As a grantee in the James B. McClatchy Foundation’s Pre-K initiative, Growing Strong Learners, the Central Valley’s Galt Joint Union Elementary School District (GJUESD) is working to support parents, families, schools, and communities in developing tools and processes to support successful kindergarten entry and continuing academic achievement for the district’s English Learner students.

The central goals of the project include increasing family engagement and building the capacity of parents and educators to promote kindergarten readiness for English Learners. The purpose of this evaluation was to collect data from the 2019–2020 school year at Fairsite Preschool and involved analysis of data related to parent engagement, teacher practices, and kindergarten readiness outcomes in students.
