The main goal  of School's improvement plan is to improve school's grade and increase student achievement:

• Continue instructional support with Reading & Math, and Writing  Coaches.
• Hire paras to support our ELL population.
• Utilize non-instructional staff to support student learning for ESE & ELL students.
• Teacher Academy
• Professional Development

Cultural Goals:

• Monthly celebrations and recognitions for students, staff, and teachers
• Monthly student assemblies on positive character/behavioral traits.
• Increase parent involvement and communication - monthly/ quarterly meetings, newsletters, website access, parental App, emails/text messages/ phone calls.
• Home visits - conduct weekly home visits to build positive relationships with parents and students. The visits will focus on the whole family verses academics and behavioral concerns.

Strategy effectiveness will be monitored on a weekly basis. Administrators and teachers will assess students progress and check for understanding. iRedy data will also be utilized to show student progress. Teachers Data notebooks will also be used to show progress toward the goal.
