Oneka Elementary outlines fall screener results and sets stretch goals for 2025'26
Summary
Oneka presenter (Laurie Mosier referenced in the agenda) reported fall screening results and set district-aligned stretch goals (80% low-risk targets on reading/math screeners; 90% student experience and attendance). She described programs hosted at Oneka and family engagement plans.
A presenter introduced in the agenda, Laurie Mosier, reviewed Oneka Elementary's enrollment, programs and fall screening results for 2025'26 and outlined stretch goals designed to raise literacy, fluency and math outcomes.
Mosier reported Oneka has 457 students, about 18% qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, roughly 29 students of color (an increase from the prior year) and about 7% multilingual learners, including one student very new to the country. She outlined programs hosted at the school, including district cluster-pathway programs and special-education configurations that draw open-enrolled students from other buildings.
The presenter shared fall screener snapshots by grade: kindergarten 68% low risk in early reading and 86% low risk in math; first grade 52% low risk in literacy and 68% in math; second grade 55% in comprehensive reading and 56% fluency; third grade roughly 63% comprehension and 62% fluency; fourth grade comprehension 76% low risk; fifth grade comprehension 62% low risk. From these screeners, Oneka set 2025'26 goals of 80% low-risk on key screeners (K'1 and grades 2'5 targets), 90% of students reporting that they feel valued, safe and engaged, and 90%+ attendance.
Mosier described operational steps for reaching those stretch goals: systematic tiered instruction (tier 1 core instruction, tier 2 targeted intervention and tier 3 intensive services), regular data meetings (progress monitoring every six to eight weeks), and family engagement events (Boosterthon glow run, bingo night, family dinners and a possible talent show). She also noted partnerships with community groups and high-school mentorship programs planned for third' fifth graders.
Board members asked about conference attendance and district-level benchmarking; the presenter said Oneka sees parent-teacher conference attendance in the high nineties and offered to collect and report conference participation data along with student survey and SEL screener results to explore correlations across the district.
No formal board action was taken on the update.
