Elementary Education
The elementary education department is dedicated to excellence in education for
11,676 students at 22 elementary sites. This commitment to continuous
improvement galvanizes the teaching and support work by more than 732 full and
part-time employees. Our hallmark of excellence is our well-trained and highly
motivated staff, strong instructional leaders, high expectations and well-defined
rules of behavior for students. A strong corner stone of our success is a high
degree of parent involvement and a well-informed and involved community.
We have aligned our curriculum and assessment to the State Content Standards.
We use a standards based assessment three times per year which allows us to
monitor and adjust instruction based on student achievement. We also use a
standard based report card. These tools will allow us to better communicate with
parents about their student’s progress in acquisition of the state content standards
at their grade level.
In the elementary education department, each elementary school maintains an active
Student Progress Team that identifies students who are not progressing toward
mastery of the state standards and design a plan of appropriate intervention to
ensure student success. These interventions are individualized to meet the needs of
the student but may include small group instruction, after-school tutorial,
intersession, summer school or one-on-one remedial assistance.
Our goal of educational excellence for all students is possible only because of the
dedication of teachers and our collaborative partnership with
parents. In Newport-Mesa no child will be left behind.
Bonnie Swann, Director
Secondary Education
The office of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction is responsible
for managing the instructional program in grades 7-12. This
includes planning and implementing staff development activities,
coordinating the efforts of the District’s Secondary Curriculum
Committees, and developing and updating course descriptions. In
addition, this office is responsible for the process to select and
purchase textbooks and instructional materials. A significant goal
for this office will also be to ensure that all secondary curriculum
and instruction are aligned with the California State Content
Standards. This office also provides support to the schools with
the implementation of new programs and policies.
Barry Barrowitz, Director

Peggy Anatol, Director
Community Facilitators
The School/Community Facilitator Program was initially created in the
Newport-Mesa Unified School District to connect the students at the highest
risk and their families with school and community programs and services in
the pursuit of our goal to help every child succeed in school.
To achieve this goal the School/Community Facilitator acts as resource and
liaison in the four focus areas of highest need: Reading and Academic
Progress, Attendance, Parent Involvement and After-School Support.
Additionally, the School/Community Facilitator is required to be bilingual and
bicultural.
Nineteen of our elementary and secondary schools provide these services on
a full-time basis. This is a result of the academic and social success of the
schools that originally implemented the program.
Collaboration with community services agencies is fundamental to the
success of the program. The Community Facilitators have established
successful relationships with many organization, e.g., Hoag Community
Medicine, ASPEN, SOS, FISH, Shalimar Learning Center, UCI, Vanguard and
Coastline Community Colleges.
In-depth knowledge of District and school policies and programs allows the
School/Community Facilitator to provide parents with information that will
make their involvement with their student more effective.
Academic and social success for all of our Newport-Mesa
Unified School children is steps closer when the whole community
works together in achieving a common goal.

NMUSD Preschools
The Newport-Mesa Unified School District currently
provides state 432 preschool students at Harper,
Whittier and Wilson Schools and the Preschool
Intervention Program (PIP) at the Harper site. The
district provides a broad continuum of instructional
settings for special education preschool students, with the addition of inclusion
classrooms with special education teachers and early childhood educators coteaching in the same learning environment.
The NMUSD Preschool program provides a well-rounded program that meets the
developmental needs of each student enrolled, with the use of current educational
theories and philosophies in the field of early childhood education. We recognize
that each child is a unique individual with distinctive needs. We provide
developmentally-appropriate learning environments that encourage children to be
actively involved in acquiring knowledge and skills through a variety of individual,
small group, and large group activities. Children experiment with new concepts
and practice new skills through activities that encourage socialization, creative
play, and language-rich interactions with others. The preschool staff works
closely with the kindergarten teachers at District elementary schools, through
the HOPE School Readiness Program, to ensure that all preschool students
experience a smooth transition into kindergarten, and build upon
their learning in the preschool program.
Kathryn Hofer, Principal
School Readiness
The NMUSD HOPE School Readiness Program was established to ensure that all children have
the right “ingredients” to succeed in school: access to early childhood education programs to
develop language and literacy skills, preventive health care, and families who are empowered
with information about child development and resources in our community.
HOPE stands for: Health, Opportunities, Preparation, and Education. The eight components of
the HOPE School Readiness Program work in concert with one another, under the leadership of
the Director of Early Childhood Education, to ensure that every child in our community enters
kindergarten ready to succeed. The Director of Early Childhood Education coordinates the
District’s efforts to align preschool and kindergarten curriculum with District goals and state
performance standards to increase student performance, oversees the implementation of curriculum programs at all school sites with
kindergarten and preschool programs, serves as a resource for local providers to promote best practices in early childhood education
throughout the community, provides leadership to the District’s efforts to increase readiness for kindergarten, successful completion of
first grade and the ability to read fluently by the end of the third grade, and promotes parent involvement that supports child development
and learning.
The NMUSD Preschool Program Component follows the California Prekindergarten Learning and Development Guidelines and provides a
developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on getting all children ready for kindergarten. The curriculum centers on physical wellbeing, motor skills development, social development, language development, cognitive and general knowledge and approaches towards learning.
The staff works closely with the Child Assessment and Registration staff to ensure that children in our preschool programs experience a
smooth transition to the kindergarten program.
The HOPE School Readiness Resource Centers at the Whittier and Harper Preschool sites, house early childhood education, health, and
parenting resources for district preschool and kindergarten staff, local early childhood education and care providers, and parents. The
Resource Centers offer an on-line research station, samples of curricular materials to review, and a myriad of print and video resources
available for checkout. They are also venues for training and collaboration for early childhood educators. The Director serves as a liaison to
the Technology Component, which will allow the wider community to access information and training on best practices for early childhood
education and care through technology and the local media.
The Healthy Start and Family Support Components provide access and referral to: pediatric services and immunizations; vision, hearing,
dental, and developmental screenings; and resources and workshops on health, nutrition, and community services for families.
The Director of Early Childhood Education serves as a liaison to Adult Education programs that provide English Language Development,
parenting, and other courses to help parents of young children succeed in their own learning and promote their child’s learning at home.
The Public Awareness Component fosters collaboration among public and private organizations in the community that provide services to
young children and their families, advocates for systemic reform in programs for young children, monitors legislation
and administrative decisions impacting children, and provides data and information to policymakers, the public and the
media about the need to invest in our children.
Lorie Hoggard, Director
Beckman @ Science
NMUSD students are participating in
exciting science discovery. K-6
students throughout the district are

hands-on science instruction.
Our partnership with the
Beckman@Science program and a grant
from the Allergan Corporation are
collaborating to provide content-rich, standards aligned, research-based inquiry
instruction in science. Together with “science notebooking” and complementary
expository reading materials, our students are acquiring the skills
needed to perform well in science assessments and participate in
college-bound science classes after elementary school.

Special Education
The Newport-Mesa Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) is a single-district plan of the NewportMesa Unified School District. The District serves the communities of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach
with a combined community population of approximately l63,000. The District student population is
approximately 21,500 and continues through child find activities to identify l0% of the student
population as individuals with exceptional needs. The District provides all identified students
appropriate placement. The District provides placement within for 99.6% of its students. There are
0.4% (below l%) students being served by other SELPAs through inter-SELPA agreements as developed
by county cooperative programs. In addition, the District participates in the county cooperative
programs by serving individuals with exceptional needs, placements (Comprehensive Deaf Program) for
six other service regions.
All Newport-Mesa schools are school based. The District/SELPA provides comprehensive programs and
services for all students identified as individuals with exceptional needs from age 3-22. The continuum
of the least restrictive placement is available to appropriately meet the individual’s needs. In addition
to the school level School Appraisal Team and the Educational Assessment Team at the district level,
the District has a specialized team for the purpose of assessment of children from birth to school age.
Transition plans are designed and implemented for all students 14 years of age and over.
Support and regionalized services are directly available to programs and staff. A staff of extremely
capable program specialists representing credentials and experiences in all areas of exceptionality are
available. SELPAs within Orange County also share their expertise with other districts. The District/
SELPA provides continuous staff development experiences for all employees and parents. The SELPA
operates a coordinated transportation system and it also cooperates and participates in a county-wide
comprehensive transportation system.
A full continuum of services is provided for all students identified as having intensive needs.
Identification and assessment are provided through an experienced multidisciplinary team operating
through the Preschool Intervention Program (PIP).
Assessment procedures include parent input,
authentic assessment strategy, observations in environments appropriate for 3 and 4 year olds as well
as the administration of selected standardized tests.
For those students found eligible according to
federal and state criteria an intervention program is designed by the assessment team and the parent.
Assessment and program information from infant and toddler programs are considered when available.
Services provided by this intervention program may include consultation services to parents and
community preschools, designated instruction, related services, and special day class placements. The
SELPA participates with other SELPAs, county school programs and non-public schools to provide
regionalized alternatives for those children with low-incidence disabilities.
The SELPA works
cooperatively with agencies and programs that provide services to the pre-three year olds as well as to
those that will receive five year olds to assure smooth and effective transition of
programs and services.
Patrick Ryan, Director
English Learners
Welcome to the Department of English Learner Programs! Our department provides ongoing
support to our district’s programs designed for students who arrive in our schools without a
full command of the English language. Thus, we coordinate resources and support to our
English Learners (ELs) and their families.
Our acronym of LEARN clearly identifies our purpose and goal areas: Newport-Mesa Unified
School District is committed to ensuring that all children acquire language and English in a
highly-accountable environment where respect and dignity are everywhere present.
Our department has five overarching goals:
1.
Implement an effective program for English Learners;
2.
Ensure that all ELs access and master English Language Development;
3.
Ensure that all ELs access and master the core curriculum
4.
Decrease retentions, drop-outs, suspensions, and disciplinary referrals;
5.
Increase GATE and AP enrollments, college entrance exam success, and university enrollments;
Reinforce an environment characterized by respect and dignity in which students can respond with advantage to
opportunities at school, home, and in wider society.
Our district-approved Master Plan for English Learners guides our work. This comprehensive document is based on
federal law, state laws and regulations, district policies, our district Strategic Plan, and research-informed, proven
instructional practices. In order to implement this Master Plan, we have purposefully structured and organized our
work in order to meet our goals. The major organizational components are:
•
Department of English Learner Programs, with a Director, Administrative Assistant, Lead School/Community
Coordinator, resource teachers, and translation services;
•
English Learner Assessment Center;
•
English Learner Coordinator at each site;
•
English Learner Coordinating Council;
•
Parent Advisory Groups;
•
Procedures and documents to organize and monitor our programs and services.
We recognize that our English Learners face enormous challenges. They and their families must master a new
language. They are expected to learn the content and meet demanding grade-level standards across the curriculum.
Newcomers must also overcome significant hurdles in adapting to schools and communities that are very different
from the ones with which they were familiar in their countries of origin. In addition, ELs must also master the social
and cultural knowledge necessary to be able to participate effectively in the classroom, school,
and community contexts. Our department is dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for
English Learners and their families and to providing ongoing support for our dedicated
teachers, administrators, and staffs at each of our school sites. In order to remain focused
on our goals and ensure maximum success for each English Learner, our work is guided by our
themes of consistency, clarity, compliance, and continuing
improvement.
Karen Kendall, Director
Educational Technology
Newport-Mesa is moving forward aggressively in implementing technology into our 30 school sites. Last year
alone, over $1,000,000 was spent on the purchase of new computers.
In grades 9-12, there is now one
Internet connected computer for every 4.5 students. This compares to one computer to every 9.4 students
nationally. All of our high schools are classified as “Digital High Schools” by the state of California.
What about the other grades?
Over this past year, over 400 new computers were placed into grades K-8.
And how are we getting connected to the Internet?
We have been using some of the latest technology
available, wireless, to reach student and teachers desktops district wide. Small transmitters, about the size
of a large Hershey (about 6” across) are able to send signals up to 150’, even through walls.
have untethered ourselves with cell phones, wireless computing is now coming of age.
Much as we
District wide we now
have Internet connections into approximately 80% of our classrooms. This compares to 76% nationally.
But how are these tools being used?
Basic computer skills of word processing, Internet and email,
presentation programs, spreadsheets and databases are being covered through a variety of ways.
Some of
the most exciting strategies are the use of web-based software from such companies as Learning.com. Their
product, EasyTech, not only helps students learn these important skills, but also incorporates them into our
state curriculum standards.
And what about our teachers and administrators? Newport-Mesa is working to implement the state Teacher
Technology Proficiency Standards for our entire teacher corps district wide.
We are also implementing the
Intel Teach to the Future training program for over 40 teachers in our K-6 sites.
These site tech leaders
will be able to assist their fellow educators in using these powerful tools. And for administrators, we will be
implementing a highly targeted training program of key technology application skills this coming year.
By
years end, every one of our district principals, administrators, cabinet members and even our superintendent
will have a base level of competency in computer applications.
And finally digital video.
under $2,000,
This exciting technology is now not only affordable, but very easy to use.
For
students and teachers can purchase a digital video camera, computer and software to make
student made projects. Video is part of our culture and definitely part of our students. We can now engage
them through this powerful medium. Important skills needed for living in the 21st century are
reinforced using video, skills in such areas as digital age literacy, inventive thinking, effective
communication and high productivity.
Steve Glyer, Director
Staff Development
Established in 1992 and based on a four-year pilot project, the
Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) Program provides
opportunities for fully-prepared first and second year teachers to
expand and deepen their teaching knowledge and skill. The BTSA
Program also provides a smooth transition into the complex
responsibilities of teaching, increases the retention of beginning teachers, and improves learning
opportunities for their K-12 students. The BTSA Program has grown extensively in recent years.
Purpose/Objectives
The California Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment Program (E.C. 44279.2) is administered jointly by
the Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the California Department of Education. The purposes of BTSA
are to:
•
Provide an effective transition into the teaching career for first- and second-year teachers in California
•
Improve the educational performance of students through improved training, information, and assistance

Newport-Mesa Unified School District offers parents a fast, convenient method for
purchasing elementary school lunches – prepayment via cash, check or credit card.
Children who are prepaid carry a coded lunch card. This eliminates the daily search
for lunch money and the every day problems associated with children carrying money
to school.
Parents fill out a simple request purchase available at all schools, and the lunch card
adjusts automatically with each purchase.
The prices for school lunches are $1.75 for Kindergarten and $2.00 for grades one
through six.
Each lunch meal includes:
·
Fresh, frozen or canned fruit or 100% fruit juice
·
Fresh or frozen vegetables
·
Grains such as rice, pasta or bread
·
1% white or non-fat chocolate milk
·
Individual or combination servings of protein sources such as
chicken, fish, beef, turkey, cheese, yogurt, tofu and/or
legumes (beans).

Costa Mesa High School and Middle School serves students from grades 7-12; the transition from junior high to high school is
facilitated because of the school's configuration. The Costa Mesa High School campus is located on the corner of Fairview

competitions. Our seventh-graders are placed in "villages" where students have a "home" group for at least three periods a
day. Our "Homework Club" offered in collaboration with the YMCA and the OCDE serves at-risk junior high students after
school and additional help is offered to all grades after school through a district program.

ceremonies. Our Career Center offers to students job announcements, college admission information,
military testing and presentations, and an annual Career Fair with employers from the community informing students of professional opportunities.

Monte Vista Alternative High School provides independent study as a learning strategy. The
Education Code mandates that students enroll voluntarily, and encourages students to use
their free time to follow their own interests. Most students are 16 to 19 years of age, have
completed 120 credits, and involved in activities in the community which prevent them from
attending a traditional high school day. All students meet teachers on regular appointments
either individually or in a small group. During appointments, instruction is provided, work is
corrected, and new activities are assigned. Students must produce a minimum of twenty-five
hours of work weekly and finish their class within a four-week period to satisfy regulations
approved by the Newport-Mesa Board of Education.
Monte Vista was one of the first five California high schools specializing in independent study
to receive WASC accreditation. It is in its second six year “clear” WASC accreditation term.
Monte Vista received Digital High School funding in 2000 and, as a result, technology supports
every subject. Students and teachers use technology as a teaching and learning tool, to assist
students in achieving their potential, and to provide them with many new opportunities to
expand their career and post-secondary goals. The integration of technology requires students
to spend more time on campus than previously expected. Assignments unable to be
completed on home computers will require completion in our classrooms or computer lab.
