District Goals and Plan Overview

The purpose of the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is to provide a comprehensive document, including details of site planned actions and expenditures as they relate to the goals of Clovis Unified School District. The plan supports student outcomes and overall performance in connection with the District's Local Control and Accountability Plan and in alignment with the district goals supporting the expectations that all goals shall have objectives that are measurable, actionable, and develop monitoring metrics to assess progress that guides program evaluation and resource allocation.

Our district AIMS as well as our district’s CLASSI goals are woven throughout our plan to meet the high expectations our district holds for our school sites, staff, students, and community.

District AIMS:
AIM I: Maximize Achievement for ALL Students
AIM II: Operate with Increasing Efficiency and Effectiveness
AIM III: Hire, Develop, Sustain, and Value a High-Quality Diverse Workforce

Plan Description

Briefly describe your school’s plan for effectively meeting ESSA’s planning requirements in alignment with the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and other federal, state, and local programs.

Within our SPSA we have created a plan that focuses on standards mastery and suspension rates. It is our ultimate goal to implement this plan and continue to increase academic achievement for all students. Our plan includes goals around our SBAC results in the areas of ELA and Math and suspension rates for the following subgroups: African-American and EL students.

Educational Partner Involvement

How, when, and with whom did Granite Ridge Intermediate School consult as part of the planning process for this SPSA/Annual Review and Update?

Involvement Process for the SPSA and Annual Review and Update

Our educational partners, including but not limited to our SSC, ELAC, and staff, play a huge role in the creation, monitoring, and revisions of our School Plan for Student Achievement. Throughout the year, we regularly revisit our SPSA at our SSC meetings by discussing the budget and goals, student achievement, available supports for students and families, and more. At our most recent SSC and ELAC meetings, our SPSA monitoring tool was reviewed with our committees to allow them to see where we were with last year’s goals, where we see continued gaps, and where we have identified wins in achievements. Our committees then discussed possible next steps and needed changes as well as made recommendations to site administration for our SPSA.

The following recommendations were made:
* Continue to implement a math "boot camp" sessions for all 7th and 8th grade students
*Include in the 24-25 school year: SBAC practice tests for students with special needs to familiarize the online testing process and give additional practice opportunities.
* Continue to review data from common assessments, while focusing on the standards not mastered to guide reteaching.

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 3 of 14	Granite Ridge Intermediate School

* Continue to provide tier 2 intervention during lunch and after school for additional support. * Improve on providing additional small group instruction and supports for EL students.
* Improve on PLCs by connecting special education and EL teachers with the general education teachers to develop meaningful strategies.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Components

Identify and describe any areas that need significant improvement based on a review of Dashboard and local data, including any areas of low performance and significant performance gaps among student groups on Dashboard indicators, and any steps taken to address those areas.

California School Dashboard (Dashboard) Indicators

Referring to the California School Dashboard (Dashboard), any state indicator for which overall performance was in the “Red” or “Orange” performance category. Granite Ridge Intermediate's Overall Red Indicators include: None

Granite Ridge Intermediate's Overall Orange Indicators include: Suspension Rates

Referring to the California School Dashboard (Dashboard), any state indicator for which performance for any student group was two or more performance levels below the “all student” performance.

The following subgroups have two or more indicators below the all student performance level in the following areas: *SWD-Chronic absences, suspension rates, ELA, and Math

We also have red indicators for our AA and EL subgroups in the area of suspension rates

Other Needs

In addition to Dashboard data, other needs may be identified using locally collected data developed by the LEA to measure pupil outcomes.

Local indicators and educational partner feedback also indicate that we have needs in the following areas: *We need to look at our overall system and address suspension rates
