Explain the activities in which your school will participate to increase your overall rating. Include specific details.

As evidenced in the SES Band Data, which content area(s) will be the focus for improving student achievement and why was this area chosen?

The SES band data indicates that we scored 71% proficiency in math which was slightly below the 2017-18 target of 75%.

The SES band data indicates that we scored 71% proficiency in reading which indicates we exceeded the target of 68%. Although we met the target we are still concerned with the lowest quartile since 42% of the lowest quartile made gains.

What specific school-level progress monitoring data is collected and how often?

• School-wide progress monitoring data of the i-Ready Diagnostics (Math and Reading) will be analyzed three times a year.
• Progress monitoring for Time on Task and Passing Rate for i-Ready lessons will be monitored weekly.
• Standards Mastery Data will be collected and analyzed by teams at PLC meetings.
• BAS data will be collected and analyzed three times a year.

How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals?

• Students in the lowest quartile have been identified and their progress will be monitored by classroom teacher and support staff.
• Students in the lowest quartile will benefit from push in/pull out reinforcement of skills from student support teachers.
