After reviewing survey data from students, it became clear that an increased focus on wellbeing is essential. As the school moves forward, prioritizing the wellbeing of students will be key to our efforts to continue to strengthen overall school culture and success. 

1. The Administrative team, counselor, and SEL lead will collaborate with student leaders to gather student perspectives about their school experience. 
2. The Counselor, Social Worker and Administrative team will meet at least once a month to identify and address support needs for students experiencing chronic absences. 
3. Teachers will create positive, engaging, and inclusive learning communities for their students. 
4. The Instructional Leadership Team will work closely with the Administrative Team to better understand the collaborative needs of staff and grade-level teams. This will include gathering regular feedback from their respective teams each month to help identify areas where additional support is needed.

Staff Survey 

Attendance Data

Reduce chronic absenteeism of our student body by 8% over the previous year.

Based on our school needs assessment and instructional leadership team conversations, we believe a well-defined and executed multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) must be in place in order to reach and teach every child. We want to reduce variability and increase the fidelity of High-Quality Tier 1 instruction for all students, including intentional small groups, access to grade level curriculum, ongoing formative assessments, and progress monitoring. We want to provide targeted, research-based Tier 2 and 3 interventions for students needing academic, and behavioral support. We want to promote regular attendance, ensuring all students have access to instruction.

1. "Wildcat" Time (intervention/enrichment block) built into the main schedule with purposeful planning for that time during Collaborative planning time to ensure additional opportunities for small group, targeted instruction which supports the effective interventions and acceleration supports to students.
2. Utilize classroom walkthroughs, peer observations, and feedback (informal and formal) to enhance and monitor High Quality Tier 1 Instruction 
3. Designate two days a week for formalized CLT  meetings  or Professional learning  to support effective Tier 1 instruction
4. Continuation of our Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) program
5. Implement a schoolwide tiered Attendance plan to encourage regular student and staff attendance
6. Extended Learning Time program with targeted AKS support in Language Arts and Math
