Sunnycrest and Skyline principals lay out academic, math and SEL targets for 2025–26
Summary
Sunnycrest and Skyline leaders presented school improvement targets, including ELA and i-Ready percentage goals, intervention schedules, PLC strategies, and SEL aims; some baseline numbers in the minutes are unclear and are noted as such.
School leaders from Sunnycrest and Skyline presented their 2025–26 improvement goals and first-semester action steps during the Oct. 22 Lake Stevens School District board meeting.
Sunnycrest Associate Principal Susan Lorow and Principal Mikey Trexel outlined targets including an ELA SBA goal to increase the percentage of 3rd–5th graders meeting or exceeding standard from 60% to 70%, and an i‑Ready target for informational text from about 61% to 71%. The minutes list a final math SBA target of 65% but the baseline number in the document is unclear; the board packet should be consulted for the exact baseline figure. Trexel described a plan of intervention blocks (45 minutes for ELA, 30 minutes for math), PLC collaboration with team-release data cycles, support from the SIP TOSA for lesson modeling and observations, continued GLAD professional learning, and a new block schedule to expand access to interventions and enrichment.
Skyline Principal Tori Thomas and TOSA Kristen Smutz presented Skyline’s grade-level goals (examples in the minutes include a 3rd-grade ELA SBA target of 70% and grade-specific increases for 4th and 5th grades), i‑Ready percentage targets and an SEL goal to have 90% of students meet Tier 1 schoolwide behavior expectations. Associate Principal Crissi Johnson presented first-semester action steps focused on Tier 1 strategies, PLT progress monitoring, consistent PBIS practices, and expanding before- and after-school learning aligned to intervention cycles.
Both schools emphasized using PLC cycles and targeted intervention to close gaps, strengthen teacher practice and support multilingual learners. The board received these informational presentations; no formal policy votes were taken on academic goals during this meeting.
