School Data

    Discover this school

    John Yehall Chin parents love our small, welcoming school and the well-rounded education we provide their students. Being efficient and productive are the two attributes that we treasure the most here. We fully realize and accept without angst the importance of state mandated assessments. We believe in creating a learning environment that fosters caring and innovation so that our students are thirsting to transform our world. Our teachers possess a deep knowledge of their content areas and current research on human development to effectively teach all learners. We believe in using technology, as well as maintaining the all-important human touch, to communicate clearly and frequently with families.

    Monthly programs such as the Wells Fargo Bank Savings Program, the School Spirits Store, and weekly programs such as the School Pride Tickets, and the Lily Cai Chinese Cultural Dance Program are just some of the unique opportunities that our students and families all love.

    Opportunities for Parental Involvement

    We have a comprehensive parent involvement program. Moreover, parents can get involved in their own unique ways according to their work and life schedules. From volunteering in our classrooms and becoming Room Parents to volunteering from home, we appreciate parental involvement at all levels. The Parents Teachers Club meets once a month along with our School Site Council and English Language Advisory Committee groups. We communicate with our parents regularly through monthly School Newsletters, Classroom Newsletters every other week, Student Progress Updates every other week, Report Cards, home visits, in-person conferences, phone conferences, as well as during Parents Teachers Conferences in the Fall and Spring Semesters.
