Our Mission, Culture & Promise

OUR MISSION

Calero's mission is to support students to recover credits, help them build success habits, and plan for a successful future.  Everything we do at Calero is directed by our mission. 

• Credit Recovery

  • Calero provides multiple avenues for students to recover credits including Edgenuity, Adult Education at nearby campuses, community college courses online and on site. 

    • Every student recovers credits online during their credit recovery class.

    • Calero offers summer school courses.

• Build Success Habits  

  • Calero students have two things in common: they all have ability yet they are under-performing. The Advisory program is the place students begin to reflect on the habits/practices that are keeping them from being successful.

    • Every new student is invited to attend our Summer Bridge Program

    • Every student at Calero receives a laptop and is expected to bring it daily.

• Prepare for College and Careers 

  • Calero provides students with a plan for their future.  Their first task is to recover credits, pass all of their A-G courses with an A,B. or C, and then the world starts to open up for them.  There are online college courses, SVCTE opportunities, and more.

    • Calero schedules fall and spring college field trips for all grade levels

    • Calero has an academic counselor who works to ensure students are on track to graduate and ready for college and careers. Our counselor is on site Tuesday - Thursday.

    • Calero's default student schedule is A-G.

OUR CULTURE

At Calero we teach, model and celebrate our 3R's: Respect, Responsibility, Results

• The foundation of all healthy relationships is respect. 

  • RESPECT starts with respect for self, for others, and for our environment.

• We accept the premise that we must accept RESPONSIBILITY for our actions on a daily basis.

  • When students accept responsibility for themselves they become empowered, their self-esteem grows, and every dream becomes possible. 

• We are a RESULTS oriented school and celebrate individual and group success.
