School Improvement Plan

Reading:  To assure for the development of fluency and comprehension skills, at or above grade level or representing more than one year’s expected growth, as measured by pre/post DRA screening and scheduled fluency checks.

Writing:  The writing program will place a strong emphasis upon personalization (individual voice) and intentional integration with reading program.  Language immersion will provide for a key motivational emphasis in student writing.

Math:  Grade Level Expectations (State Standards) will serve as a reference point for program focus in the areas of math.  Investigations Curriculum will support the implementation of a program balanced in the application of primary level math skills.  (WASL scores at the 3rd and 4th Grade Levels will serve as a reference point for this content area)
