* All full time staff and some part time staff took part in the School Improvement Plan. Parent Input from Surveys and discussions. Two parents on the team.
* The 90 indicators were reviewed.Evidence of growth and areas of concern were identified and updated.
* MEAP, DELTA Math, DIBELs Reading and Classroom data were reviewed.• Our School Improvement team was trained in the new process with
Elizabeth Moraw facilitating. Then each member was assigned a content area to lead small groups through the process of reviewing data and writing goals. All staff had a voice in planning.
Each Content Area was unique
English Language Arts - different subgroups were struggling.
Writing - gaps evidenced in Free and Reduced Lunch and Gender Groups. Reading - 80% of all Kindergarten and 1st graders had met DIBELs end of year benchmarks by January!!!
Math - many students really struggled with fractions. Ordering fractions, comparing fractions, and manipulating fractions is quite challenging. DELTA Math improvements make it a more useful RtI planning tool for teachers.
Social Studies and Science - subgroups did not show unique differences in understanding but overall the scores were dramatically lowered by new cut scores. Teams exploring ways to bring all scores up.

• Being a Small Building means having more PART TIME staff than other buildings. The middle school staff has changed every year since Heights became a K-7 Building.
• Small Building with 2 section middle school has still been able to provide an Advanced Math for 7th Grade. Varied levels of ability would be better met with more opportunities for standard and advanced classes.
• Middle School Honor Roll numbers continue to climb over the year!! 6th grade from 46% to 62%
7th grade from 46% to 66%
