Elitha Donner Elementary
earns California Distinguished School honors.

Elitha
Donner has been selected as 2010 California Distinguished Schools.
Our school was honored at an awards ceremony at the Disneyland
Hotel in Anaheim on June 4, 2010.
As a part of the application process, schools are required to
write a narrative application and then undergo a site validation
process. Schools earning the Distinguished School title agree
to share their signature practices with other schools and serve
as a mentor to other educators who want to replicate the work.
The California School Recognition Program, now in its 24th year,
identifies and honors public schools with the California Distinguished
School Award. Participation in the program is voluntary. Elementary
and secondary schools are recognized in alternate years.
A total of 484 elementary schools were selected as California
Distinguished Schools for 2010. Schools that were selected to
apply for the award were identified for meeting designated federal
and state accountability measures based on No Child Left Behind,
Adequate Yearly Progress and the Academic Performance Index requirements.
The process was conducted by the California Department of Education,
along with the assistance of local educators from across the state
and in partnership with the county superintendents of schools.

Award program, visit http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/sr/cs/.

Elitha
Donner was selected to host a press conference on August 31,2004
when the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell
announced the statewide results of the Academic Performance
Index. Donner was selected as an outstanding example of quality,
since our API continues to be above 800, which is the target
score for all California schools, and we are the only school
in the Elk Grove District that has been above the 800 goal
for all ten years the API has been in use.
We are proud that we were selected to host the press conference,
and grateful that the staff and community continues to support
high standards for students!

During
the 2001-2002 school year, the winning tradition continued as
the Elitha Donner Volleyball team took first place. The Dolphins
faced stiff competition during league play, but they managed
to outlast all opponents and remained undefeated. The team was
coached by Mr. and Mrs. Matsumoto.

During
the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 school years, the Elitha Donner

of Mr. Perris, the Donner boys placed #1 in the entire District!
They set a record by winning 22 games in a row! |
