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 school site goals that aligns with LCAP goals. It is our ultimate goal to implement this plan and continue to increase academic achievement for all students. Our plan includes goals around our California Dashboard areas of academic achievement and school culture for the following subgroups: absenteeism rates for students with disabilities and socially economically disadvantaged students as well as suspension rates for white students and African American groups.

Educational Partner Involvement

How, when, and with whom did Riverview Elementary 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:
•	Utilize Tier III guide to identify, monitor (pre and post) student data. •	Continue tiered intervention and track student progress.
•	Continue to provide ELD instruction for EL students.

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 3 of 15	Riverview Elementary School

•	Utilize research based practices when delivering tiered instruction and ELD support.
•	Provide professional development for teachers and staff centered around best teaching practices. •	Provide school activities for student engagement and involvement.

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. There are no overall red or orange all student indicators for Riverview.

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: Suspension Rates: white students

Additionally, we have no subgroups with red indicators on our dashboard.

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:

•	iready winter diagnostic indicates that 6% of Riverview falls below proficient by 2 or more grade levels in both ELA.
•	- iready winter diagnostic indicates that 5% of Riverview falls below proficient by 2 or more grade levels in both Math.

2024 SART Parent Survey indicates improvements in the following areas: •	Increased communication specifically about attendance policy
•	Improvement in reading and math skills

2024 Student LCAP Survey of 4th-6th grade students at Riverview indicates needs for improvement in the following areas: •	Respect and fairness among students (student to student)
•	43% of students feel that teachers/staff care that they are absent

The 2024 CUSD Staff Climate Assessments indicates needs for improvement in the following areas: •	Instructional support by administration

Annual Review
Describe the overall implementation of these goals from the previous year. If this is a new goal an analysis is not required.
	
Working well:
*Tier 2 and 3 schedules *Grade-level deployment *PLC data
* Implantation of a Tier III guide that walks teams through identifying and monitoring student data in intervention cycles.

Areas that need improvement:
* Utilization of SST process as an additional step in the intervention process. *Staffing continues to be a concern

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 5 of 15	Riverview Elementary School

* Implementation of AVID strategies and continue to train more teachers in AVID practices.
	
Identified Need(s)
As a result of the analysis of data and your annual implementation review, describe any changes that will be made (next school year) in this goal, annual metrics, and actions to achieve this goal.
	
Based on our data analysis and needs assessment, we need to:
*Refine our instructional practices around ELA for all students with special considerations for our SWD subgroups *Refine instructional practices in math for all students, with special consideration for our SWD subgroups
* Provide additional resources (TOSA support) for targeted intervention for 4th grade students.
* Refine use of established systems (SST and Tier 3 Guide) to identify, intervene and monitor progress for students.
* Provide additional training on AVID strategies for teachers to increase academic rigor across all grades and subject areas. * Focus intervention process around common essential standards.

Annual Review
Describe the overall implementation of these goals from the previous year. If this is a new goal an analysis is not required.
	
As per the California Department of Education dashboard for our site, Riverview had a decrease in our Chronically Absent rates from 30.6% in 21/22 to 15.5% in in 22/23. This is due to continued collaboration with our SSSA department to identify and manage those families who, at reporting periods throughout the school year, are at 10% or higher in absenteeism rates (both excused and unexcused absences). Weekly and monthly home-to-school communication via site and district generated letters addressing attendance concerns as well as Attendance Review Meetings and School Attendance Review Board meetings.
	
Identified Need(s)
As a result of the analysis of data and your annual implementation review, describe any changes that will be made (next school year) in this goal, annual metrics, and actions to achieve this goal.

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 8 of 15	Riverview Elementary School

Our CA dashboard indicator illustrates that we have a need to continue to address Chronic Absenteeism specifically in our SWD population as well as suspension rates for our White Population.

At elementary schools, the school site council must be constituted to ensure parity between (a) the principal, classroom teachers, and other school personnel, and (b) parents of students attending the school or other community members. Classroom teachers must comprise a majority of persons represented under section (a). At secondary schools there must be, in addition, equal numbers of parents or other community members selected by parents, and students. Members must be selected by their peer group.
