COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT of the entire school (including the needs of migrant children) with information about the academic achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards.
Describe the process utilized to conduct the comprehensive needs assessment for this school.

Teachers and administrators at Lakeside came together during preplanning week to review and discuss prior year assessment data from the FSA. Information was organized to show individual teachers, grade level, and school wide results. Teachers analyzed academic achievement results in all core subjects and subgroups including race, gender, economic disadvantages, students with IEP's and ESOL students. 

Instruction by HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS in all core content area classes
List instructional staff and paraprofessionals that are NOT highly qualified (instructional staff only).

ATTRACT HIGH-QUALITY, HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS to the school.
Describe strategies that will be used to attract high-quality, highly qualified teachers.

At Lakeside recruitment and retention of quality teachers is a top priority. In order to attract highly qualified teachers we search apple track and conduct family style interviews with our interviewing panel.  The family of Lakeside Elementary has a reputation in the community and district, so we pride ourselves in that many teachers would like to work at our school.

Title I funds provide additional teachers to assist students, particularly low performing students.

We are providing substitutes for teachers to attend professional training with their cadre teachers.  These included small group guided reading, math, science, and Document Based Questioning. We are also providing substitutes for all teachers in the school for professional learning two times during the school year as teams to work together to develop standards based lessons.  

Lakeside Title I funds are used for refreshments and supplies for Literacy Night, Math Night, and Science Technology Night.

Pre-School Transition

Lakeside Elementary School services three classes of Specialized PreK ESE (formerly Preschool Learning Activities Classroom Experience-PLACE) and one Head Start class. The ESE Specialist conducts IEP meetings with all PreK student families to provide vertical articulation during the school year to ensure that the transition from the early childhood programs to kindergarten program is smooth. Also a Kindergarten Orientation is also held prior to the beginning of the school year and these PreK students are included. This gives the incoming kindergarten students an opportunity to meet their new teacher and get acclimated to their classroom. Additionally, parents are given an overview of the kindergarten curriculum and expectations.

Parent Involvement Goal:
Based on the analysis of the parent involvement data, identify and define an area in need of improvement.

We were not a Title I school for the 2017 - 18 school year.  We did not maintain data for parent involvement.  The goal of Lakeside Elementary is to have at least 50% of parents involved in school events for the 2018-19 school year.
