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. 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 and social emotional areas of ELA, Math, and suspension rates for the following subgroups: all students, with a particular emphasis on our white population in the area of suspension and SWD students in the area of ELA.

Educational Partner Involvement

How, when, and with whom did Fort Washington 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 to provide intervention supports in ELA and mathematics, continue schoolwide implementation of social emotional curriculum and positivity project, and continue communication with families to increase our attendance rate.

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. Fort Washington has no overall indicators in red for all students.

Fort Washington has orange as an overall indicator for all students in the area of 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: *Students with Disabilities in English Language Arts and Mathematics

Additionally, the following indicators are red on our dashboard for the following subgroups: *Suspension Rates: white population
*English Language Arts: SWD

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 progress *iCal progress

Annual Review
Describe the overall implementation of these goals from the previous year. If this is a new goal an analysis is not required.
	
We have implemented an MTSS system to include additional intervention opportunities during the school day. Teachers met with site admin to discuss TGLE's (Teacher Grade Level Expectations) and developed plans for at-risk students. Teachers continue to monitor student progress in weekly PLC 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.
