ALICE SHAW ELEMENTARY

School Profile:

Alice Shaw Elementary School is located in the northern region of Santa Barbara County on the California Central Coast and serves students in grades kindergarten through six following a traditional calendar. The school is located in a predominantly single-family home neighborhood with limited busing. There are nearly 560 students enrolled in 21 classrooms. We also have a Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA) that focuses on the intervention programs. From 2006 to present (2019), demographic characteristics have changed with a notable increase in the Socio-economically Disadvantaged and English Learner populations. Socio-economically disadvantaged students have increased from 27 to 55 percent over the past ten years. The English Learner (EL) population has increased from 10.4 to over 15 percent over the same time period.

Shaw parents are encouraged to get involved in their child's learning environment either by volunteering in the classroom, participating in a decision-making group, or simply attending school events. Parents stay informed on upcoming events and school activities through email, the school marquee, Parent Square and the school website. Parents are also invited to attend the academic activities of parent education nights, Parent Teacher Conferences, Back to School Night and Open House.
