Welcome – Ms. Stacy
Continue drafting TSSP and LAND Trust plans for next school year. Discuss goals/direction for TSSP based on information shared:
Multi-year goal: Students in grade 3-5 will increase their proficiency on RISE ELA from 61% to 75% proficient and students in K-3 will increase their proficiency on Acadience Reading Composite from 72% on benchmark or above, to 80%.
Academic Goal 1: 80% of students in grades K-2 will show proficiency in phonics skills according to 95% unit assessments. 80% of students in grades 3-5 will show proficiency in grade level reading standards as measured by Wonders Progress Monitoring Assessments.
This will allow teachers to decide what questions show proficiency, because sometimes the students are asked questions that are above grade level or not relevant to future grades. Aubrey thinks some of the third grade tests are much harder than grade level so even choosing a few questions, they may not be able to show proficiency. Ms. Stacey has noticed kids don’t have stamina to read the longer passages and there are two long passages for third grade. We may just choose one passage. There is no risk to choosing a high goal and not meeting it. There is no quick fix or 1-year solution, we think this will take us some time. Discussed action steps, including maintaining MTSA teacher hours, “data days,” 2 summer planning days, students provided with increased opportunities to read throughout the day, etc. Possibly a community reading night. PTA would love to support a reading night.
Academic Goal 2: 80% of students in grades K-5 will show proficiency in grade level math standards as measured by Amplify Desmos Unit Tests.
This is a new math program. There is a 2-question pretest for each unit plus checkpoints throughout the unit. The instructional supports for reading goal above can be used for math supports as well. Students will be provided math manipulatives in order to productively struggle in solving math problems. Possibly doing a math night once a year. Instructional aides support students in their needs for both reading and math.
School climate goal: decrease office referrals by 10% from 160 to 144 at the end of March.
To do this we will increase the school social worker hours, hire 2 part-time behavior assistants and increase hours for behavior assistants for breaks and interventions. Aubrey thinks we should make visits to the bobcat den a positive thing. Visits to the bobcat den are not the same as an office referral. Visiting the bobcat den when they need it is a preventative. It should be praised as a proactive action. Students will request breaks when needed.
Review current year’s LAND Trust plan, data, and expenditures and discuss if they are on course or if amendments are necessary:
Budgets look like they’re on track.
