In order to create a sense of community, we have a plan to incorporate more restorative practices over the next three years. Over the next three years, we will have a year of learning about a strategy with the intent to implement if fully the following year. During the learning year, teachers will receive professional development and opportunities to share implementation. To further enhance and support teachers in classroom a full time counselor will be on staff to provide behavioral support and strategies for students and teachers.We will also hire two MTSS (multi-tiered system of support) aides to support implementation.

At each SCC (school community council) meeting, we
review our goals and share progress on those goals. We share our academic
data, our attendance and our office disciplinary referral data. Our SCC has continued
to support our academic goals in reading and science. The teachers and administration
have been educating our parents about restorative practices, so that the parents can provide input on
our school climate goal. Our school climate goal from 2019-2020 has been very successful. By February 2020, 93% of teachers were in the effective range for positive/corrective feedback during an IPOP (Instructional Priority Observation Protocol) . We shared our SEL ( social-emotional learning) implementation plan with SCC and they were in agreement. Our school climate goal will include implementation of circle time in all classrooms and time to learn about Morning Meetings.

As we started the
discussion of the 2019-20 school year, the SCC indicated that they
would like to see us continue with a school counselor. The parents agree that the counselor has helped their children this year. Parents would like to see more social emotional supports.
For our academic goals, everyone agreed that English Language Arts needs to improve. We have made progress every year, but our growth still lags. We discussed looking at progress for each student instead of a proficiency.

If there are additional funds, the council recommends the school using this money to provide professional development and materials for teachers. This means funding would be used for subs or additional training. We also may need to purchase software, if we don not receive a state grant. Any extra money may be used to purchase technology for classrooms, additional textbooks and supplies.
