Gwinnett County School District logo




Accountability and flexibility are hallmarks of Gwinnett County Public Schools' success. Key to that success is ensuring that each school community understands the progress being made by its schools, as well as what plans will drive improvement. Each school creates a collaborative Local School Plan for Improvement (LSPI) to increase student achievement results, with targeted goals based on the four strategic priorities within the district’s Blueprint for the Future: Empathy, Equity, Effectiveness, and Excellence. All schools across the district will focus on goals 2A- Multi-tiered Systems of Support and 2B- Opportunity and Access. Additionally, schools are required to select one goal from each of the other strategic priorities. LSPI goals are dynamic, like our schools, and are updated to reflect changes that occur in schools. Multiple data points are used to determine areas needing improvement and to identify specific, measurable, annual objectives. Schools then determine how to use research-based strategies to achieve these goals, using flexibility as needed. The LSPI development process involves teachers, parents, students, and community members, so the entire school community has the opportunity to be involved in conversations about school improvement.

Growth Factors (Baseline & Targets)
Empathy 1.B - Staff and Student Well Being

Chattahoochee Elementary School promotes student and staff wellbeing through prioritizing self-care, physical and mental health, social emotional learning, and regular attendance.

  1. Communicate regularly in community newsletters, principal town halls, and parent conferences the importance of regular attendance to promote student achievement. 
  2. Implement Joyful Learning to start each day in all pre-K to 5th grade classrooms to encourage students arrive each day on time. 
  3. Hold weekly meetings to discuss individual student attendance with administration, social worker and counselors. 
  4. Provide student interventions to promote positive reinforcement for regular attendance to school. 
  5. Implement a school-wide PBIS system to reward individual students who display behaviors that meet expectations and provide respectful redirections and consequences to positively impact student's behavioral choices. 

Reduce the percentage of chronically absent students for the 2025-2026 school year. (Baseline: 10.9% Target: 9.9%)

Equity 2.A - Multi-tiered System of Supports

A multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) is a proactive and preventative framework that allows us to integrate data and instruction to maximize student achievement and support students’ social, emotional, and behavior needs from a strengths-based perspective.

  1. Analyze data from the universal screener to identify academic and non-academic strengths.
  2. Provide responsive high-quality instructional strategies and interventions to each and every student.
  3. Leverage district assessment data, through data talks and data dive protocols, to gauge progress of our goal to reduce beginning percentages across students groups.
  4. Utilize the MTSS  Rubric to monitor interventions and move student progress forward in an atmosphere of continuous quality improvement.
  5. Utilize intervention block to ensure additional opportunities for small group, targeted instruction which supports the effective implementation of the MTSS process and/or provide additional interventions and supports to students. 
  6. Grade level teams will meet twice weekly for formalized CLT meetings and the MTSS Committee will meet monthly to support effective Tier 1 instruction. 
  7. Implement a school-wide PBIS system to reward individual students who display behaviors that meet expectations and provide respectful redirections and consequences to positively impact student's behavioral choices. 
  8. Continue to administer the universal screener to all students. 
  9. Provide targeted professional learning on small group instruction to support the use of high leverage intervention strategies to provide support for students. 
  10. Conduct monthly learning walks to gather feedback on instructional practices to ensure that all students are receiving high quality, explicit Tier 1 instruction. 
  11. Professional Development focusing on Explicit Instruction to improve the high-quality Tier 1 instruction for all students.
