Academic Goals
The percentage of students "On-Track" on the D and F Early Warning Indicator is inconsistent in each grade level. Our current year average is 75% on-track, with a quarter low of 71%, and a quarter high of 81% respectively.
To increase the number of "On-Track" students on the D and F Early Warning Indicator to 80% or more in each grade level each quarter.
| No | Yes |
Teachers will conduct an ongoing analysis of their assessment grades to track their overall student success. With this information, teachers will adjust scaffolds and curriculum to ensure students are being successful on assessments and will schedule a re-take session during the school day if 75% of students do not reach proficiency.

School Climate Goals
In past student surveys, there has been a low number of students reporting feeling recognized for following school rules. There has been inconsistency in recognizing and rewarding students and their expected behavior, making it difficult to see the impact of students receiving recognition for following school wide expectations.
To implement PBIS Rewards, a school wide rewards system, with 100% of students receiving recognition with "points" on their PBIS Rewards card.
| No | Yes |
1. Grade level teams will continue to implement quarterly rewards. ($4100)
2. We will continue to develop our WEB program and activities through WEB teacher planning time. ($1,500)
3. We will continue to support the social/emotional well being of all students with the support of a full-time school counselor ($7,000),
4. We will be implementing a school-wide program Kindness Campaign led by our counselors and social worker that focuses on positive social relationships and executive functioning skills. ($1,000)
5. We will extend our attendance office aide hours to reward student attendance each week and quarter.($1,000)
6. We will actively pursue ways to inform and teach students about the dangers and effects of vaping through a contracted professional speaker and anti vaping materials ($3,000).

6. We will actively pursue ways to inform and teach students about the dangers and effects of vaping through a contracted professional speaker and anti vaping materials ($3,000).
We will use the data from the PBIS Rewards system to determine the percentage of students who have received "points" as recognition.
The goal will be outlined to students during the opening class meetings and through opening PBIS lessons detailing the PBIS Rewards system. An email will be sent to parents at the beginning of the school year regarding this system as well as regarding weekly WEB time. Emails will be sent monthly to parents communicating the monthly theme. These themes will also be communicated through the school's webpage. Progress toward the goal will also be communicated with stakeholders through quarterly reports.
