Adelanto Elementary and West Creek principals outline SPSA goals, CAASPP trends
Summary
Principals from Adelanto Elementary and West Creek presented school plans emphasizing early literacy, PBIS, RTI interventions and targeted growth goals after mixed CAASPP results; both schools reported PBIS recognition and specific subgroup metrics.
Two elementary school principals presented their School Plans for Student Achievement during the Nov. 4 board meeting.
Ramon Rizzo, principal of Adelanto Elementary School, reported an enrollment of 266 students and described CAASPP results showing growth in some cohorts and improvements in distance‑from‑standard measures. Rizzo said targeted priorities for 2025–26 include early literacy professional development, SEL and PBIS, and RTI small‑group instruction, with a goal of 10% growth in ELA and math.
Howard Carrera, principal of West Creek Elementary, described an enrollment around 490 and noted mixed CAASPP trends with specific grade‑level gains. West Creek has achieved a PBIS Platinum award and plans to use MTSS structures, intervention teachers and coaching to address performance gaps, with a goal of reducing suspensions by 20% via strengthened PBIS efforts.
Trustees and the superintendent praised both staffs. Trustees asked about use of interim assessment tools (IABs and ELPAC practice items) and supports for students with IEPs; principals said they are implementing data chats, interim assessments and increased EL/RTI practices and will continue monitoring via SPSA action plans.
The presentations were framed as progress reports tied to district LCAP goals and concluded with appreciation for teachers and parent involvement.
