In a recent meeting, school administrators outlined their strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing student performance and addressing educational disparities. Central to their discussions was the emphasis on maintaining high expectations for all students, which a recent study identified as a key predictor of student success. The administrators plan to utilize data collaboration days to analyze student performance, particularly following the first trimester benchmarks, and to set ambitious learning goals.

This year, the school has implemented a K-1 flex group to provide targeted, personalized learning for younger students, integrating mainstream and special education classrooms. Administrators are also focusing on refining their intervention model to ensure that the needs of students in various subgroups are met effectively.

Professional development is a priority, with plans to continue training teachers in Jan Richardson's reading strategies and to implement district-wide literacy initiatives. The teaching team will assess the effectiveness of online programs and adjust their practices accordingly to enhance student learning outcomes.

Additionally, a newcomer English Learner (EL) program has been launched to support students new to the U.S., focusing on developing oral language skills and vocabulary. Despite not meeting their goal of 65% of students achieving standards, the school reported progress, with an increase in proficiency among Hispanic, EL, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.

Looking ahead, the administration aims to align instructional practices across grade levels and enhance math support through hands-on learning activities. They are committed to continuous improvement, with a focus on providing quality interventions and support for all students, particularly those in targeted subgroups.
