Winter School Data Updat

Goal review attached below.

Winter 2022 Reading Data
1. 61% of K-3 students in Pathways of Progress
2. Unavailable
3. This matches to the B goal of moving red to yellow
4. 77% of K-3 students at or above benchmark on Acadience Comp Score

This does not match to a goal

1. 67% of 4th graders and 76% of 5th graders scored proficient or advanced on Reading Inventory. This score is measured against EOY benchmarks. (71% combined)

This matches to C on the goals, which is 80% of our kids proficient on the reading inventory

1. Unavailable

Data not available yet for rise since we have not taken that test yet

Winter 2022 Math Data
These can be found on the second page of the TSP goals on the addendum
1. 74% of students K-5 are at or above benchmark on Acadience Comp Score

This was used using winter data from 2021.

We want to have 80% by the end of the year, currently 74%

1. Unavailable

Because we just received this data, we do not have the information here yet. This is a manual calculation

1. Unavailable

Not available yet as this is based on the RISE test, but that has not happened yet.

The one that concerns J. Nalwalker the most is the kids on pathway to progress as we want all children to be making progress. Another element that could affect this is our intervention time. Ideally we want kids in Tier 2 to be providing extra intervention time, though due to COVID, these individuals have also been performing sub duties with the lack of subs.

J Nalwalker would like to review the Tier 1 instruction and that can help us better understand how to focus on that additional group of children that need extra help in Tier 2. There are around 6-8 kids per class that receive the extra instruction in each class.

A few things going on now

All of our K3 teachers are involved in a higher level of training for science and reading. The teacher is understanding more of the science of reading so they can better look at the student to fill the holes where the students need more assistance. Currently the state is paying for the training for the K3 teachers. The school will look into this testing for the K4 and K5 teachers next year.

The board did approve our text book adoption for next year, that program will be a very big upgrade from the current reading street. The teachers will not have to create the program and piece it together, all of that is built in.

The teachers are very excited, as the group noted that reading street is very out dated.

About 80% of the teachers were looking forward to this adoption, so it is very well received in the school and class rooms

Other business-Lori

The group introduced Carrie. Carrie lives in Cottonwood Heights, her daughter is in 3rd grade and in DLI.

Carter reached out to the teachers to see how they were doing.
Givone noted that the social and emotional team with Kelsey Wever have been beyond amazing to help the children, as she noted there is for sure more of a need, and she can feel the stress from the children and there is a lot more of that team working with the children.

ACTION: L. Carter will contact the other SCC chairs regarding the Bill to see what the team can draft up. She will attend with them in person on March 2nd during the meeting and email them prior. J. Nalwalker will send the link out to the team so they can review it prior to the next meeting. During the next meeting the SCC will discuss this as a group and move forward with a SCC vote to bring to the board to vote against the bill. The group will plan to talk about this next meeting and vote formally.

Next Meeting

7:30am March 30th.

Nalwalker motion to adjourn, S. Briggs did the motion to second. All in favor. The meeting was ended. The meeting was formally ended.
