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 student achievement in English Language Arts and Math 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 academic areas of ELA and Math for the following subgroup: Students with Disabilties (SWD).

Educational Partner Involvement

How, when, and with whom did Dry Creek 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:
*Continue using Tier 3 intervention teachers to work on foundational skills and support students/subgroups who are performing below grade level. *Teachers will continue to use "Panther Time" (deployment) and small group instruction to reteach specific lessons and/or extend learning. *Students will continue to use their iReady My Path to work at their individual level to meet individual learning goals.
*Teachers will continue working with grade level PLCs to identify essential standards.

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 3 of 16	Dry Creek Elementary School

*We do not have Tier 3 intervention for math, this is something that we would like to look into for the future. *Teachers will explore pre and post assessments using the TWIG curriculum.
*Teachers will continue to use the TWIG curriculum for instruction.

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.

Overall Red Indicators include: *N/A

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: *Chronic Absenteeism: Two or More Races
*English Language Arts: SWD *Math: SWD

Additionally, the following indicators are red on our dashboard for the following subgroups: *N/A

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: *decreasing suspensions

Annual Review
Describe the overall implementation of these goals from the previous year. If this is a new goal an analysis is not required.
	
*Teachers are proficient in using the components of iReady and Benchmark to guide instruction. They have shown growth in using iReady diagnostic data to drive instruction and form instructional groups.

*Created a school-wide agenda for our PLCs and trained PLC leads at the beginning of the school year. Administration also required PLCs to share monthly agendas to support accountability and collaboration. This helped administration support specfic grade levels in analyzing data, focusing on specific essential standards and student achievement.

*During the TGLE process teachers were encourage to take a deep dive in students' i-Ready My Path tool to systematically monitor students' progress in reading and math to support differentiated instruction and also keep students on track for growth.

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 5 of 16	Dry Creek Elementary School

*Providing professional development will increase classified staff's capacity to use effective reading strategies in their small group instruction.

*Teachers continue to provide targeted Instruction, intervention and collaborative planning to support student achievement.

*Hired a part-time intervention teacher to support students K-3 for Tier 3 ELA to support students who were not meeting grade-level standards.

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.
