Dear Parents/Guardians of SAVA High School Students:
This letter is to inform you of some important changes that are taking place at Sacramento Academic
and Vocational Academy for the upcoming 2014-15 school year. SAVA is in the process of transitioning
to the new Common Core State Standards for English and Math. In order to effectively teach your
student according to these new standards, we need to make changes to our current instructional model
to increase instruction time in English and math.
9th- 11th Grade: Students in grades 9 through 11 will be expected to be on campus a minimum of one
morning a week for three hours to attend Common Core classes in English and math, followed by a
meeting with their teacher. During this time, students will be participating in small-group instruction
with their teacher. We are very excited to be able to offer these students individual technology tools to
complete the kind of assignments required by the Common Core standards and accompanying
assessments. These Common Core classes are mandatory and students must attend the full three hours
each week in order to stay enrolled in the program and earn credits in their English and math courses.
Some students may be required to attend additional support labs in the afternoons based on their
specific learning needs.
12th Grade (On Grade Level): Graduating seniors will attend their normal 90-minute teacher meeting
and a 90-minute Senior Block one day a week. They may also have to attend additional weekdays to go
to CTE classes or CAHSEE labs.
12th Grade (Credit Recovery): If your student is in the credit recovery program, he or she will attend a
90-minute appointment with their teacher, much as they do this year. They may have to come
additional times and days for CTE classes and labs as needed.
Our school-wide attendance policy states that if a student misses two consecutive weeks, or has three
absences in one semester, he or she will be withdrawn from our program. As instructional time is very
important, two tardies of more than 10 minutes (or 3 tardies of less than 10 minutes) equals an
absence. Please make sure your student is able to make it to school on time the day of their
appointment, and that they are able to stay for their full required time.
If you have any questions about the above changes and requirements, please do not hesitate to contact
the school administration at your campus.

Sacramento Academic & Vocational Academy (SAVA) is enrolling students for the
2014-2015 school year. In order to expedite enrollment we are asking you to
complete the attached forms and return them to SAVA Sacramento, SAVA
Elk Grove, SAVA @ the Fire House or SAVA Sim Center.
SAVA offers a wide variety of learning opportunities in a blended learning
environment. In 2014-2015 SAVA is expanding course offerings with our Career
Technical Education pathways.
Career Technical Education (CTE)
Many of SAVA’s CTE courses are now articulated with local community colleges,
giving students the opportunity to earn high school and college credit for
completing these courses with a grade of B or better.
SAVA currently offers classes within the following industry sectors:
 Arts, Media & Entertainment
 Hospitality, Tourism and Recreation
 Public Service
 Transportation
SAVA Online Academy
The SAVA Online Academy provides the unique combination of online learning
and face-to-face instruction in a focused environment set up to provide flexible,
self-paced learning. Curriculum in the Online Academy is A-G approved and
prepares students for entry into a four-year university. Students enrolled in the
Online Academy will attend class four days a week for three hours each day.
Special Education Services
SAVA students receive special education services through an agreement with Twin
Rivers Unified School District. Primary services are provided by Twin Rivers staff.
Though students with special needs have demonstrated success at SAVA, nonclassroom based instruction may not be the best placement for a student that
requires significant support. Twin Rivers staff will work with parents to make sure
SAVA is the best placement for your student.
Orientation
Student Orientation will take place prior to school starting in August. SAVA will
host several sessions that will allow you to learn more about CTE at SAVA and
other SAVA programs. More information about orientation will be sent to you this
summer.

1. Determine the TOTAL number of individuals living in your household (in the far left column below)
supported by the Total Household Income you are reporting.
2. Determine the TOTAL household income below that reflects that income.
Example: if your household size is “4” (e.g., two adults and two children) and your total household income is
$28,000 a year (e.g., income of both adults), then your income falls within Category 1 because your total household
income of $28,000 a year is less than $30,615.

The information submitted on this form is a confidential educational record and is therefore
protected by all relevant federal and state privacy laws that pertain to educational records
including, without limitation, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA),
as amended (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99); Title 2, Division 4, Part 27, Chapter 6.5 of
the California Education Code, beginning at Section 49060 et seq.; the California Information
Practices Act (California Civil Code Section 1798 et seq.) and Article 1, Section 1 of the
California Constitution.
Who should I include in “Household Size”?
You must include yourself and all people living in your household, related or not (for example,
children, grandparents, other relatives, or friends) who share income and expenses. If you live with
other people who are economically independent (for example, who do not share income with your
children, and who pay a pro-rated share of expenses), do not include them.
What is included in “Total Household Income”? Total Household Income includes all of the following:

Gross earnings from work: Use your gross income, not your take-home pay. Gross income
is the amount earned before taxes and other deductions. This information can be found on
your pay stub or if you are unsure, your supervisor can provide this information. Net income
should only be reported for self-owned business, farm, or rental income.

Welfare, Child Support, Alimony: Include the amount each person living in your household
receives from these sources, including any amount received from CalWORKs.

Pensions, Retirement, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Veteran’s
benefits (VA benefits), and disability benefits: Include the amount each person living in
your household receives from these sources.

All Other Income: Include worker’s compensation, unemployment or strike benefits, regular
contributions from people who do not live in your household, and any other income received.
Do not include income from CalFresh, WIC, federal education benefits and foster payments
received by your household.

Military Housing Allowances and Combat Pay: Include off-base housing allowances. Do not
include Military Privatized Housing Initiative or combat pay.

Overtime Pay: Include overtime pay ONLY if you receive it on a regular basis.
Do I report household income received on a yearly, monthly, twice a month, every two weeks,
or weekly basis?

You may report household income using whatever frequency you receive it.

When reporting total household income on a yearly basis, report the yearly income for the
current year. When reporting income on a monthly, twice per month, every two weeks, or
weekly basis, report the income from your most recent paycheck.
If your income changes, include the wages/salary that you regularly receive. For example, if you
normally make $1,000 each month, but you missed some work last month and made $900, use
$1,000 per month. Only include overtime pay if you receive it on a regular basis. If you have lost your
job or had your hours or wages reduced, enter zero or your current reduced income.
For additional information on Household Size and Gross Household Income, please see the
Eligibility Manual for School Meals on the U.S. Department of Agriculture Guidance and
Resource Web page at http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/guidance/default.htm.

Notification of Rights under FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99)
is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all
schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These
rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school
beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible
students."
Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's
education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide
copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for
parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for
copies.
Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records
which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend
the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After
the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible
student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view
about the contested information.
Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in
order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA
allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or
under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):
o
School officials with legitimate educational interest;
o
Other schools to which a student is transferring;
o
Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
o
Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
o
Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
o
Accrediting organizations;
o
To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
o
Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
o
State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific
State law.
Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name,
address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of
attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory
information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request
that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents
and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification
(special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to
the discretion of each school.
Student education records will be maintained in part on behalf of the school by EdTec and its
contractors (including CCSA) in order to provide student data in usable form to the school for
research and analysis in order to evaluate and improve instructional programs at the school,
to plan educational interventions needed by individual students, and to track student
progress over time; Employees, contractors and subcontractors, and employees of
contractors and subcontractors, of EdTec will be deemed school officials for the purpose of
access to personally identifiable information derived from student education records only if
they have a legitimate interest in maintaining, organizing, or analyzing the data for research
or study proposes to benefit instruction at the school and at other schools that participate in
the Zoom! Program and to track students’ progress over time, consistent with 34 CFR 99.7;
Personally identifiable information derived from students’ education records and maintained
by EdTec will not be further disclosed to third parties, except to an organization performing a
study to benefit instruction on behalf of the school, subject to conditions in the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Title 1 School-Level Parental Involvement Policy
Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy
Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy Charter School will distribute to parents a School Parental Involvement Policy
that contains information required by section 1118(b) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) – section 1118 of
no Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. The policy establishes the school’s expectations for parental involvement and
describes how the school will implement a number of specific parental involvement activities.
We believe effective parent involvement makes a positive difference in the educational success of all students. We see
“parents” as anyone involved in the care and/or educational support of the child, including grandparents, aunts, uncles,
siblings and guardians. Parents will be surveyed yearly to ascertain their interests and needs to help their children be more
successful.
Involvement of Parents in the Title 1 Program
To involve parents in the Title 1 program at the Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy, the following practices have
been established:
The school agrees to be governed by the following statutory definition of parental involvement, and will carry out
programs, activities and procedures in accordance with this definition:
We must make it a priority to keep the parents informed about what is happening at school, what is happening with
their child and how the parent can help with both. The school offers a flexible number of meetings for Title 1
parents at multiple SAVA campuses.
The school will make parents aware of parental involvement opportunities through the School Handbook, on the
School Website, using the All Call notification system, and during the enrollment process.
The school involves parents of Title 1 students in an organized, ongoing and timely way, in the planning, review, and
improvement of the school’s Title 1 programs and the Title 1parental involvement policy.
The School Site Council (SSC) will annually update the School Parental Involvement Policy to meet the changing needs
of parents and the school.
The school will provide parents with timely information about Title 1 programs, explains the curriculum and
assessments used at the school and provide opportunities for regular meetings that allow the parents to participate in
decisions relating to the education of their children.
Building Capacity for Involvement
Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy engages Title 1 parents in meaningful interactions with the school. It
supports a partnership among staff, parents, and the community to improve student academic achievement. To help reach
these goals, the school has established the following practices.
The school provides Title 1 parents with assistance in understanding the State’s academic content standards,
assessments, and how to monitor and improve the achievement of their children.
The school distributes information related to school and parent programs, meetings and other activities, including
direct calls home.
The school provides Title 1 parents with materials and training to help them work with their children to improve their
children’s achievement.
The school educates staff members about the value of parent contributions and in how to work with parents as equal
partners.
Accessibility
Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy provides opportunities for the participation of all Title 1 parents, including
parents with limited English proficiency, parents with disabilities, and parents of migratory students.
