Continuous School Improvement Plan

• Professional learning around the iReady toolbox and student discourse occurred in September.
• Each grade level created a goal to support the school-wide goals.  Teams looked at previous goals, past and current data available. 
• Teams are refining lessons and common unit assessment. We want each student in grades 1-5 to score 80% or higher on every common unit assessment.

• Professional learning refresher on the iReady toolbox and student discourse occurred in February.
• The instructional coach trained all grade levels in Number Strings. All teachers will learn, plan, implement, and reflect with the coach on this new math routine.
• Grade levels revisited their goals and updated action steps.  The Continuous School Improvement Team analyzed school-wide iReady data.  All grade levels are decreasing tier 3 and increasing in tier 1 and 2.
• After each common unit assessment, grade level team and reflecting on the lessons taught in the unit and coming up with an action plan to support the students that did not score a 80% or higher. 

• Professional learning around the comprehension planning tool has occurred bi-monthly since September.
• Literacy walk-throughs occurred in October.  Strengths in the walk-throughs included: the use of High Quality Instructional Materials, integration of multiple reading standards throughout lessons, and strong vocabulary instruction.

• Grade level teams continue to participate in comprehension planning bi-monthly.  The data that was gathered from the October literacy walk-throughs was embedded in the planning sessions. 
• Mid-year literacy walk-throughs occurred in February.  Strengths and areas of growth were broken down into each grade level, rather than school-wide.
• Grade levels revisited their goals and updated action steps.  The Continuous School Improvement Team analyzed school-wide VALLS data.  The mid-year VALLS assessment was given to students and 129 students were identified as high risk in the fall, after the mid-year window 83 students were identified as high risk.  46 students moved from high risk to moderate risk.  

• Professional learning around vocabulary, discourse and phenomena occurred in September 2025. Ongoing professional learning is occurring each month with the Coordinator of Science Instruction.
• The Science Committee meets monthly to discuss common units and vocabulary across all grade levels.
• Each grade level created a goal to support the school-wide goal.  Each grade level chose to update all unit plans to include; key vocabulary, student discourse and a phenomena

• The Science committee continues to meet monthly.  They recently looked at SOL data.  The team determined the areas of concern and the areas of strength.  The team started discussing how to create a K-5 alignment guide to help the areas of concern. 
• The Science Committee designed and implemented a school-wide science experiment. The students used hot chocolate to investigate matter. 
• Grade levels revisited their goals and updated action steps

As of October 31, 2025, we had 96.23% of our students with 0 or 1 office referrals. This is out of 716 students.
