            This is our current TSSP plan:

            Literacy: Performance Goal

       75% of students will meet or exceed expected growth on the Reading Inventory (RI) during the current school year.

             Math: Performance Goals

  • 60% of students will meet or exceed expected growth rates on the Mathematics Inventory (MI) during the current school year.

 

      PBIS Goals

  • 80% of the formal and informal observations during the current school year will have a positive to corrective feedback ratio of at least 3:1.

 

  • By May of 2021, student connectivity and wellness will increase as measured by improved scores from the pre and post wellness survey through implementation of after school programming, counseling supports and the social emotional curriculum.

      2- My school sets clear rules for behavior.

      3- Adults at my school treat me with respect. 

 

     Three Lowest Scores:

      1- At my school, students are recognized for following the school rules. 

      2- My school is a place where I feel safe. 

      3- I like my school. 

 

      2021 Parent – Survey Results 

      Three Highest Scores: 

      1- Staff members are respectful toward parents. 

      2- This school communicates effectively with me.

      3- I feel welcome at this school.
