Strategic Plan Goal Update
- Summer School instruction was two weeks and instruction will end on Friday, June 16.
- Milestone scores are not available.
- Milestone retesting will begin Tuesday, June 20th and will end on Wednesday, June 21st. Retest on Thursday, June 22nd.
- Kenya Morris asked about the timeframe for retesting Milestones and Summer School.
- Ms. Avery's response: Groups have been developed with targeted standards. Progress checks are happening every Friday based one the standards. Children who may not pass Milestones, they want to keep their minds fresh.
- Cognia review with Spring 24. Leadership has attended the pre-work session. It would be important for someone from the school leadership team that is accredited to oversee the review process.
- February 2024 all documents need to be updated in the platform. We should be creating a calendar, tasks required, responsible, and what is ready for upload into platform.
- Principal Abdul-Salaam will send an email about attending a review training. The training should be completed at least 6 months out.
- The key point is to complete the surveys, analyze, and publish results. Surveys need to be planned now.
