welcome

Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches

On behalf of the School Board of Palm Beach County it is

again my pleasure to welcome you to our community and to our schools. The Palm Beach County School District is committed to providing each student a world-class education. We are getting better each year as our graduation rate climbs, the achievement gap narrows, and more students matriculate to college.

Ten thousand students graduated this year and earned nearly $80 million in scholarships. The majority are going on to some of the best colleges and universities in Florida, throughout the nation and abroad.

Others are entering directly into the workforce armed with career academy “industry certifications.”

Validating our success, The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation has selected our district from among the 75 largest districts nationally as one of four finalists for the prestigious Broad Prize for Urban Education. It’s the largest prize in public education and will provide valuable scholarships for our students.

Palm Beach County offers a wide variety of public school choice at both traditional and charter schools. We have numerous choice programs and career academies, and topnotch neighborhood schools, some consistently ranked among the best in the country by Newsweek and The Washington Post (Suncoast, Dreyfoos School of the Arts, Atlantic, Boca Raton and West Boca high schools among them). Education Week recently acknowledged that our high schools have the second highest graduation rate in the state and the eighth-highest in the nation.

Education, from early childhood and K-12, through graduate school, is a vital part of the community’s future.

Our school system collaborates with more than 1,200 community business partners to ensure we offer the right mix of programs for our community’s needs. Our career academies are hugely successful at engaging students who graduate ready for college and the workplace. Eleven schools throughout the district at the elementary, middle and high school levels offer International Baccalaureate (IB) programs or diplomas.

Schools offer dual enrollment with Palm Beach State College, and all high schools have numerous Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

As a Palm Beach County native, a graduate of our public schools, and a parent of two public school children, I am committed to working with my fellow board members, school district personnel and our community partners to ensure that our school system grows ever stronger.

Whether your family has children with special gifts, special needs and/or special interests, I’ll bet that we have schools that are a perfect fit for you and your family.

inancial aid is more than just student loans. There are grants available from Federal, State of Florida and College sources. Aid is available to full-time or part-time students in all of our two-year programs and most shorter term vocational courses.

FEDERAL STUDENT AID Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education, ensures that all eligible individuals can benefit from federally funded financial assistance for education beyond high school. They consistently champion the promise of postsecondary education to all Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and its value to our society.

Federal Student Aid plays a central and essential role in supporting postsecondary education by providing money for college to eligible students and families. Partnering with postsecondary schools, financial institutions and others to deliver services that help students and families who are paying for college.

Today, Federal Student Aid performs a range of critical functions that include, among others: Educating students and families on the process of obtaining aid.

Processing millions of student financial aid applications each year Disbursing billions of dollars in aid funds to students through schools Enforcing financial aid rules and regulations Servicing millions of student loan accounts, and securing repayment from borrowers who have defaulted on their loans

Operating information technology systems and tools that manage billions in student aid dollars.

The federal student aid programs are authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended. They include federal grants, loans and workstudy programs.

The Florida Department of Education, Office of Student Financial Assistance website offers more information. Visit it at www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org.

FLORIDA BRIGHT FUTURES SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM The Bright Futures program allows Florida high school seniors with significant academic merit to earn a scholarship to any public college/University in the state. It also offers the same funds to students attending a private college in Florida. This scholarship does not apply if the student chooses to attend college outside the state of Florida and the scholarship may only be earned while in high school.

A certain SAT score or ACT score and high school GPA is required to earn a Bright Futures scholarship.

The scholarship only applies to undergraduate coursework (unless some graduate level classes are required for a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree). Summer semesters are currently not eligible for bright futures funding, even though most Florida Public Universities require at least six credits to be earned through summer study. This requirement can generally be satisfied by Advanced Placement or CLEP examination.

Adult Education, which includes Adult High School/Credit Lab, ESOL, Family Literacy, and GED, offers classes at no cost. These are academic classes designed to help adults learn English, earn a GED, go to college, or gain the knowledge and skills necessary to advance to a meaningful career.

Community Education offers elective classes in a variety of areas and interests, including art, cooking, computers, crafts, dance, fitness, foreign languages, music, sports and many more. Classes vary in length, with many classes lasting 4-8 weeks. Students are asked to pay a fee for Community Education classes to cover the cost of instruction and materials.

Both kinds of classes are offered in 25 Community Schools conveniently located throughout Palm Beach County.

These schools offer a variety of educational services for students of all ages and stages of life.

palm beach county schools FCAT grades 2011/2012 School Year (As of July 2012)

Schools are assigned a grade based primarily upon student

achievement data from the FCAT. School grades communicate to the public how well a school is performing relative to state standards. School grades are calculated based on annual learning gains of each student toward achievement of Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, the progress of the lowest quartile of students, and the meeting of proficiency standards. School grades utilize a point system. Schools are awarded one point for each percent of students who score high on the FCAT and/or make annual learning gains.

FLORIDA COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT TEST® 2.0 (FCAT 2.0) The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test® 2.0 (FCAT 2.0) is a criterion-referenced test that measures student achievement of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards. The transition from FCAT to FCAT 2.0 has now been phased in, and the 2011 FCAT 2.0 Reading (grades 3 – 10) and Mathematics (grades 3 – 8) assessments began this transition in the spring of 2011.

FCAT 2.0 Science (grades 5 and 8) was administered to students for the first time in the spring of 2012.

All Florida schools are required to teach the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, and the FCAT 2.0 will provide parents, teachers, policy makers, and the general public with an understanding of how well students are learning these standards.

student achievement of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, which are more rigorous grade-level expectations than the previous FCAT Sunshine State Standards.

Results from the statewide assessment program are the basis of Florida’s system of school improvement and accountability. Student achievement data from the FCAT 2.0 are used to report educational status and annual progress for individual students, schools, districts, and the State. Florida’s school grades are currently based on the percent of students meeting high standards and the percent of students who make learning gains. Elementary and middle schools are assigned a school grade based primarily on student achievement data from the FCAT 2.0 and End-of-Course exams. For high schools, 50 percent of the assigned school grade is based on the statewide assessments and learning gains, and 50 percent is based on components other than statewide assessments.

private schools

Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches

Typically, private schools are owned, operated and governed independently of any government. Religious bodies or independent boards of trustees can operate private schools. Private schools also receive funding primarily from nonpublic sources, including tuition payments and often other private sources, such as foundations, religious bodies, alumni or other private donors. In contrast, state and local education agencies (districts) and publicly elected or appointed school boards govern public schools. At some schools, parent/ teacher organizations or similar groups also play a role.

Choice is another defining characteristic of private schools: families choose private education, and private schools may choose which students to accept.

Home schooling offers parents the flexibility to choose the best educational method for their children. The spectrum of home schooling models runs from unschooling, also called self-learning or child-led learning, to a structured “school at home” type of environment.

Explore the different methods and styles of home schooling. You’ll be inspired, intrigued, and equipped with the tools to make the best educational choices for your own family.

The law requires the custodial parent(s)/guardian(s) of home education students to: Submit a Notice of Intent to establish a home education program (section 1002.41 (1) (a), F.S.) Maintain a portfolio containing work samples, reading list (title, author) and a log of educational activities.

Provide an Annual Evaluation; see Statutes and Frequently Asked Questions and Answers.

Submit the evaluation results to the Home Education Office annually, no later than your anniversary date.

In order to begin this process, contact your zoned public school.

If a home education student enrolls in a public school within the School District of Palm Beach County, grade placement and credits will be determined by the school administrator(s) according to district policies (district policy 8.14). The student's curriculum, portfolio, official transcripts (e.g., accredited correspondence programs), and annual evaluations may be reviewed at the school prior to placement or credit decisions.

If your child is currently enrolled in a public or private school, please complete the withdrawal process prior to enrolling in Home Education. In order to begin this process, contact the school your child attends.

child care & voluntary pre kindergarten

VOLUNTARY PRE KINDERGARTEN Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) is a FREE educational program created to prepare every fouryear-old in Florida for kindergarten and build the foundation for his or her educational success. The VPK program offers each child an opportunity to perform better in school and throughout life by offering quality programs that include developmentally appropriate curricula with a focus on early literacy skills, accountability, manageable class sizes, and increased teacher credentials. All eligible four-year-olds can participate in a VPK program option.

VPK’s vision is that Florida’s children are eager to learn and ready to succeed when they enter kindergarten. VPK’s Mission is to ensure that all children are intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially ready to enter school and ready to learn, fully recognizing the crucial role of parents as their child’s first teacher.

The School District of Palm Beach County (District)

SELECTING THE RIGHT CHILD CARE FACILITY Which childcare facility is right for you? It really depends upon the individual needs of your particular family. Before you begin researching your options, consider the following: Budget: How much money do you have budgeted for your childcare needs?

Hours and location: What childcare facilities are close to your home or work? Do they operate during the hours you need care?

General Questions: What ages does the facility accept and what specific services do you need?

www.PalmBeaches.org

participates in the Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) Education program by offering both school year and summer programs at select elementary schools. Students may participate in either a school-year 540-hour free VPK program or a summer 300-hour free VPK program, but not both.

Summer VPK is typically offered over a 40-day period during the summer from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Children are eligible if they are 4-years-old and did not use a VPK Certificate during the school year.

The VPK/Parent Fee Enrichment Program is offered in a limited number of schools.

Go to www.palmbeachschools.org/preschool/VPK ParentFundedEnrichment.asp for a list of participating schools. The parent funded enrichment portion of the day is offered at a cost to parents, and there is a limited number of seats. Enrollment is on a first come/first served basis.

For information about all VPK providers in Palm Beach County, contact Family Central at (561) 653-2458 or visit www.familycentral.org.

Some centers will accept non-potty trained children, sick care and transportation services for school-aged children, while others will not. Make sure a facility can meet all of your needs.

Is religious affiliation or instruction important to you? What type of accreditation, licensing and ongoing professional development training does a center and its caregivers provide? What are the typical caregiver-to-child ratios?

What is turnover like?

Caregivers who come and go make it hard on your child.

Getting used to new caregivers takes time and energy that could be spent on learning new things.

For information about all VPK providers in Palm Beach County, contact Family Central at (561) 653-2458 or visit www.familycentral.org.
