General Description
Corona Elementary School was built in 1964 with various additions to permanent structures completed in 1967. Our school has
adequate space for teaching and learning which includes 34 classrooms. There are three permanent classroom wings. In
addition, Corona has 13 portable classrooms that were installed between the years of 1968 and 2008. One of these portables
is the school library that also provides a space for instructional purposes when needed. The main office building includes the
front office, principal's office, elementary administrator's office, health office, conference room, work room and staff lounge. Two
small storage rooms on the campus have been renovated and turned into a small classroom and additional office space.
Corona has a large field and four different areas with adequate playground equipment to allow for positive student
engagement. We have 8 student restrooms; all with toilets and sinks in proper working conditions. During the 2007-2008 and
2008-2009 school years, Corona underwent a modernization project that addressed California State Code Accessibility by
providing accessible restroom facilities, working space and sinks in classrooms, drinking fountains, paths of travel including
ramps and curb cuts, passenger loading zones, bus drop-off, parking, and signage. Panic hardware was installed on doors,
and new door thresholds were also part of this project.
Our school facility offers a positive learning environment will fully functioning lighting, heating and cooling systems, and noise
negation. Internet access is available in all offices and classrooms. Each primary grade classroom has between four and six
student computers. The upper grade classrooms each have their own computer cart with individually-assigned student
computers. All Corona classrooms have a Smartboard, document camera, and printer. The district Information Services
Department maintains a content filter for all Internet traffic, including E-mail, in accordance with the Children's Internet
Protection Act (CIPA) guidelines.
Student Safety
Students are supervised immediately before and after school by staff. All students, parents, and other visitors enter the school
through the front gates each morning. All visitors must check in at the front office and wear a visitor's badge to show proof that
they have come through the office. District employees and substitutes all wear district-issued identification badges. Students
who are leaving early must be checked out through the front office by parents or guardians. All staff members are diligent about
being aware of adults on campus at all times. Visitors without badges are escorted to the office.
Maintenance and Repair
The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. Corona Elementary School is
maintained in a manner that assures it is clean and that all facilities are in good working order. The district works with custodial
staff to develop cleaning schedules that ensure all classrooms, offices, and restrooms are cleaned daily. Restroom checks are
done periodically throughout the school day. Staff and students work to maintain an orderly, clean, graffiti and litter-free school
of which all can be proud.
The district takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional. Site and district maintenance and
grounds staff make sure that the work necessary to keep the school in good repair and aesthetically pleasing is completed in a
timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest
priority. The floors, walls, and plumbing are all in good shape.
The district's Operations Department conducts an annual in-depth evaluation of each school to determine the condition of the
facilities and identify situations that need maintenance, repair, or an upgrade. The district uses a facility survey instrument
developed by the State of California Office of Public School Construction to assist with the data gathering during the
inspections. All findings are shared with the principal and work orders for needed repairs are created at that time. The results of
this survey are available at the school office or the district office.
