The mission of the Waterford Unified School district, in partnership with our community, is to provide a safe, respectful,  “child-first” learning environment through an articulated, integrated, and motivating curriculum while practicing solid educational principles, strategies, and technologies that develop life-long learners who are accountable, responsible, contributing members of society.

 

We believe that: Every child is unique; A sense of humor contributes to a healthy life; Education empowers a society; Knowledge empowers; Obstacles are an opportunity for growth: the family environment has a profound impact on children.

 

We believe in: Respecting yourself and others; providing and supporting a safe, comfortable environment; a supportive environment to enhance individual potential and opportunity.

Recommendation:  for the above named student to receive a high school diploma.  He has passed both portions of the CAHSEE using modifications in math and has met the following requirements:

*       An individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan is in place that requires a modification to be provided to the student when taking the CAHSEE;

*       The equivalent of a passing score has been obtained on the CAHSEE using a modification; and

*       Sufficient high school-level coursework has been either satisfactorily completed or is in progress in a high school-level curriculum sufficient to have attained the skills and knowledge otherwise needed to pass the CAHSEE.

*       The parent (or adult student) has notified the Special Education Department in writing or through the IEP process that s/he would like to pursue the granting of a waiver to receive a regular high school diploma.

*       Connecting Waters Charter School Board considers and approves the use of a modification for the CAHSEE requirement for the part or parts of the exam that were modified, and recommends the waiver be approved.
