Support Services
The San Rafael Elementary School District has 240 full-time equivalent teachers, 10 site administrators and 95 classified staff. Special needs of students are supported by the services of resource specialists, speech and language specialists, school counselors, school psychologists, nurses and a librarian. Schools in the district offer GATE, enrichment and advanced learning programs as well as high quality music and art instruction and engaging technology-based experiences.

Student Achievement
San Rafael schools have adopted rigorous and challenging content and performance standards. During the fall parent conferences, Personal Learning Contracts are established for each child. These contracts are designed to challenge the student to meet or exceed state and district standards. Spring conferences are used to assess student progress. Grades 4-8 receive letter grade report cards. The schools use the CAT/6 and California Standards Tests as well as district-developed assessment tests to monitor individual student progress and measure school program effectiveness. STAR results are available at the district office or online at the California Department of Education's website: http://star.cde.ca.gov

Community Involvement
Parent volunteer participation within the district takes many forms. Parents assist in the classrooms and in PTA-sponsored programs that enrich the core curriculum and raise funds for student programs. Members of the business and residential community support the San Rafael Elementary School District through contributions to the San Rafael Public Education Foundation. Several community organizations and local businesses provide volunteers who assist in the classrooms or offer after school tutorial training.
