies.” At the end of each week, in anticipation of the weekend, “needy” students receive a backpack filled with food that will feed them over the weekend.

WASC accreditation history for school
Wailuku Elementary School is in its first year of accreditation. The State of Hawaii requires elementary schools be accredited. “ In 2012, the Hawaii State Board of Education approved the Hawaii Department of Education’s five-year plan to accredit all public elementary schools that have not previously been accredited. These elementary schools are being phased into accreditation over a five year period so that by Spring 2019 all 159 schools will be accredited (http://www.acswasc.org/schools/public-hawaii/).”

Kindergarten Kamp is a one day program that involves teachers, students, parents, and staff to meet and engage in student activities that acclimate the student to the school’s environment. To also help with this transition, our school has a program during the month of April that invites the preschools in our community to visit our campus. We begin the school year with a time for the Kindergarten student and parent to meet one-to-one with their teacher. During this time, assessments are administered and the student and parent have an opportunity to become acquainted with the class and their teacher. Another program housed at our school is MEO Headstart. This program provides preschool to students that come from families that are economically challenged, high-risk, or special needs. We also have a Special Education Preschool Program. This program services preschool aged students in our community that require an Individualized Education Program.
Our school also provides a program for English Language Learners. Wailuku Elementary School has a New Comer Program that supports the transition of English Language Learners to our school. This program along with our English Language Learner Program emphasizes language acquisition to students whose first language is other than English.

Status of School in terms of student performance
Title 1Wailuku Elementary School is a Title 1 school according to Federal guidelines of having at least 40% of children from low income families that make up enrollment. At the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year, 67.61% of our enrollment consist of children from low income families. These students receive free or reduced breakfast and lunch. Students that receive free lunch also receive free bus transportation beyond a mile of school within our district boundaries. Some of these students may qualify to attend the afterschool program on our campus at no cost. Free tutoring is also offered to these students before and/or after school.
History of Adequate Yearly Progress status and Outside providers that are currently working with WESDuring NCLB we spent two years in restructuring, and one year in “Good Standing, Pending”. Since being in restructuring, we have had a private provider-Edison Learning, (now Catapult Learning) working with us. This service has decreased in intensity beginning in 2012-13. According to Strive Hi data we are now in “Continuous Improvement”.
Federally Imposed requirements for improvementCurrently our school is not under any state or federally imposed requirements for improvement.

Description of Safety Conditions, Cleanliness, and adequacy of School Facilities
Wailuku Elementary School has a School Safety Committee that meets quarterly to review, discuss, report, and to work on issues or concerns in regards to the overall school safety and well-being. At the beginning of every school year, all staff members are provided with safety procedures and information. All staff members, including substitute workers are required to review safety videos which include information on FERPA, Bloodborne Pathogens, PASSing with School Fire Extinguishers, and Workplace Violence Training. Wailuku Elementary School also conducts monthly fire drills. By the end of the first quarter of each school year, disaster drills (lockdown, shelter-in- place, school off site evacuation, earthquake). After every disaster drill, including fire drills, a debriefing is held, along with feedback from staff, to discuss the outcome of each drill and to determine which areas need to be worked on. During school off site evacuations, Wailuku Elementary School works in conjunction with Iao School as our off site location is Wells Park and vice versa. In order to ensure that there is communication within the school, especially in regards to emergencies, walkie talkies have been provided to are utilized by administration, counselors, office staff, SSC office, Curriculum Coordinator’s office, and majority of Educational Assistants on our campus. Educational assistants also utilize safety vests so that they are easily identified. In regards to school facilities, it is important to note that from the 2011 school year, school facilities inspection data are no longer available at the state level. Schools are still required to complete annual assessments of the facilities. Wailuku Elementary School does annual inspections of its facilities. NEED TO ADD MORE INFORMATION IN

Staff development and Professional DevelopmentStaff development on our campus has been focused around the shift in the standards and state mandated programs (Wonders and Stepping Stones). There are also opportunities for teachers to participate in professional development with outside organizations. There are seven teachers that are taking workshops on Integrating the Arts for Higher Order Thinking through the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. The State of Hawaii has also sponsored courses that teachers participate in; these include S.T.E.M. workshops, and English Language Learner workshops. Our Kindergarten, First grade, RTI teachers and curriculum coordinators also participated in the Beginning Foundational Reading Skills course. A great number of our teachers and staff are also participating in additional professional development that are offered by the State’s Professional Development Experiences that Educate and Empower (PDE3), and other various organizations.

Hawaii Department of Education requires elementary schools to use a four tiered standards based grading scale: Exceeds Proficiency, Meets Proficiency, Developing Proficiency, and Well Below Proficiency.
School-wide assessmentsThis school year is the first year Wailuku Elementary is implementing the i-Ready Diagnostic and Instruction program. i-Ready is being used as a universal screener and for progress monitoring of student’s reading and math skills. It is also being used during RTI time for differentiated instruction. Students in grades 1-5, took the initial diagnostic test in August and kindergarten took the test in September. Students in grades 1-5 will take the i-Ready diagnostic test again in December for the middle of the year data point and in May for the end of the year data point. The results of the test have been used as a data point to help create RTI groups.
