V. Academic Achievement Committee
A.
Beginning of the Year Data Update
Annual goals for ILEARN- 30% pass rate for both ELA and Math. This would be about a 10% jump for each of the schools.
More "yellow" in iReady than historical- this is a positive since our program is designed to move scholars forward 1+ grade-levels
30% of our middle school scholars are new to CCP

A.
Beginning of Year Campaign Launch
Q1 giving- Scholar supplies, will launch on Monday through Bloomerang and social media
