Agenda

  • Proposed Goals:
    • Reading: Increase the amount of students at or above benchmark from BOY to EOY by 5% per grade, 8% for the school.
    • Math: Increase the composite score of students at or above benchmark from BOY to EOY by 5% per grade, 8% for the school.
    • Language: Using the language outcomes,  students will increase their HFW data from BOY to EOY by 5% per grade,  8% for the school.
  • Data discussion for K and 1st grade:
    • Students that start K in red (well below benchmark),  even after progressing to blue in K, will often start 1st grade at red.  What can we do to help the slide?  Andrea proposed a PTC in the spring for K parents to educate parents and to share materials that can be used over the summer.
