EGUSD Strategic Goals All students will receive high quality classroom instruction and curriculum to promote college and career readiness and close the achievement gap. High-Quality Classroom Instruction & Curriculum All students will benefit from instruction guided by assessment results (formative, interim and summative) and continuous programmatic evaluation. Assessment, Data Analysis, & Action All students will have an equitable opportunity to learn in a culturally responsive, physically, and emotionally safe environment. Wellness Family & Community Engagement All students will benefit from programs and services designed to inform and involve family and community partners.

Student Eligibility Certification The Indian Education Program is funded by a federal grant, with the support of LCFF funding. Federal dollars are granted for each child that submits a “506 Form”, which is dependent on tribal enrollment. As more students become eligible for services, our program has grown to provide more services and assistance to our students. District funding allows the program to serve self- identifying students.

Tutoring Available One of the major components of the program is student tutoring. If a student is not meeting grade level requirements or has low test scores, intervention is provided. One on one tutoring is provided. Group tutoring is provided through a partnership with the UC Davis American Indian Recruitment and Retention Program.
